How to actually use your 30 days

A single full pass plus targeted revision of your weak areas — one demanding month.

Approach
one full pass plus a targeted second look at weak topics

This 1-month plan gives you 30 days to work through 41 weighted UPCAT (Philippines) topics across 4 subjects — roughly 1.4 new topics a day at 5–6 hours of focused study. That is a demanding but realistic daily load for a one-month working timeline.

UPCAT (Philippines) marks are not spread evenly across subjects. Mathematics, Science, and English carry the heaviest weightage in recent papers, so this plan front-loads them — so they are mastered in the first fortnight and the lighter subjects fill the rest. Cover weight 3–5 topics thoroughly. Give weight 1–2 topics a single light reading in your final week rather than skipping them outright.

30 days lets you cover the full UPCAT (Philippines) syllabus once at a steady pace, then circle back to whatever stayed shaky. At this pace it is tempting to chase coverage and never revise. Protect the weekly consolidation day — it is what makes the pass stick.

What to prioritise & cut

Cover weight 3–5 topics thoroughly. Give weight 1–2 topics a single light reading in your final week rather than skipping them outright.

Mock tests & revision

From the second week, sit one full-length mock every week and analyse it fully before moving on — analysis matters more than the score.

Weekly rhythm

Each week: 5 days new topics, 1 day consolidating that week, 1 day mock + review. Keep a running error log.
