FAQ

Q: Can 30 days lift me from 60% to 75%?

Yes, with strict past-paper discipline. Beyond 75% requires longer-term concept work.

Q: Is academy worth it in the last 30 days?

Mixed. If you have not been in one yet, no — you cannot catch up culturally. If you are already enrolled, attend revision sessions only.

Q: How many hours of sleep?

7–8. Sleep deprivation costs more marks than the extra study earns.
