📆 Why Weekend Study Boosters Matter
In a 90-day exam prep timeline, weekends are your best opportunity for extended focus. A structured weekend booster plan allows you to:

• Reinforce weekday learning
• Build exam stamina
• Target weak areas with depth
• Practice full-length sections under timed conditions

Here’s how to structure your Saturdays and Sundays for maximum retention and confidence.

🎯 Weekend Study Booster Structure

🗓️ Saturday: Deep Review + Application

✔️ Session 1 – Focused Review (2 hours)

• Choose 1–2 high-weight topics (e.g., suitability, regulatory rules)
• Use outlines, summary sheets, and concept maps
• Teach-back method: explain aloud what you learned

✔️ Session 2 – Practice Questions (90 minutes)

• Topic-specific quizzes (20–40 questions)
• Review each answer in detail—correct and incorrect
• Log weak points in a study tracker

✔️ Session 3 – Flashcard Drill (30 minutes)

• Use spaced repetition apps or physical cards
• Prioritize definitions, rules, and formulas

🗓️ Sunday: Full-Length Simulation + Retention Work

✔️ Morning – Timed Practice Exam (2.5–3 hours)

• Mimic real exam conditions (no notes, timed)
• Use questions that combine multiple content areas
• Focus on pacing, question interpretation, and mental stamina

✔️ Afternoon – Error Analysis (1–2 hours)

• Categorize every missed question: knowledge gap, misread, or guess
• Return to study materials for targeted review
• Write down “what I missed and why” for repeat mistakes

✔️ Evening – Light Review (30 minutes)

• Revisit summary notes, cheat sheets, or short concept videos
• Do 5–10 easy flashcards for retention

🧠 Booster Tips

• ✳️ Rotate focus areas each weekend to cover all domains
• 🔁 Revisit topics from 2–3 weeks ago for spaced review
• 🚫 Avoid cramming—weekends are for reinforcement, not burnout
• ✅ Track your quiz scores to measure growth week to week
