With the date sheet now official, the smartest next step isn't just marking dates on a calendar — it's working backwards from them. RevSlay's Study Plan does exactly that: tell it your exam date and it builds a week-by-week plan from today to exam day, paced to your actual syllabus coverage, with a dedicated revision-only window before the exam and real exam-weightage priority on every chapter — not a generic countdown.
