Identify the gaps and divide the plan into small steps
Before working on your AYT topic gaps, clarify exactly where you struggle. Instead of writing “I am behind in mathematics,” list specific areas such as functions, trigonometry, or integrals. A short topic review or a subject-based practice test can help you create a more accurate picture.
It may help to divide your list into three groups: topics that require learning the basics, topics that can improve through practice, and topics that can remain a lower priority for now. Start with subjects that are important for the exam and provide a foundation for other topics.
Set a small, measurable goal for each study session. Rather than saying “study trigonometry,” plan to complete a specific section, review the essential formulas, and solve a set of introductory questions. At the end of the session, record not only how long you studied but also what became clearer and where you still felt uncertain.
Combine learning with question practice. Begin with basic questions to check your understanding, then move toward medium-level and more unfamiliar problem types. When reviewing mistakes, identify whether the cause was missing knowledge, a calculation error, or a misunderstanding of the question.
Review your progress once a week. Keep both completed topics and topics that need another round of practice in your plan. If necessary, make your daily targets smaller; steady progress is usually more useful than trying to complete too many topics in a short period of time.
