Step 1: Stop the Bleeding (Day 1)
- Audit every subject: what's missing?
- Sort by urgency: critical (48h), important (1-2 weeks), can wait.
- Tell your teachers — they almost always help students who show initiative.
Step 2: Triage Week (Days 2-7)
- Days 2-3: Handle critical items (50% submission > 0%).
- Days 4-5: Start closing knowledge gaps.
- Days 6-7: Create a 4-week recovery schedule.
Step 3: 4-Week Recovery Sprint
- Weeks 1-2: Foundation rebuild (breadth over depth).
- Week 3: Deepen understanding with harder questions.
- Week 4: Integration testing with past papers.
Daily Routine: ~2.5 Hours Extra
- Before school: flashcards (20 min).
- After school: recovery study (90 min).
- Evening: preview tomorrow's classes (30 min).
Key Rule
Don't skip current classes to catch up on old material.
