A day-by-day study plan for the window between A-Level Business papers. Built around how memory actually consolidates — light, then heavy, then light. Stretch or compress by ±1 day depending on your board's Paper 2 date. One page, print, pin to a wall.
One 30-min pass through a one-page summary (the Tuesday Morning Sheet works). No new material. No mock papers. Sleep 8+ hours. Your brain consolidates yesterday's Paper 1 learning during this sleep — protect it.
Open your spec (AQA 7132 / Edexcel 9BS0 / OCR H431). Read every Paper-2 topic heading. Rate each 1–5 on confidence. Identify the single weakest. Tomorrow is that topic only.
Your weakest topic from Day 2. Re-read your notes, find one worked example, do two short questions on it. Depth beats breadth this close to the exam — don't try to cover everything.
Pick any past Evaluate question. Plan it for 2 min. Write it in 18 min. Stop. Then mark it against the mark scheme. Look for AO4 — that's where most marks are lost.
One section of a past Paper 2. Strict timing. Self-mark immediately with the mark scheme open. Note your three biggest mark-loss patterns. Don't fix them today — just note.
For each of the three mark-loss patterns from Day 5: write the corrected sentence stem you'd have used. You now have three new go-to lines for Paper 2. Light revision in the evening — no mock attempts.
This morning: 5 minutes with the Tuesday Morning Sheet. Walking to school: phone away. In the exam: plan first, then write, then check. You know how this goes.
