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 or 7138 / Edexcel 9BS0 / OCR H431 or H436). Read every Paper-2 topic heading. Rate each 1 to 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.
