  • Choose one listed section and explain its main ideas aloud without looking at notes.
  • Write five questions you would ask from that section, then answer them from memory.
  • Mark one topic you find difficult and make a one-page revision sheet for it.
  • After revising, attempt a past or sample paper only if its board, subject, language, and year match yours.
