Thirty days is enough to transform a CSCA score — if every day has one job. This plan runs Diagnose → Drill → Time → Mock → Clear, and it plugs directly into the free tools on this site. Set your exam date first: the study plan builder auto-switches between 30, 14, 7, 3 and 1-day modes. Not sure the plan fits your papers? Confirm which subjects you need first.
Week 1 — Diagnose (days 1–7)
- Take the 10-question diagnostic and one full mock to baseline every subject.
- List topics by expected marks × current accuracy — that ranking is your whole plan.
- Cover every syllabus module once at Learn level; no timed work yet.
Week 2–3 — Intensify (days 8–21)
- Drill only weak high-weight topics at CSCA Standard difficulty, accuracy first.
- Add 10-question timed sets and push pace toward 75 seconds per question.
- Log every error by cause; re-clear the Mistake Book twice a week — the top-10 mistakes shows which patterns to expect.

Week 4 — Sprint (days 22–30)
- Full 48-question mocks every 2–3 days on the real day schedule.
- Review each mock against the syllabus plus your mistake log the same day.
- Taper: light review and formulas only in the final 48 hours.
Track it, don't feel it
Feelings lie; dashboards don't. Watch readiness, accuracy and speed on the progress page across the month — flat or rising lines mean the plan works. Set numeric targets from the scores guide — a plan without a target number drifts. Full subject coverage lives in the study hub.
Can I prepare for CSCA in 30 days?
Yes, if foundations exist: week 1 diagnose, weeks 2–3 drill weak high-weight topics timed, week 4 full mocks. From zero, allow 60+ days.
How many mocks in 30 days?
Minimum 3–5 full timed mocks plus short timed sets between them. Stability across mocks matters more than one high score.
What if my exam is in 7 days?
Switch to sprint mode: one mock every other day, mistake clearing between, formulas only at the end. The plan builder has a dedicated 7-day mode — and the timeline guide shows when sprinting is enough.
