What you need
Steps
List every subject you are behind in and mark each as strong, weak or untouched. This shows where revision time should go first.
Limit new annotations to under 5% of each subject. Add only facts you are likely to forget, not everything from the textbook.
Turn those forgotten points into flashcards, one fact per card. Keep the question on the front and a short answer on the back.
Review your flashcards daily using active recall. Cover the answer, say it aloud, then check and rate how well you knew it.
Schedule spaced repetition so hard cards come back sooner and easy cards later. A flashcard app can handle this timing for you.
Solve past year questions for each subject after you finish its cards. Note the topics you keep getting wrong.
Take a grand test (GT) each week to check progress across subjects. Review every wrong answer and add the weak points to your cards.
Keep the last 7 days free for a fast pass over your cards and marked PYQs only. Do not start new topics in that week.
Tips and common mistakes
Over-annotating notes makes your final revision harder, so keep additions minimal and focused.
One fact per card works better than long paragraphs, because recall stays quick and clear.
Review wrong PYQ and GT answers the same day, while the reasoning is still fresh.
Questions
How many flashcards should I make per subject?
There is no fixed number. Make cards only for points you tend to forget, so the deck stays small enough to review daily.
Can I clear backlogs while also doing daily revision?
Yes. Give most of your time to current topics and a fixed daily slot to backlog cards, then use weekly tests to confirm progress.
Why are flashcards better than rereading notes?
Flashcards force active recall and spaced repetition, which help you remember forgotten points better than passive rereading.
