Study strategy
Use a weakness-first plan.
1. Establish a baseline
Use a diagnostic or mixed practice set to identify where errors cluster.
2. Learn the concept
Review the method behind the miss before doing another batch of questions.
3. Practice deliberately
Train accuracy first. Then add time pressure and mixed-question practice.
