1. Prep Smarter, Not Longer
1.1 Active Recall - Your Brain's Gym
Challenge your mind. After every lecture or reading, close your notes and write what you remember.
Quizzing yourself strengthens neural links and reveals what you actually know.
1.2 Spaced Repetition - The Retention Engine
Review old material before it fades. Tools like Anki or Quizlet make this effortless - five minutes daily
beats one long weekend cram.
1.3 The Focus Framework
Use the 45-15 rule: study 45 minutes, rest 15. Cut distractions ruthlessly. Every focused block
compounds your results.
1.4 Learn Visually

Turn concepts into flowcharts, graphs, or color-coded summaries. Visualization builds understanding
faster than pure reading.
2. Strategic Exam Tactics
ATI / Nursing Exams
Think in priorities: safety, ABCs (Airway, Breathing, Circulation). Focus on why each answer choice
is right or wrong. Time yourself - confidence grows with rhythm, not speed.
AP / Standardized Tests
Read the question stem twice before solving. Circle what is given and underline what is asked.
Practice mixed problem sets (chemistry + physics crossover).
Engineering / Technical Exams
Always write units next to every number. Build a 'formula flow' sheet: identify when to use PV = nRT,
W = PdV, or dG = dH - TdS. Do not memorize - understand the derivation.
Biochemistry / Medical Exams
Trace reactions like stories - input -> transformation -> output. Use delta G values to predict
direction of reactions. Connect each concept back to physiology: how cells use that energy.
3. The 30-60-90 Day Growth Plan
Phase 1: Build the Base (Days 1-30)
Organize notes, flashcards, and formulas. Set 3 measurable goals - one per subject or section.
Begin light testing sessions to benchmark performance.
Phase 2: Apply & Adapt (Days 31-60)
Solve tougher, multi-step problems. Analyze every error: was it knowledge, carelessness, or
pacing? Re-teach concepts to peers or through voice notes - teaching = mastery.
Phase 3: Perform & Refine (Days 61-90)
Simulate full exam sessions under real timing. Shift focus to review + endurance. End each week

with reflection: What improved? What needs sharpening?
4. Power-Up Study Tips
- Sleep fuels memory - aim for 7-8 hours.
- Hydrate early, caffeinate later - keep energy stable.
- Study in zones - create subject-based playlists or areas.
- Use progress trackers - watch improvement, not perfection.
- Reward milestones - consistency deserves celebration.
5. Final Words of Motivation
Growth does not happen overnight - it is built, brick by brick, through practice, patience, and
mindset. At PrepPool, we are proud to be part of your journey from preparation to performance.
