What routine helped you turn reading and class notes into actual exam preparation? Share a method that worked for you, not a claim that it is the only right approach.

My best routine is converting each week's reading into a one-page outline, then testing myself with practice questions on the weekend — it's the same habit that got me through my board exams back in Pakistan, where I kept refreshing the 11th class result page all summer. Timed self-testing beats passive re-reading every time for me. I also keep a running list of the rules I keep missing and review just that in the final week.
