The Last 30 Days Before TNPSC: A Revision Plan That Works
The last month is for converting what you know into marks, not learning what you don't. The rule: no new topics after day 30.
- Step 1Week 1: full syllabus sweepOne fast pass over every unit from your own notes and error log, seven days, breadth over depth, flagging the weak spots for week two.
- Step 2Week 2: weak units + alternate-day mocksDeep repair on your three weakest units, with a full timed mock every other day and same-day error review.
- Step 3Week 3: high-weightage second passTamil test units, TN history, economy and polity again, the 70% of marks, plus two mocks. Scheme table and current affairs get their final update.
- Step 4Week 4: taperLight revision of flagged items, one last mock five days out, then rest, hall-ticket checks and exam-day logistics. Fresh beats crammed on the final morning.
