02Weight Tamil Nadu news double
TN schemes, budget lines, GI tags and state appointments feed the two 20-question units directly, national headlines matter less than Chennai's.
03Consolidate monthly
A monthly review pass of the same content converts recognition into recall. Monthly compilations exist for exactly this.
