Understand the concept
Check prerequisites, read the explanation and work through the teaching example before checking its result.
Apply it to PYQs
Attempt related questions, record your reasoning and diagnose each mistake before revealing the answer.
Revisit and check
Use the revision checklist, return to difficult questions after a few days and try an unfamiliar problem.
Keep your preparation connected
The examples teach methods and are not presented as official solutions to past papers. Check source references and your complete syllabus as you study.
