It accounts for the differences in topic weighting, question formats, and curriculum depth at each stage.

You don’t have to follow it rigidly. The planner sets a recommended pace based on your available hours and exam date, but it’s built to accommodate how real studying actually works. If you want to push through a topic faster, get ahead during a lighter week, or spend extra time on something that isn’t clicking, you can do that.
