Specific Focuses Depending on the Study Plan Phase

  • 30-Day Plan: Concentrate on intensive review and mastery of content. Check-ins should focus heavily on managing stress and optimizing short-term memory retention techniques.

  • 60-Day Plan: Balance between mastering content and beginning to apply knowledge through practice tests. Check-ins should focus on refining study techniques and ensuring a deep understanding of the material.

  • 90-Day Plan: Early weeks focus on building a comprehensive understanding, middle weeks on applying this knowledge, and final weeks on review and psychological preparation. Check-ins gradually transition from understanding and application to review and maintaining calm.

This check-in outline ensures that mentoring sessions are structured to provide continuous support, track progress, adjust strategies, and maintain morale, which are crucial for the success of individuals preparing for high-stakes exams.
