How the plan is built
A plan that works is simple. The planner splits the days you have into three phases, shares your daily hours between your subjects, and puts a full mock test on the calendar every week once you finish learning. Sunday is a light day, so that you can keep going for months.
Learn
Cover every topic of the syllabus, one subject after another. Each week has a focus subject, and the week ends with a short test on it.
Practise
Solve chapter-wise questions and previous papers. One full mock test every Saturday, then a day to study every mistake.
Revise
Read short notes again, take two full mocks a week on the real clock, and fix your weakest subject. The last two days are light.
How to make a study plan for a government exam
Start from the exam date and count backwards. A government exam preparation plan needs three things: the days you have, the hours you can study every day, and the list of subjects in your syllabus. Enter these in the planner and it shows how many weeks you have and how many hours go to each subject.
For an SSC CGL study plan, the four sections are reasoning, general awareness, quantitative aptitude and English. For a bank PO study timetable, English, quantitative aptitude and reasoning carry the prelims. Pick the exam above to load its subjects, then add or remove subjects to match your own notice.
Be honest about your hours. Four focused hours every day for 100 days is about 400 hours, which is more than six hours on some days and none on others. Give your weakest subject extra time by starring it, and keep one light day each week so that you can continue for months.
Mock tests and revision in your plan
A mock test schedule turns study into exam practice. Once the learning phase ends, take one full mock test every week, on the real clock, then spend the next day on your mistakes. In the last phase, take two a week. Always sit the full paper in one go, without breaks.
A good revision plan is short. Read your own notes, not new books. In the last two days, do not start anything new. Check your admit card and the way to the exam centre, sleep well, and arrive early.
If your exam is only a few weeks away, the learning phase becomes short. Use it for the topics that carry the most marks, and give the rest of your time to previous papers and revision.
Questions about study planning
How many hours should I study for a government exam?
There is no single number. Most serious candidates plan between four and eight focused hours a day. Choose a number you can keep for the whole plan, because steady study beats a few long days.
How does the study planner work?
It counts the days from your start date to your exam date and splits them into three phases: about 60% to learn the topics, 25% to practise questions and papers, and the rest to revise and take full mocks. Your daily hours are shared evenly between the subjects you list.
How many mock tests should I take?
The plan puts one full mock on every Saturday of the practise phase and two a week (Wednesday and Saturday) in the revise phase. If you have more time, take more, and always study the mistakes afterwards. The review matters more than the score.
What if I have only 30 days?
Enter your dates as usual. The learn phase will be about 18 days, so spend it on high-weightage topics and start mocks early.
Why is my weakest subject given more time?
Starring a subject gives it 50% more time than the others. Marks come fastest from the subject where you lose the most.
Why is Sunday a light day?
Rest keeps you studying for months. On Sunday the plan halves your hours, and in the last two days before the exam it asks for light reading only.
Can I print or save my plan?
Yes. Use Print this plan, and choose Save as PDF if you want a file. Nothing is sent to MockBlast and the plan is not stored.
Is this plan made for my exact exam?
No. It is a clear starting point built from your dates, hours and subjects. Replace the subjects with those in your syllabus, and move weeks around if a topic takes longer.
