【DSE 2027 Incoming】Final Month & Final Week: Subject Study Time Breakdown
With DSE 2027 approaching, smart time allocation turns chaos into Level 5** scores. Tailor to your 6-7 subjects, prioritizing weak ones early and exam-order later — aim 6-8 hrs/day, with breaks.
Focus 70% past papers/review, 30% weak topics. Cycle subjects in 5-day loops (4 study days + 1 rest) to avoid burnout — e.g., Day 2: Chin+Eng+Econ; Day 3: Eng+LS+Math.
Daily: 3 subjects (~3 hrs each), mix 2 arts + 1 STEM or vice versa. Flex for exam dates — more time on early tests (e.g., Chinese first).
PhaseCore FocusSample Daily Split (6-8 hrs)
Weeks 3-4
Weak topics + notes
Math/STEM: 3 hrs PP; Arts (Eng/Chin): 2.5 hrs essays/LS; Electives: 2 hrs
Weeks 1-2
Full timed PPs + error logs
2 full papers/subject; review 2-3 hrs. Alternate heavy/light days.
List idle times (commute, lunch) for flashcards/misc — frees evenings. Sleep 7-8 hrs; no all-nighters.
Concentrate fire: Heavy on first-exam subjects (e.g., 8 hrs Chinese if it leads). Light review for later ones — no new content.
Simulate exam conditions: Timed mocks, match sleep/wake to test slots.
