Hindi kailangan araw-araw all-out. Ang kailangan ay clear priorities, realistic review blocks, and enough recovery para consistent ka hanggang final stretch.
Start with a weekly board-exam map
Burnout usually starts when everything feels urgent. Instead of opening random notes, divide your week by subject blocks: Criminal Law, Law Enforcement, Criminalistics, Crime Detection, Correctional Administration, and Sociology of Crimes.
Give more time to weak areas, but keep every subject visible. Kahit 30 minutes lang for maintenance, mas okay kaysa mawala completely sa rotation.
- Pick 2 priority subjects per week.
- Schedule lighter recall blocks for subjects you already know.
- Reserve one day for mock questions and rationalization.
Use focused review blocks, not marathon sessions
Long study hours look impressive, pero kung passive reading lang, madaling mapagod at konti ang retention. Use 45 to 60 minute blocks with one clear goal per block.
Example: one block for 30 Criminal Law recall questions, one block for checking rationales, and one block for rewriting missed concepts in your own words.
- One goal per block.
- Short break after every block.
- Stop the block with a short summary of what you learned.
Protect sleep and recovery like part of the review
Your memory consolidates while resting. Kung lagi kang puyat, bumabagal recall kahit mahaba ang study time mo.
Set a non-negotiable cutoff time for heavy studying. Use the final 15 minutes of the day for light recall or planning tomorrow, not another stressful deep dive.
- Avoid starting difficult topics right before sleep.
- Keep one low-pressure recovery block each week.
- Track energy, not just hours studied.
