Week 1 — frameworks before facts

Collect the core frameworks for each paper: SWOT, Porter, 4Ps, ratio analysis, cost sheets. MBA answers score on applied structure, so knowing when to reach for which framework matters more than remembering definitions.

Weeks 2 and 3 — one case a day

Solve a short case per subject daily and write the answer in exam format: situation, analysis, recommendation, risk. Twenty cases in two weeks builds the reflex you need under time pressure.

Week 4 — numericals and revision

Finance, operations and statistics carry predictable numerical marks. Drill them daily in the last week and keep one page of formulas for the exam morning.
