How to Use This Plan
- Start 30 days before your exam.
- Each day has a chapter focus + revision task.
- Mark off each day as you complete it.
- Solve the corresponding unit test on Day 15 and Day 30.

Final 2 Days (Days 29–30)
| Day | Activity |
|---|---|
| 29 | Solve Volume 2 Unit Test + review wrong answers |
| 30 | Full model paper (70 marks, 3 hours); then review answer key |
Daily Revision Habits
- Spend 15 minutes every morning revising yesterday's topic.
- Keep a "Mistakes Book" — note every wrong answer and the correct one.
- Draw at least one diagram per day (nephron, cardiac cycle, chloroplast, etc.).
NEET Note
If you are also preparing for NEET, supplement each Samacheer chapter with the corresponding NCERT chapter on the same day. NEET questions are NCERT-based but Samacheer covers the same concepts.
Frequently Asked Questions
For the last 30 days, aim for 2–3 hours of Biology per day if you are studying all subjects. If only Biology is pending, 4–5 hours/day is sufficient to cover everything.
