Grade 9 Exam Planner
Preparation window: 1–17 August 2026
Exams begin: 18 August 2026
Subjects: Science, Social Science, Maths, English, Hindi, Marathi
You are starting from zero, so this plan uses three passes:
Pass 1 — Learn: understand every chapter and make short notes.
Pass 2 — Practise: solve questions, grammar, writing, diagrams, and maps.
Pass 3 — Test: revise from memory and write timed answers.
Do not try to make beautiful, lengthy notes. Your goal is to understand, recall, and practise.
Your daily routine
Monday–Friday: school 7:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.; classes 7:00–9:00 p.m.
If homework takes longer, protect the 5:30–6:30 block by studying the most important part first. Do not sacrifice sleep to study late.
Saturday
If there is school, follow the Monday–Friday routine. If there is no school, use:
8:00–10:00 a.m.: main study block
10:30–12:00 p.m.: second subject
3:00–4:30 p.m.: practice/questions
5:00–6:00 p.m.: homework or backlog
8:00–9:00 p.m.: class
9:30–10:15 p.m.: recall and error review
Sunday: no school and no classes
8:00–10:00 a.m.: Subject 1 — learn/revise
10:30 a.m.–12:00 p.m.: Subject 2 — learn/revise
2:00–4:00 p.m.: Subject 3 — questions and writing practice
5:00–6:00 p.m.: weak-topic repair
8:00–8:45 p.m.: mini-test and correction
Keep at least 1 hour for rest, exercise, or family time.
The study method for every chapter
Use a 45-minute study cycle:
5 minutes: write what you already know.
20 minutes: read the textbook carefully and underline only key ideas.
10 minutes: close the book and write or explain the ideas from memory.
10 minutes: solve questions or practise an example.
For every chapter, finish with one page containing:
5–8 key points
important words and definitions
formulas, dates, names, or rules
diagrams/maps/examples that must be remembered
3 questions you still need to clarify
For languages, spend more time writing answers than rereading lessons.

Rules that will make this work
Keep your phone away during study blocks.
Use one notebook as an error notebook. Write the question, your mistake, and the correct method.
After every topic, close the book and recall it aloud or on paper.
For long answers, use: definition/introduction → 3–5 organised points → example/diagram → concluding line.
If you miss a block, do not restart the whole timetable. Move that topic to the next “weakness repair” block.
Every night, mark each target as done, partly done, or not done. Partly done is useful information—not failure.
Your first action today
Take six sheets of paper, label them with the six subjects, and write the chapter checklist above. Then study Maths Chapter 1 for 45 minutes using the study cycle.
