The best way to create a study schedule for IPHO mechanics is to start by reviewing the syllabus and identifying the topics that will be covered on the exam. Then, break down those topics into smaller, manageable chunks and assign specific study times for each one. It is also important to prioritize the topics that you struggle with the most and allocate more study time for those.
The amount of time you should dedicate to studying mechanics for IPHO will vary depending on your current level of understanding and the amount of time you have until the exam. Generally, it is recommended to spend at least 2-3 hours per day studying mechanics, with more time allocated closer to the exam date.
Both practicing problems and reviewing theory are important for studying mechanics for IPHO. It is recommended to have a balance between the two, as practicing problems helps reinforce your understanding of the theory and identify any weak areas that need more review.
This ultimately depends on your personal learning style. Some people may benefit from studying alone, while others may find it helpful to study with a group and discuss the material. It is important to find what works best for you and stick to it.
If you are short on time, it is important to prioritize the topics that are most heavily weighted on the exam and focus on those. It may also be helpful to review past exams and focus on the types of questions that are commonly asked. Additionally, try to find ways to study efficiently, such as using flashcards or summarizing key concepts.
