Admission test preparation: a 60-day plan for DU, GST, medical and engineering

Sixty days is enough to rebuild the basics and practise under time, if you spend them in the right order. A plan by phase, how to split subjects, and where AI helps and where it does not.

The short version

A 60-day admission plan has four phases: days 1–10 to find which basics are weak, days 11–35 to rebuild them one subject at a time with practice after each topic, days 36–52 for timed mock tests and error review, and the last week for recall only. Choose subjects by your target's circular, not by this plan, because syllabus, format and marking differ between DU units, GST universities, medical and engineering tests. Porphy can rebuild a weak topic from its prerequisites, generate MCQs from your own notes and explain a stuck line aloud in Bangla, but it does not know any admission test's question bank.

Admission season compresses everything: a syllabus you half-learned over two years, a test with its own format, and a number of weeks you can count on your fingers. Sixty days is enough for a serious student to make real progress, but only if the first ten are spent finding what is broken rather than starting on page one of everything.

Read the circular first

Syllabus, number of questions, marking and the units or groups differ between DU, the GST cluster, medical and engineering admissions, and they change between years. This plan gives the shape of the sixty days. Take the actual subjects and weights from your target's current circular, not from a blog post, including this one.

Days 1–10: diagnose, do not start

Take one timed paper in the style of your target test, honestly, before you review anything. Mark it, then write down every topic you got wrong or guessed. That list, not the textbook's chapter order, is your plan. Most students find the damage is concentrated in a handful of topics, usually ones that other topics sit on — which is the same pattern described in HSC preparation with AI.

Days 11–35: rebuild, one subject block at a time

Work through the weak-topic list in dependency order: the topic other topics lean on first. For each one, learn it, then immediately test it — close the book and recall, then an MCQ set, then check what you missed. A topic is done when you can do a question on it you have not seen, not when you have read it.

  • Alternate subjects across the day so no single block runs past about 90 minutes.
  • Give your weakest subject the first block, when you are freshest.
  • End every block with a recall pass: five minutes, book closed, write what you remember.
  • Keep one half-day a week empty. It is the slack that makes the plan survive a bad day.

Days 36–52: timed practice and error review

Switch to full papers under time. One paper every two or three days is enough if you spend as long reviewing it as sitting it. Keep an error log with three columns: the question, why you got it wrong (did not know it, knew it but slipped, ran out of time), and the fix. Time pressure is its own skill; the only way to build it is to sit papers in conditions close to the real thing.

Days 53–60: recall only

No new material. Formulas, definitions, the error log, and one calm full paper midweek. Sleep matters more this week than any extra hour.

Where AI helps in the sixty days

  • Rebuilding a weak topic from its prerequisites. Name the topic and Porphy asks what you already know, then builds a course at the depth you pick: 3–4 parts for an overview, 5–7 for a standard course.
  • Explaining a stuck line aloud. Highlight it, and the voice tutor explains it on a whiteboard in Bangla or English, with technical terms left in English.
  • Practice from your own notes. Upload your coaching sheet or notes and generate MCQs from it, then check the questions against the source.
  • Putting everything for one subject in one place. Add your sheets, chapters and notes to a Project and ask across all of them, with answers that point to the page.

Where it does not

Porphy does not know any admission test's question bank, marking scheme or this year's trends, and it cannot replace timed papers. Its practice questions test your material, not the real paper. It also will not build or enforce your timetable — there are no streaks and no reminders. Use it for understanding and practice, and use real past papers for exam technique. For turning the weeks into a daily routine, see the 8-week HSC routine; the same structure scales to sixty days.

Start with your weakest topic

Every new account starts with 2,000 credits free — no card, no subscription, and they never expire. A full researched course runs about 600–1,200 credits, an MCQ set or flashcard deck 10–30, and the voice tutor 20–60 a minute. Free accounts run a lighter pipeline so the credits go further: at most 3 parts per course, with text and tables in place of generated visualizations.

Want this, but for your topic?

Type any subject and Porphy builds the whole course. 2,000 free credits, no card needed.
