thats the way the syllabus suggests
exam cram t20 is helpful but limited on paper 2
if to cover syllabus this is my outline but let me tell you it is just study and its like a story except for facts and figures
i think at a good speed and provided you do not have to search for material it will take 8 days

Aslam o Alaikum,


Brother You have mentioned the entire syllabus not the important questions!!! For example Von Thunan Model is not important.... Just consult the past papers and you will rarely find any such paper in which a complete question was asked on this topic.... Similarly If you prepare a simple assignment on the topic Urbanisation, it will help you to prepare settlements as well so you don't have to prepare those insignificant topics in detail....

A simple advice is to avoid digression and consolidate your focus!!!

Regards,

yeah right that is an outline. but you never go for important questions only during the initial studying phase.
