Introduction
One of the biggest mistakes Leaving Cert students make is waiting until the mocks—or even April—to start serious revision. A structured Maths study plan can transform stress into confidence.
This guide provides a weekly schedule and shows how to use past papers effectively.
Step 1: Break Down the Curriculum
- Higher Level: calculus, functions, probability, trigonometry.
- Ordinary Level: algebra, geometry, statistics, applied maths basics.
Step 2: Weekly Study Schedule
- Monday: Algebra or functions practice
- Tuesday: Geometry & trigonometry
- Wednesday: Probability & statistics
- Thursday: Applied maths or problem-solving questions
- Friday: Timed past paper section
- Weekend: Review mistakes + short recap session
Step 3: Using Past Papers the Right Way
- Start untimed, focusing on accuracy.
- Review marking schemes carefully—many points are awarded for method.
- Gradually move to timed exam conditions.
- Use mistakes as a learning tool, not a setback.
Step 4: Tracking Progress
- Keep a log of grades on past papers.
- Focus on weak topics first.
- Build exam stamina by doing full-length papers by April.
