Tracking your progress — Exam preparation tips

Tracking shows how far you have come and what is left. If your target is 80 pages and you have read 60, you have done 60 ÷ 80 × 100 = 75% — and 20 pages are left. Check once a week, compare with your own target (not with friends) and adjust the plan if you are behind.

Study tip

Count, compare, adjust — “see how far you have come and what is left”

  1. Percentage done = done ÷ target × 100. Still needed = target − done.
  2. Good tracking: a weekly check-in, a tick chart or habit tracker, noting what worked, comparing with last week.
  3. Poor tracking: never checking, guessing at month end, comparing with others, hiding the bad weeks.

Use it for: Monthly reading and practice targets, revision plans, fitness and habit goals.

Worked example: 📈 Diya plans to read 120 pages this month and has done 30 so far. What percentage of the target is done? → 25

  1. Percentage done = 30 ÷ 120 × 100.
  2. 30 out of 120 is 25%.

Check: Try it: make a tick chart for one goal this week and work out your percentage on Sunday ✓
