Create:

1. Topic breakdown: Split the subject into 10-15 individual learning chunks, ordered from foundational to advanced

2. Spaced repetition schedule:
   - Day-by-day calendar showing which topics to learn (new) and which to review
   - Review intervals: Day 1 (learn), Day 2 (first review), Day 4 (second review), Day 7 (third review), Day 14 (fourth review)
   - Table format I can print and check off

3. For each topic, provide:
   - 3-5 active recall questions (test yourself, do not just re-read)
   - One real-world application or example to make it stick
   - A one-sentence summary to use as a flashcard front/back

4. Self-testing protocol:
   - How to quiz yourself effectively
   - What to do when you get a question wrong (go back to which review interval)
   - Signs you have truly mastered a topic vs. just recognizing the answer

5. Study session structure (for each daily session):
   - 5 minutes: Review yesterday's active recall questions
   - Main block: Learn new material using the Feynman technique (explain it simply)
   - 10 minutes: Create flashcards for what you just learned
   - 5 minutes: Preview tomorrow's topic

6. Emergency cramming plan: If I fall behind, which topics to prioritize based on exam weight
