The single biggest factor is consistency. Most of my coached students are working full-time, and the ones who succeed all do the same thing: they study in small, daily blocks rather than waiting for the weekend. One to two hours on weekday mornings or evenings, plus a longer review session on Saturday — that’s the rhythm that works. Block your study time on your calendar like a meeting. Use a structured study plan so you’re not deciding “what should I study today?” every time you sit down. Practice MCQs daily, not just at the end. Tell your family what you’re doing because their support is huge. And if you can, get a coach or study partner. Accountability is what separates people who finish from people who quit.
