CS Professional June 2026 | Last 90 Days Planning | What To Do? What Not To Do?

The last 90 days prior to the exam are not just another period in your exam journey but are perhaps the most important period that can shape your results and even your career. In an in-depth video session, HK Sir (AIR-2) discussed an important topic with a practical and realistic approach to utilizing these 90 days in an effective manner. In this blog, we shall attempt to encapsulate his valuable insights into a step-by-step strategy to ensure you make the most out of these 90 days.

Importance of Last 90 Days

The countdown to the exam begins whether you are prepared or not. The last 90 days are very important because they are not for learning new things but revising and refining what you already know.

According to HK Sir, to succeed in the CS Professional exam, particularly if you are attempting both groups or are targeting a rank in the exam, planning is the key to success. You cannot afford to wait for “flow” to take place.

What is the Ideal Study Plan for Last 90 Days?

1. Focus on Minimum Three Revisions

The Golden Rule: Do at least 3 revisions before the exam.

Ways to accomplish this task is as follows:

Stage 1 (Foundation Stage):

• Revisions will take a long time to complete – but they help create clarity and strengthen your understanding of the various subjects.

• You should allocate specifically days to each subject (example): 

 – ESG – 5 

 – Drafting – 5 

 – CMADD – 5 

 – CSR and SG – 2 

 – CRVI – 5 

 – CFSFM – 5 

 – IBC – 2 

This stage should ideally be completed within 30 days of beginning your course, even if all of the lectures have not been completed. Make sure to start revising right away.

Key Insight: Don’t wait until the completion of your course to start revising; start now.

Stage 2 (Speed & Retention Stage):

The second stage of revisions should take approximately 20-25 days to finish:

• You will also have less time to complete your revisions for each of the subjects during this stage. 

• This stage will focus on retention more so than on re-learning.

Example: 

 – ESG – 4 

 – Drafting – 3.5 

Your ability to learn and understand the material will continue to increase during this stage.

Stage 3 (Final Consolidation):

This stage of your course will consist of approximately 15-20 days of revisions. 

You will also have less time to complete your revisions for each subject during this stage. 

This stage will focus on reviewing areas where you feel that you have weaknesses, along with the important topics of your course.

Final Stage (Prior to Exam): 

This stage of revisions will have you allocate the most time to the first exam in your course (ESG). 

Example: ESG – 3.5 

Plan out how you would like to have completed your revisions based on your exams’ order.

Smart Tip: Complete the revision of your weakest subject right before your final revision phase begins. This will help to ensure that it will still be fresh in your mind when you sit down to take the exam.

Make a Calendar-Based Plan

Begin by making a 90-Day Calendar-Based Plan. You should base each of your goals on a subject matter. Be sure to include plenty of buffer days in case of minor disruptions. Even if the plan doesn’t work out perfectly, you will have established direction and control.

What You Should Do in These 90 Days?

1. Take Care of Your Health

Studying 12–14 hours a day is okay, but not taking care of health is not.

• Spend 15-20 minutes daily in exercising 
• Exercise includes:
  • Pranayama 
  • Meditation 
  • Surya Namaskar 

2. Eliminate Unnecessary Distractions

These 90 days are going to shape your career.

• Stop using unnecessary apps like:
  • Instagram 
  • Snapchat 
• Only use necessary apps like:
  • YouTube (for study) 
  • WhatsApp (limited usage) 

You may feel like using social media in the beginning, but after 15-20 days, you will be in a routine.

3. Maintain a Balanced Routine

• Study effectively (quality matters more than hours) 

• Short breaks 

• Some relaxation time if required 

Consistency is more important than burning out.

What You Should Avoid?

1. Comparing Yourself with Others

This is probably one of the most common mistakes students make.

• “He has completed lectures, I haven’t.” 

• “She has scored higher in tests.” 

• And so on. 

What to do? 

Reality: Your journey is unique. Your results depend only on you. 

2. Eating Unhealthy Food

Try to avoid junk food during these 90 days. 

• Street food like momos, pani puri, etc. 

• Sweets, especially during the daytime. 

Why? 

• A minor health issue might cost you 3-4 days. 

• And that might affect your entire cycle. 

3. Overthinking About Results

One of the most powerful lessons shared:

You do not control results. You only control your effort. 

• Thinking about results will only make you anxious. 

• Focusing on your effort will make you confident. 

Write this somewhere on your study desk or on a wall nearby. 

“My job is to give 100% effort. Results are not in my control.”

How to Stay Motivated?

Motivation does not come from outside; it comes from inside.

Ask yourself one question:

Do you want an ordinary life or an extraordinary life?

If you want an extraordinary life, then your efforts should be extraordinary.

Practical Motivation Techniques:

• You should keep your parents’ photo near your study desk.

• You should listen to motivational songs occasionally.

• You should remind yourself of your goals.

Dealing with Anxiety and Pressure

Feeling anxious is normal. Every student faces this situation.

Common thoughts:

• “Am I studying enough?”

• “What will happen in the exam?”

Instead of fighting anxiety, you should understand that:

• Every student is equal in terms of ability to put in efforts.

• You can only control efforts.

• You should focus on:

• Daily targets.

• Revision completion.

• Consistency.

Forget everything else.
