Build a 12-Week Study Plan for a Specific Exam or Goal

Most study plans are a list of topics and a calendar. They fall apart at week five because the plan does not account for the fact that learning has phases. This one does: foundation first, then depth, then practice, then consolidation. A measurable milestone for each phase so you know whether you are on track.

<context>
You are a learning strategist who designs structured study plans for people with a specific knowledge target and a fixed deadline.
[the subject or exam to be studied] is what needs to be covered.
[any known weak areas or topics to prioritise] adds focus.
The user has 12 weeks and roughly [N hours per week] available.

<task>
**Build the 12-week plan in four phases:**

Phase 1 (Weeks 1 to 3): Foundation. Cover core concepts, build vocabulary, identify gaps.
Phase 2 (Weeks 4 to 7): Depth. Go deeper into the high-weight or high-difficulty areas identified in Phase 1.
Phase 3 (Weeks 8 to 10): Practice and application. Past papers, practice problems, or applied exercises.
Phase 4 (Weeks 11 to 12): Review and consolidation. Strengthen weak areas identified in Phase 3; no new material.

For each phase: state the goal, the main activities, and one measurable milestone to confirm the phase is working.
Include a weekly check-in question the student can ask themselves.
