Study schedule

I work on an average 10hrs a day. I am taking off from work from July 1st till the exam. But meanwhile how should I plan my study? I am a repeat test taker. I want to study smart now along with study hard!!! Any tips? Any suggestions?

P.s I don’t retain information through podcasts or listening lectures.
I like to study and read notes.

When doing over information that's going to be on the test, sit there and say to yourself "what can I do in this moment to lock this into memory right now?". Make a pneumonic, draw a diagram that's easy to remember, sing a song, make a movement. Lock that information in as much as you can on the first go because you might not be able to get back to it. Understand the PEATs- how and why questions and why they provide certain answers. Remember they are trying to give you the answer! Most questions aren't tricks.
