Not a miracle method: a simple plan, working back from the exam date, that you can follow even in bad weeks.
Put the exam date in your calendar and count the weeks you have. Then take away the last one: it's for review and for practising like in the exam. What's left is the time to go through the syllabus the first time.
To see how many hours you need each week there's how many hours to study for an exam: enter the date and the hours, and see whether they fit in the days you have.
A whole chapter is too big for one hour. Split the syllabus into pieces that fit in one session: a section with its exercises, a proof, a case. Write them in a list, in order: each session crosses one off, and the list always tells you where to pick up.
Instead of "I'll study all afternoon", set 25 or 50 minute sessions at precise times, with a break in between. A set time shows up in your calendar and can be moved; a whole afternoon can't.
On WeFocusBuddy every session has a time and, if someone books the same one, a person studying with you. If you're at university, when there is one we pair you first with other university students.
No new topics. A light review of your notes, your bag ready, the time and room checked. And go to bed at a normal hour.
Studying next to someone: the online study room for university students and how studying with others online works.
It depends on the credits and on how new the subject is to you. With "how many hours to study for an exam" you can work it out from the date.
It depends on you. Many people study better when someone is waiting for them at a set time, others prefer being alone: you can try with one session.
Yes, even back to back: you'll find them all in your calendar.
