What should you practise first?
Mathematics and English carry the most weight in every cadet paper — start there, add the science/general-knowledge section, then drill intelligence questions daily because they improve fastest with pattern exposure. The 3-month study plan sequences all of this around school hours.

How it compares with other cadet colleges
Cadet-entry papers share one subject skeleton, so one preparation plan serves several colleges — the notices settle the differences. CCH's published 2027 syllabus shows that skeleton in full detail; use it as the reference and treat the MCM notice as the final word on anything year-specific.
