Why coverage and learning sessions?
Coverage sessions keep you moving through the planned topic packs, while the learning sessions follow the forgetting curve by spacing exam-style practice just when those concepts start to fade. That kind of spaced learning keeps the same ideas exam-ready instead of fading between mocks.
Pairing coverage work with deliberate learning reviews means you explore new material before reinforcing it through recall, which is the most effective cycle before assessments.

Plan your session
Choose a focus and a realistic time box.
Focus modes: what changes in your session
Pulls in items that are overdue or due soon first (about the next 48 hours), so you stay on top of spaced repetition.
Interleaves question types and concepts across the pack to improve discrimination and switching between ideas (best default).
Heavily favours application-heavy prompts (scenarios, examples and relationships) so you practise writing exam-style answers.
Tip: Use Due now if you have overdue reviews, Mixed for everyday exam question practice, and Exam practice near mocks/exams.
Difficulty mix: how the balance changes
Mixes recall and application prompts so you build fluency and exam-ready writing.
Prioritises definitions, key facts, and mark points to lock in foundations.
Emphasises scenarios and relationships so you practise explaining and justifying.
Tip: Use Balanced most days, switch to More core recall when shaky, and More application before mocks.
Adds desirable difficulty to strengthen long-term retention.
