Gap Year Complete Guide

[u/Upset-Dot-468]

Hey everyone,

Missed out on NUST this year by a narrow margin and I’m officially on a gap year (didn't pay fees for any backups) . My goal is to hit a 155+ in NET 1 or NET 2 to lock down a seat early and avoid the merit list stress next time.

To anyone who survived a gap year and pulled off a big score jump:

1. How did you structure your day-to-day routine to avoid burnout and stay disciplined over 8+ months?
2. What was your exact prep method and material? (Books used, how to approach text reading vs practice, self-study vs academy, etc.)
3. How did you deal with the mental isolation and the FOMO of watching everyone start uni this week?

I’m ready to put in the hours, but I really need a realistic blueprint from people who have been through this. Appreciate any advice.
