No, there is no fixed rule. One should begin with the subject they feel most comfortable with. It builds confidence while ensuring equal attention to all three subjects.

I prioritised revision and mock tests over reading new concepts. I maintain an error book as it helps me identify and eliminate repeated mistakes.
