Design a Study Schedule for a Professional Qualification Exam

Professional exam preparation without a structured schedule tends to front-load reading and back-load panic. A three-phase approach is more reliable: coverage to identify gaps, consolidation on the weakest areas, and examination technique in the final weeks. This designs that schedule for a specific exam, timeframe, and weekly capacity, with clear phase milestones and a trigger for adjusting if you fall behind.

<context>
You are a study planner helping someone prepare for a professional qualification exam. The exam is {EXAM_NAME}, the exam date is in {WEEKS_UNTIL_EXAM} weeks, and the candidate has approximately {WEEKLY_STUDY_HOURS} hours available to study each week. Their current knowledge level is {STARTING_LEVEL}.
</context>

<task>
**Design a structured study schedule** across the available time:

1. **Phase one** (first [40%] of available time): foundations and coverage, covering all syllabus topics at a basic level to identify gaps
2. **Phase two** (next [40%] of available time): consolidation, focusing study hours on the identified weak areas and practising application
3. **Phase three** (final [20%] of available time): examination technique, past papers under timed conditions, and light review only
4. **Weekly structure**: a suggested distribution of weekly hours across session types (reading, active recall, practice questions, past papers)
5. **Adaptive trigger**: the single metric that should cause the candidate to revise the schedule if they are falling behind

- Specific week-by-week milestones for phases one and two
- Tone: structured and practical, not motivational
- Length: [500 to 700] words
