How to work through the ROTC Scholarship / Selection (Reserve Officers' Training Corps) syllabus
The outline on this page is arranged the way the syllabus itself is: subject, then chapter, then topic, then sub-topic. That last level is what most study plans skip, and it is where coverage actually goes wrong — a chapter marked "done" often has three sub-topics inside it that were never touched.
Weight your plan accordingly: ROTC Program Foundations and Eligibility carries 16 topics while Physical Fitness and Medical Qualification carries 12. Giving both the same number of weeks is the most common planning mistake for ROTC Scholarship / Selection (Reserve Officers' Training Corps).
The ~95 hour estimate above is a first pass only: roughly 45 minutes per topic plus 12 minutes per sub-topic. Revision cycles, past papers and mocks sit on top of that number.
