Onece per year : Generally, one should have an exam every year. This does not necessarily mean a pap smear is required. In the us we are doing paps every three years now between the age of 21 and 65. The clinical breast exam should be performed every year probably after the age of 25 or 30. And of course symptomatically, one should present with any abnormal changes.

Every year: A pap smear is recommended on yearly basis. You are also in the age group (under 26 y/o) that should receive the papilloma virus immunization. Make sure you are checked regularly! Thank you for asking this good question.
