    Week 1: Baseline

    Day 1: Full diagnostic. Days 2–7: review every miss, study one skill per day, drill 30 minutes on each.

    Weeks 2–3: Targeted Skill Work

    Rotate through your top eight weakest skills. Every fourth day, do one timed module in your weakest section.

    Week 4: Simulate

    Two full-length practice tests with a review day after each. Then taper for test day — light review, no new content.

    What to do after reading this

    1. Choose one strategy from the article and test it on a timed module.
    2. Mark whether the strategy saved time, improved accuracy, or only felt easier.
    3. Keep the strategy only if it improves the review data, not just confidence.

    Mistakes to avoid

    • Trying three new tactics in the same module.
    • Changing strategy after one hard question instead of after a full review.
    • Ignoring easy misses because the hard questions feel more interesting.
