Tracking
Track accuracy by skill, not just total score. Skill accuracy tells you what to do next.
How to turn this plan into practice
A study plan only works if each block turns into a question set, a timed module, or a review session. Keep the schedule narrow enough that you can finish the work and review it.
- Start each week with one target skill in Math and one in Reading and Writing.
- Use timed modules to test whether skill drills transfer under pressure.
- Review misses before adding more new questions.
How to know whether the plan is working
Do not judge a study plan by hours logged. Judge it by whether your miss pattern changes after each week.
- Track misses by skill, not just by section score.
- Repeat missed questions 48 hours later before adding more new drills.
- Use one timed module each week as the transfer test.
- If the same mistake appears twice, make the next drill narrower.
