A 6-week study plan for a 200-point increase
Week 1: Get your baseline
Take a full-length diagnostic test under real timing conditions before you study anything. This is the single most important step — it tells you which section (Reading & Writing or Math) needs more of your time, and which specific skills inside that section are weakest. Skipping this step means guessing at what to study.
Weeks 2–3: Drill your weak areas
Use the question bank filtered by your weakest skills from the diagnostic. Work in focused sessions of 15–20 questions per skill rather than random mixed sets — you learn faster when you're reinforcing one pattern at a time. After every session, review every missed question and write one sentence explaining why the correct answer is right, not just what it is.
Week 4: First full-length checkpoint
Take a second full-length practice test, timed exactly like test day. Compare the section and skill breakdown against your Week 1 diagnostic. You should see clear movement in the areas you drilled — if you don't, that's a signal to change how you're studying that skill, not just do more of the same.
Week 5: Close the remaining gaps
Go back to the question bank, but this time split your time between your still-weak skills and a light review of everything else, so earlier gains don't slip. This is also the week to tighten pacing — practice specific modules under a stricter clock if you're consistently running out of time.
Week 6: Taper and simulate test day
Take one final full-length practice test in the first half of the week, then taper down: shorter review sessions, no new material, and one or two nights of just skimming explanations for questions you got wrong earlier in the plan. Go into test day rested, not freshly drilled.
