- Syllabus mapping
- The process of aligning study topics with the official exam syllabus so that every tested area receives coverage and untested areas are deprioritized.
- Spaced repetition
- A learning technique in which review sessions are scheduled at increasing intervals, such as 1, 3, 7, and 21 days, to strengthen long-term retention.
- Active recall
- Retrieving information from memory without looking at notes, which strengthens memory more effectively than passive rereading or highlighting.
- Concept map
- A diagram linking related ideas with labeled connections, used to organize definitions, formulas, and applications within a subject field.
- Procedural knowledge
- Knowing how to perform a task or solve a problem step by step, as opposed to merely knowing facts about a topic.
- Error log
- A record of mistakes categorized by topic, used to identify recurring weaknesses and direct further study toward high-error areas.
- Valid syllogism
- A deductive argument whose conclusion follows necessarily from its premises, regardless of whether the premises are factually true.
- Letter position coding
- Assigning numbers to letters (A=1 through Z=26) to decode patterns in coding-decoding questions involving shifts or reversals.
- Necessary assumption
- An unstated premise required for an argument to hold; if negating it destroys the argument, it is a necessary assumption.
- Blood relation tree
- A sketch showing family members with gender and generation markers, used to answer relationship questions accurately without guessing.
- Number series strategy
- A checking order for series questions: differences first, then ratios, squares or cubes, alternating patterns, and prime sequences.
- Direction sense displacement
- The straight-line distance from start to end after a path of turns, computed with the Pythagorean theorem for right-angle turns.
- Odd-one-out classification
- Selecting the item that lacks a shared property such as category, parity, letter position, or syllable count held by the others.
- Subject-verb agreement
- The grammatical rule that a singular subject takes a singular verb and a plural subject takes a plural verb, ignoring intervening phrases.
- Ezafe construction
- A Dari grammatical linking particle connecting a noun to a following modifier, such as an adjective or possessor, pronounced as a short vowel.

- Average speed formula
- For equal distances traveled at speeds x and y, average speed equals 2xy divided by x plus y.
- Compound interest formula
- Compound interest equals principal times (1 plus rate over 100) raised to the time period, minus the principal.
- Combination formula
- nCr equals n factorial divided by r factorial times (n minus r) factorial, used when selection order does not matter.
- Circle area and circumference
- Area of a circle is pi times radius squared; circumference is two times pi times radius.
- Ratio cross-multiplication
- If a to b equals c to d, then a times d equals b times c, allowing an unknown term to be solved.
