GLAT study plan

Collect every official GLAT document you can obtain (registration bulletin, content outline, scoring or score-report guide, sample items) and log what each one does and does not confirm

Build a source-cited domain map spreadsheet with one row per named topic and columns for source, stated weight, and confidence level

Write a one-page known/unknown brief that lists confirmed topics, ambiguous topics, and topics with zero documentation

Sit a timed 40-question mixed diagnostic drawn only from confirmed topics and record per-topic accuracy and time spent

Rank every candidate topic by stated exam weight multiplied by your diagnostic error rate to create a study order

Confirm or eliminate at least three ambiguous topics by checking a second independent official source for each

Draft a one-page formula and definition sheet for the topics ranked highest in the study order

Schedule fixed weekly study blocks on your calendar and lock in the 6-hour weekly commitment

Work through the top-ranked topic block using a single primary reference, writing summary notes in your own words

Solve 50 practice items on that block untimed and log every miss with its cause category

Rework all missed items from memory before checking the answer key

Teach the two hardest concepts aloud in under five minutes each without notes

Cover the second-ranked topic block to the same depth as week 3

Re-sit the week 1 diagnostic and compare per-topic accuracy against the baseline

Convert every recurring error category into a specific corrective drill

Update the domain map to mark any topic that has now been upgraded from unverified to confirmed

Shift practice to application-level items that require multi-step reasoning rather than recall

Complete two 25-question sets under a soft time limit and record per-question timing

Identify the three slowest question types and write a decision shortcut for each

Rebuild the formula and definition sheet from memory and diff it against the original

Run three timed 30-question mixed sets under full exam conditions with no interruptions

Split every miss into content gaps, misreading, and time pressure, and quantify each category

Re-study only the content-gap items, ignoring everything already answered correctly

Practise the pacing plan on two passages or item clusters, including an explicit skip-and-return rule

Complete two full-length mock exams on separate days with strict timing and no aids

Score each mock with the same rubric used on the real exam and log the raw score

Rewrite the ten most-missed concepts as single-line flashcards and review them daily

Fix the two lowest-scoring subtopics with targeted drills before the second mock

Taper to short daily review blocks and stop introducing new material after day four

Re-read the formula and definition sheet once per day and recite it from memory on day five

Take one final half-length mock to confirm pacing and confirm your score is stable

Confirm exam-day logistics: location or platform, identification, permitted materials, and arrival time
