DE POST study plan

Diagnose baseline accuracy and speed by completing one timed 20-question arithmetic set (percentages, ratios, fractions) and logging per-question time

Drill multiplication tables, percentage-to-decimal conversion, and fraction simplification until 40 items are answered in under 8 minutes with 90% accuracy

Set up an error log template that records question type, mistake cause, and correction rule for every wrong answer

Practice 15 parcel-weight and postage-rate word problems under a 1-minute-per-question limit

Solve 60 multi-step word problems involving unit prices, discounts, and change calculation, keeping a running average of seconds per question

Memorize and apply the core formulas for speed, distance, time, average, and simple proportion, then test them on 20 mixed items

Complete three 10-minute accuracy sprints comparing near-identical numbers (for example 3,480 vs 3,840) and record the miss rate

Rewrite every logged error from week 1 as a one-line rule you can apply automatically

Read four short non-fiction passages and answer main-idea and inference questions, marking the exact sentence in the text that supports each answer

Build a 30-item vocabulary list of words common in workplace and logistics texts, and use each in an original sentence

Paraphrase five customer-complaint emails in both German and English, keeping the meaning and tone intact

Practice identifying the difference between stated fact and inference across 20 items

Complete two full verbal reasoning sections under strict time and review every wrong answer for the reasoning gap, not just the correct option

Draft three short formal replies (German and English) to delivery-delay and address-error scenarios using clear, polite standard phrasing

Summarize a 400-word text in five bullet points, then check each bullet against the source for accuracy

Practice distinguishing necessary from sufficient conditions in 15 argument questions

Work through 40 number, letter, and symbol series and write the underlying rule for each one

Solve 25 matrix and figure-classification items by testing rules in a fixed order (rotation, count, position, shading)

Run five 5-minute concentration drills on spotting character and digit differences in address strings and postal codes

Time yourself on 30 sequence items and cut average solving time to under 60 seconds

Complete a timed 30-question mixed logical reasoning set and record accuracy for each pattern family separately

Work through 20 situational judgement scenarios on late deliveries, damaged parcels, and angry customers, writing your chosen action and a one-sentence justification

Rank response options by customer orientation and check your ranking against a written principle list (safety, accuracy, empathy, escalation)

Practice two-minute decision making on 10 scenarios to build speed without losing judgement quality

Map the end-to-end parcel journey from acceptance to delivery, listing the check performed at each handover point

Explain the difference between standard, registered, and express mail handling and the tracking implications of each

Answer 25 questions on address formats, postal codes, sorting, and undeliverable-item handling, correcting each miss against a written reference

Handle five customer-service role-plays about tracking status and failed delivery attempts, practising clear escalation language

Take two full-length timed mock exams under real conditions and score each section separately

Re-drill only the two weakest topics identified by the mocks until accuracy reaches 85%

Review the entire error log and confirm each logged rule is now applied correctly

Simulate exam-day pacing, including a fixed time budget per section and a strategy for skipping and returning to hard items
