TestAS study plan

Diagnose baseline performance by completing one full timed Core Module simulation (Figure Sequences, Mathematical Equations, Latin Square) and logging raw scores, per-subtest timing, and error types

Map every error to a failure mode (misread rule, arithmetic slip, time-out, guessing) and rank the three most costly failure modes

Build a weekly schedule that reserves two fixed evening blocks and one weekend block of at least 120 minutes

Memorise the official subtest structure and scoring logic so you know which subtests feed the Core Module score and which feed the Subject Module

Drill Figure Sequences in blocks of 20 items with a hard 60-second-per-item cap to build pattern-recognition speed

Practise Mathematical Equations under a strict time cap without a calculator, tracking accuracy separately for algebra, ratio, and geometry item types

Introduce Latin Square puzzles with a written deduction routine (eliminate by row, column, then symbol frequency) and apply it consistently

Review every wrong item within 24 hours and rewrite the correct reasoning in one sentence

Complete two full timed Core Module simulations under exam conditions (no pauses, no phone) and compare scores

Reduce average time per Figure Sequence item by at least 10 percent versus week 2 without dropping accuracy below 80 percent

Identify and eliminate your two slowest item types in Mathematical Equations by targeted repetition

Draft a personal exam-day pacing plan stating how many minutes to allocate to each subtest and when to skip

Push Core Module simulation scores to a stable plateau across three attempts, with variance under 10 percent

Practise recovering from a deliberately hard item by skipping within 20 seconds and returning only if time remains

Cut careless arithmetic errors by adopting a written check step on every Mathematical Equations item

Review the pacing plan against actual simulation timing data and adjust

Select your Subject Module (Humanities, Engineering, Mathematics/Computer Science, or Natural Sciences) and confirm the exact subtest list and item formats

Diagnose baseline performance by completing one full timed Subject Module simulation and logging per-subtest accuracy and timing

Identify the two subject subtests with the lowest accuracy and rank the underlying knowledge gaps (content gap versus speed gap)

Assemble a subject-specific review list of formulas, definitions, or text-analysis routines you must know cold

Close the top two knowledge gaps through focused practice blocks of 45 minutes each, verifying understanding with fresh items

Drill the subject subtests under a per-item time cap to convert knowledge into speed

For text-based subtests, practise a fixed reading routine (skim question, locate evidence, eliminate) on at least 20 passages

For quantitative subtests, rebuild fluency with mental arithmetic and unit conversions without a calculator

Complete two full-length simulations covering both the Core Module and the Subject Module in a single sitting to train stamina

Balance time across both modules so neither is neglected in the final stretch

Fix the last recurring error patterns in each module by targeted repetition of only the failing item types

Rehearse exam-day logistics: start time, materials, breaks, and a warm-up routine

Complete one final full-length simulation early in the week, then switch to light review only

Re-read your error logs and pacing plans rather than attempting new hard material

Confirm you can execute the skip rule and pacing plan automatically under time pressure
