Executive Assessment study plan
Executive Assessment · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
Integrated Reasoning
Map each Integrated Reasoning question type to its underlying skill (table reading, multi-source synthesis, graph interpretation, two-part reasoning)
Diagnose baseline accuracy on each IR question type using timed practice sets
Build a personal error log template that records question type, error cause, and correction
Practice extracting only the data needed from a multi-source prompt before answering
Your checkpoint
A completed baseline score sheet showing accuracy per IR question type plus a populated error-log template
Integrated Reasoning
Solve table and graph interpretation sets under a strict per-question time cap
Practice cross-referencing two sources to resolve contradictory data points
Drill two-part reasoning items where both parts must be correct
Review every logged error and rewrite the reasoning for each corrected item
Your checkpoint
A timed 12-question IR practice set with a written post-mortem of every miss
Quantitative Reasoning
Diagnose baseline accuracy across arithmetic, algebra, and word-problem categories
Build a formula and concept reference sheet for core quantitative topics
Practice translating word problems into equations before solving
Set a target pace per quantitative question and test it on a mixed set
Your checkpoint
A quantitative baseline report with per-category accuracy and a one-page formula sheet
Quantitative Reasoning
Drill arithmetic and number-properties problems to fluency with timed sets
Practice algebraic manipulation and equation setup on multi-step problems
Apply estimation and backsolving shortcuts to reduce solve time
Re-attempt all previously missed quantitative items without notes
Your checkpoint
A timed 20-question quantitative set scored against the week-3 baseline, showing measurable accuracy or speed improvement
Verbal Reasoning
Diagnose baseline accuracy on reading comprehension, critical reasoning, and sentence correction
Practice identifying the conclusion and assumptions in argument-based questions
Drill main-idea and inference questions on dense passages under time limits
Build a grammar and style error checklist from missed sentence-correction items
Your checkpoint
A verbal baseline report with per-question-type accuracy and a drafted grammar error checklist
Verbal Reasoning
Practice eliminating answer choices using precise reasoning rather than intuition
Drill assumption, strengthen, and weaken questions with written justifications
Improve reading speed and retention on timed passage sets
Rewrite explanations for every missed verbal item in your own words
Your checkpoint
A timed 25-question verbal set with a written justification for each answer chosen
Integrated Reasoning & Quantitative Reasoning
Run full mixed IR and quantitative sections under official timing
Identify the two weakest question types across both domains and drill them
Practice pacing strategy for switching between question formats
Update the error log with root causes rather than surface mistakes
Your checkpoint
Two full timed mixed sections with scores and a prioritized list of the two weakest question types
Integrated Reasoning & Verbal Reasoning & Quantitative Reasoning
Take two full-length practice exams under test-day conditions
Review every missed item across all three domains and categorize by root cause
Re-drill the highest-frequency error patterns from the log
Finalize a test-day pacing and section-order plan
Your checkpoint
A final readiness summary comparing practice-exam scores to baseline with a residual-weakness action list
Milestones
Week 2: IR accuracy improves over the week-1 baseline and the error log shows fewer repeated error types
Week 4: Quantitative timed-set score meets or exceeds the week-3 baseline with improved pace
Week 6: Verbal per-type accuracy improves over the week-5 baseline, with grammar checklist applied consistently
Week 8: Full-length practice scores across all three domains meet or exceed baseline targets
