Psychometric Test (PET) study plan

Psychometric Test (PET) · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Verbal Reasoning & Quantitative Reasoning

  • Diagnose baseline accuracy in Verbal and Quantitative by completing one timed 25-question set per domain and logging error types

  • Classify every verbal miss as vocabulary gap, logic/relationship error, or misread of the stem

  • Build a personal synonym/antonym and analogy-relationship log with at least 40 entries

  • Review arithmetic fundamentals (fractions, ratios, percentages) and write a one-page formula sheet

Your checkpoint

A baseline score sheet showing per-domain accuracy and a categorized error log with at least 30 entries

Week 2

Verbal Reasoning & Quantitative Reasoning

  • Practice verbal analogy and relationship types (cause-effect, part-whole, degree) with 60 items and record the relationship used

  • Drill quantitative word problems by translating each into an equation before solving

  • Apply a 3-pass reading strategy to 4 short passages and answer inference questions

  • Memorize and self-quiz the formula sheet until 90% recall

Your checkpoint

A 60-item analogy log with relationship labels and a formula-sheet self-quiz score of at least 90%

Week 3

Verbal Reasoning & Quantitative Reasoning

  • Complete 2 timed verbal sections under exam pacing and record time per question

  • Complete 2 timed quantitative sections and flag questions that exceeded 90 seconds

  • Re-solve all flagged items untimed and compare reasoning to the timed attempt

  • Introduce data-interpretation practice (tables, charts) with 20 questions

Your checkpoint

Two timed section score reports with a list of time-sink question types to target

Week 4

Verbal Reasoning & Quantitative Reasoning & Figural Reasoning

  • Consolidate verbal weak spots by re-drilling the top 3 error categories until accuracy exceeds 80%

  • Consolidate quantitative weak spots with 40 mixed problems at 80% accuracy or better

  • Learn figural reasoning rule families (rotation, reflection, progression, superposition) and label 50 items

  • Begin a figural rule checklist to use during practice

Your checkpoint

A mid-point review sheet showing Verbal and Quantitative accuracy at or above 80% and a figural rule checklist

Week 5

Figural Reasoning

  • Drill series and matrix figural items with 80 questions, labeling the rule for each

  • Practice spatial-relation and paper-folding style items with 30 questions

  • Time figural sets at 45 seconds per item and log where the rule was missed

  • Review the figural rule checklist and add any new rule families discovered

Your checkpoint

An 80-item figural rule log with accuracy tracked and updated checklist

Week 6

Figural Reasoning & English Proficiency

  • Complete 2 timed figural sections and compare accuracy to untimed practice

  • Review English grammar fundamentals (subject-verb agreement, tense, modifiers) with 40 items

  • Practice sentence correction and vocabulary-in-context questions with 40 items

  • Build a list of 30 commonly confused word pairs and self-test them

Your checkpoint

A timed figural score report plus an English grammar and word-pair self-test log

Week 7

Verbal Reasoning & Quantitative Reasoning & Figural Reasoning & English Proficiency

  • Run 2 full-length mixed practice tests under exam conditions and record per-domain scores

  • Review every miss from both tests and categorize by domain and error type

  • Re-drill the top 5 error categories across all domains

  • Tighten pacing by practicing question-skipping and time-budget rules

Your checkpoint

Two full-test score reports with a prioritized error-category list and pacing plan

Week 8

Verbal Reasoning & Quantitative Reasoning & Figural Reasoning & English Proficiency

  • Run 1 final full-length timed test and compare scores to week 7

  • Review only high-frequency error categories and the formula/rule checklists

  • Practice 20 mixed questions per domain at exam pace to maintain sharpness

  • Finalize an exam-day timing and question-order strategy

Your checkpoint

A final full-test score report with a written exam-day strategy and a comparison to week 7

Milestones

Week 4: Verbal and Quantitative accuracy at or above 80% on timed sets, and a figural rule checklist in place

Week 6: Figural timed accuracy within 10 points of untimed accuracy, and English grammar self-test at 80% or better

Week 8: Final full-test score improvement over week 7 baseline with all four domains above 75% accuracy
