Psychometric Test (PET) study plan
Psychometric Test (PET) · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
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
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%
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
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
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
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
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
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
