Complete 60 ratio, proportion, partnership, average and mixture-allegation sums, converting each word problem into an equation before calculating

Drill 25 syllogism and 25 inequality questions using Venn diagrams and the either-or case check, targeting 90% accuracy

Solve 30 blood relation, direction sense and ranking questions with a diagram for each, timing the set at 45 seconds per question

Re-attempt every question logged in week 1 and mark those still wrong with a red flag

Work through time-speed-distance, trains, boats and streams, and time-and-work problems in sets of 20, memorising the standard formula variants on a one-page sheet

Drill 60 error-spotting and sentence-correction items, recording every grammar rule broken in the error log

Complete 50 cloze test and fill-in-the-blank items focused on collocations and preposition use

Memorise 40 high-frequency banking and economy terms with one-line definitions written in your own words

Solve 30 para-jumble and sentence-rearrangement sets by locating opening sentences through connectors and pronoun reference

Revise the formula sheet, grammar rule list and glossary in three spaced passes across the week

Re-solve all red-flagged questions from weeks 1 to 6 and retire those now answered correctly

Practise 20 vocabulary items per day from previous error logs, focusing on words repeatedly missed in cloze and RC

Take three final mocks on alternate days, refining the section order and question-skipping strategy each time

Do a final pass of the current-affairs sheet, formula sheet and grammar list, reciting each aloud from memory

Simulate exam-morning routine twice, including sleep timing and a 10-minute warm-up set of five easy questions

Confirm document checklist and centre logistics for the exam day and stop all new-topic study after day five
