Milestones
Week 2: You can solve a 5-question puzzle set in under 8 minutes at 80% accuracy, and your arithmetic error log shows recurring causes rather than random slips
Week 4: Mock 2 total score exceeds mock 1 by at least 10%, and no single domain remains below 40% accuracy
Week 6: You can write a formal letter in 20 minutes scoring at least 70% on your own checklist, and your fact sheet covers all four GK themes
Week 8: Your last three mocks sit within a 5% score band, meaning your preparation has stabilised rather than fluctuated
