Sequences (nonverbal/figural series)
Take a 25-item figural series diagnostic and log every miss with the rule it actually used.
Name and drill the six core series rules: rotation, reflection, size change, shading/count change, position shift, and figure addition or removal.
Build a one-page rule checklist and apply it in a fixed order to 40 untimed series items.
Re-run 20 of those items at a 45-second cap and record both accuracy and average decision time.
Your checkpoint
An error log covering 40+ figural series items, each tagged by rule family, with before/after-timing accuracy percentages.
Analogies (nonverbal/figural)
Sort 50 figural analogies into relation types: transformation, part-to-whole, addition/removal, rotation, orientation change, and count change.
Write an explicit bridge statement for each of 30 items before selecting an answer.
Practice eliminating options by attribute mismatch instead of hunting for the right answer.
Complete 30 items at a 40-second cap and note which relation types collapse under time pressure.
Your checkpoint
A set of 30 written bridge statements with the correct relation type labeled on each, plus a per-relation-type accuracy table.
Sequences (nonverbal/figural series) & Analogies (nonverbal/figural)
Alternate 15-item blocks of series and analogies under a strict 45-second-per-item cap to train task switching.
Re-drill the top three error categories carried over from weeks 1 and 2.
Work through two-rule items where a rotation is combined with a count change, and describe both rules aloud.
Review every wrong answer by naming the specific trap the distractor was built to catch.
Your checkpoint
A timed 40-item mixed figural set scored at 80% or better, with a short log of the error types that remain.
Verbal Classification
Group verbal classification stems by category type: class membership, function, degree, part-to-whole, and cause-effect.
Drill 60 classification items at 30 seconds each, writing the shared category of the three given words before scanning the options.
Compile a list of 20 near-miss distractors that relate to one word but not to the whole class, and explain why each fails.
Build a 60-word precision vocabulary sheet of synonym and antonym clusters likely to appear as answer choices.
Your checkpoint
A 60-item classification accuracy log at 85% or better, plus a category-type reference sheet and a 20-entry distractor analysis.
Verbal Analogies
Write ordered bridge sentences for 40 verbal analogies so the direction of the relation is never reversed.
Cover the main relation families: synonym, antonym, degree, function, part-to-whole, cause-effect, object-location, and sequence.
Distinguish near-neighbor relations such as degree versus antonym, and record which one each tricky item turned on.
Complete 40 items at 35 seconds each and flag every item where two options looked defensible.
Your checkpoint
An analogy notebook of 40 solved items, each with a relation label and bridge sentence, at 85% or better accuracy.
Quantitative Reasoning
Rebuild arithmetic foundations in fractions, percents, ratios, averages, rates, and unit conversion with 20 drill problems.
Drill number-pattern reasoning across differences, ratios, alternating patterns, squares and cubes, and two-step rules.
Solve 40 word problems using an estimate-first strategy before doing exact computation.
Practice back-solving from the answer choices on 15 problems where direct setup is slow.
Your checkpoint
A 50-item quantitative set with per-topic accuracy breakdown, with every topic at 75% or better.
Sequences (nonverbal/figural series) & Quantitative Reasoning
Run 20-minute mixed blocks that alternate figural series and quantitative items to train rapid context switching.
Re-time the 20 hardest figural items from weeks 1 to 3 at a 35-second cap.
Hold verbal ground with three 15-minute classification and analogy drills during the week.
Enforce a hard 60-second ceiling per item, then guess and move on, recording every instance in a pacing log.
Your checkpoint
Two full timed mixed blocks with scores, plus a pacing log showing maximum time spent on any single item.
Verbal Classification & Verbal Analogies & Sequences (nonverbal/figural series) & Analogies (nonverbal/figural) & Quantitative Reasoning
Sit two full-length timed simulations under quiet, test-day conditions with no pauses.
Tag every error by domain and cause: rule missed, misread stem, pacing, or guess.
Re-drill the 20 highest-frequency error items until each is solved correctly twice in a row.
Finalize a one-page test-day checklist covering pacing caps, the guessing rule, and the elimination habit.
Your checkpoint
Two simulation scores plus a final error tally showing that the week-1 weakness categories have shrunk.
Milestones
Week 2: Score 75% or better on 30 untimed figural analogies with the correct relation type labeled on at least 27 of them.
Week 4: Score 80%+ on the timed 40-item mixed figural set and 85%+ on the 60-item verbal classification set.
Week 6: Reach 75%+ on every quantitative subtopic and hold 85%+ on a 20-item verbal maintenance check.
Week 8: Average 80%+ across the two full simulations with no single domain below 70%.
