InView · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

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.

Week 2

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.

Week 3

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.

Week 4

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.

Week 5

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.

Week 6

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.

Week 7

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.

Week 8

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%.
