A one-page diagnostic report listing baseline accuracy for Mathematics and Reading plus 20 logged vocabulary entries

Week 2

Solve 40 multi-digit addition and subtraction problems, checking each with an inverse operation
Practice 25 multiplication and division facts through 12x12 until each is answered within three seconds
Translate 10 word problems into a written number sentence before solving

Complete 40 synonym, antonym, and analogy items under a 25-minute timer
Answer 15 inference questions and write one sentence of reasoning for each answer
Review the vocabulary log and retire words answered correctly three times in a row

A timed Verbal Reasoning and Reading set of 55 items with a written error-analysis table showing repeated versus resolved mistakes

Week 8

Take two full-length mixed practice tests under exam timing and score them by domain
Rewrite 3 previously weak Mathematics problem types from scratch without notes
Produce one polished writing sample of 10 or more sentences in 20 minutes
Compile a one-page review sheet of the five rules and five vocabulary groups most often missed

A final readiness packet containing both scored practice tests, one timed writing sample, and the one-page review sheet

Week 2: Arithmetic quiz at 90 percent or higher and all multiplication facts through 12x12 answered within three seconds

Week 4: Mid-point assessment completed with per-domain accuracy recorded and the three weakest item types named in writing
