Diagnose current reading speed and accuracy by completing one timed 600-word passage set and logging errors by question type (main idea, detail, inference, intent)

Identify the four question types in Reading Comprehension and write a one-line definition plus a detection cue for each

Build a personal vocabulary log of 40 academic words drawn from the diagnostic passages, recording part of speech and a context sentence for each

Practice skimming for main idea: summarize three short passages in one sentence each within 90 seconds per passage

Locate supporting details under time pressure by answering five detail questions per passage without rereading the whole text

Distinguish inference from restatement by rewriting five incorrect inference options to show why each overreaches the passage

Identify author's intent and tone by labeling ten short excerpts as informative, persuasive, or critical and citing the signal words that justify the label

Reduce average time per passage to under eight minutes while keeping accuracy above 70 percent

Map the five most common grammar error types in the Reading section (reference, tense, agreement, connectors, modifiers) to the sentence structures that carry them

Parse complex sentences by underlining the main clause and bracketing every subordinate clause in ten long sentences from passages

Use discourse markers to predict passage structure by writing the expected next paragraph after reading only the first two sentences of six passages

Complete one full mixed Reading set under exam timing and compare accuracy to week two

Conjugate and select correctly among present perfect, past perfect, and past simple in 30 gap-fill items

Apply subject-verb agreement rules to tricky cases: collective nouns, indefinite pronouns, and inverted order

Convert ten active sentences to passive and ten passive to active, preserving tense and aspect

Reorder scrambled words into grammatical sentences covering relative clauses, conditionals, and embedded questions

Memorize and actively use 25 high-frequency collocations and idioms by writing an original sentence for each

Outline and draft a 200-word opinion paragraph using a clear topic sentence, two supporting points, and a conclusion

Write three functional texts (an email request, a complaint, an apology) using appropriate register and formulaic expressions

Revise two of your own drafts to improve cohesion by adding or replacing connectors and pronoun references

Self-assess each draft against a four-point rubric covering task response, organization, grammar range, and vocabulary range

Practice shadowing two-minute monologues daily to improve recognition of connected speech, noting five reductions or linking patterns per session

Answer detail and inference questions from five short dialogs after a single listening, without pausing

Select appropriate responses in ten situational items covering requests, suggestions, and polite disagreement

Transcribe a 90-second monologue and compare it to the script to locate comprehension gaps

Complete two full-length timed mock exams under exam conditions and record section-by-section scores

Review every missed item from the mocks and assign each to a domain and a specific rule or skill to revisit

Rewrite the weakest composition from week six using feedback from the mock review

Drill the 30 highest-frequency error patterns from your own logs until each is answered correctly twice in a row
