LANTITE Literacy study plan

Diagnose baseline by completing one full-length untimed practice reading and writing set and tabulate errors by skill (main idea, inference, vocabulary in context, grammar, punctuation, spelling).

Memorise the test format: number of questions, time limits, and how the reading and writing sections are scored.

Build a personal error log spreadsheet with columns for question type, error cause, and corrective rule.

Read one short opinion article daily and write a one-sentence summary of the author's central claim.

Practise locating main ideas and topic sentences in 10 short non-fiction passages under a 10-minute timer.

Distinguish fact from opinion in 20 statements drawn from news and opinion writing.

Annotate passages by underlining claims and circling evidence, completing five annotated texts.

Define 25 common academic and test-register words in your own words and use each in a sentence.

Answer 30 inference questions and justify each answer with the exact line or phrase that supports it.

Identify the function of each paragraph in five multi-paragraph texts (introduce, illustrate, counter, conclude).

Practise eliminating distractor options by labelling why each wrong option fails (too broad, contradicted, unsupported).

Complete two timed 15-question reading sets and record accuracy and time per question.

Revise the six most frequent punctuation rules (comma splices, apostrophes, quotation marks, colons, semicolons, dashes) and correct 40 faulty sentences.

Fix 30 subject-verb agreement and pronoun reference errors in authentic-style sentences.

Edit three of your own practice essays specifically for sentence boundary errors.

Re-attempt every question missed in weeks 1 to 3 and record whether the error repeats.

Write four short persuasive or explanatory responses of 150 to 250 words under 20-minute timers.

Apply a planning routine (identify audience, purpose, three key points) before each timed response.

Self-assess each response against a checklist covering structure, cohesion, vocabulary range, and mechanical accuracy.

Rewrite the weakest response incorporating feedback and compare drafts side by side.

Practise vocabulary-in-context questions by predicting a word's meaning before reading the options, completing 25 items.

Build cohesion by rewriting 15 choppy paragraph pairs using appropriate connectives without changing meaning.

Read two longer texts of 600 or more words and answer mixed question types in 25 minutes each.

Reduce average reading time per question while maintaining at least 80 percent accuracy.

Sit two full-length timed practice tests under exam conditions with no interruptions.

Mark each test against the answer key and classify every error using your week 1 categories.

Target the two skills that still produce the most errors with 30 focused practice items each.

Draft a one-page exam-day routine covering timing checkpoints and a strategy for flagging and returning to hard questions.

Complete one final full-length timed test and compare the score with week 7 to confirm improvement.

Review the error log only, reciting the rule behind each recurring mistake.

Rehearse the timing plan in a shortened 20-question set.

Prepare logistics: confirm test date, location or device requirements, identification, and permitted materials.
