UL Entrance study plan

UL Entrance · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Mathematics and Quantitative Reasoning & Undergraduate Admission (General Entrance)

  • Diagnose baseline by completing one timed 30-question quantitative reasoning set and recording error types

  • Build a formula sheet covering fractions, percentages, ratio and proportion, and unit conversion

  • Practice order-of-operations and fraction arithmetic until 20 consecutive items are correct

  • Set up a daily 20-minute drill log tracking accuracy and time per question

  • Review the admission domain's core skill list and rank your weakest three subtopics

Your checkpoint

A one-page diagnostic report listing baseline scores per domain, top five error patterns, and a ranked weak-subtopic list

Week 2

Mathematics and Quantitative Reasoning

  • Solve percentage, percentage-change, and simple/compound interest problems using a single consistent method

  • Convert word problems into equations before calculating, for 25 mixed problems

  • Drill ratio, proportion, and average problems under a 90-second-per-question cap

  • Rewrite every missed problem in your own words and re-solve it two days later

Your checkpoint

A 40-question quantitative practice set completed at 75% or higher accuracy within the time cap, with corrections logged

Week 3

Mathematics and Quantitative Reasoning & Science and General Knowledge

  • Master algebra basics: linear equations, substitution, and inequalities, with 30 solved items

  • Compute area, perimeter, volume, and angle relationships for standard plane and solid figures

  • Interpret tables, bar charts, and line graphs to extract two-step answers

  • Skim one general-knowledge topic area per day and write three facts you can state without notes

Your checkpoint

A two-part quiz (20 algebra/geometry items plus 10 data-interpretation items) scored at 80% or higher

Week 4

English Language and Communication

  • Identify your three weakest grammar areas from a 40-item diagnostic and list the exact rules involved

  • Apply subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, and pronoun reference correctly in 30 error-correction items

  • Punctuate 20 sentences correctly, focusing on commas, semicolons, and apostrophes

  • Build a personal error log with rule, example, and correction for every miss

Your checkpoint

A grammar error log of at least 25 entries, each with the rule name, a wrong example, and a corrected version

Week 5

English Language and Communication & Undergraduate Admission (General Entrance)

  • Increase reading speed by completing three 600-word passages with 80% comprehension on detail and inference questions

  • Write two 250-word timed essays (30 minutes each) using a clear claim-evidence-conclusion structure

  • Use context clues to define 20 unfamiliar words without a dictionary, then verify

  • Summarize each reading passage in three sentences to practice main-idea extraction

Your checkpoint

Two timed essays plus a scored reading set, with a self-assessment noting structure, vocabulary range, and grammar accuracy

Week 6

Science and General Knowledge & English Language and Communication

  • Review core science concepts: basic biology, matter and energy, and Earth and space fundamentals, producing a 30-item fact sheet

  • Explain ten scientific or everyday phenomena in plain language, one paragraph each

  • Practice vocabulary-in-context and sentence-equivalence items in mixed sets of 20

  • Quiz yourself on general-knowledge facts twice this week and record retention rate

Your checkpoint

A 30-item science and general-knowledge fact sheet you can self-quiz from, plus a retention score from two attempts

Week 7

Undergraduate Admission (General Entrance) & Mathematics and Quantitative Reasoning & English Language and Communication & Science and General Knowledge

  • Complete two full-length timed mock exams under exam conditions and score each domain separately

  • Analyze every error by cause: knowledge gap, misreading, time pressure, or careless slip

  • Re-drill the two lowest-scoring subtopics across all domains

  • Cut average time per quantitative question by 15% versus week 1 baseline

Your checkpoint

A mock-exam analysis sheet comparing both attempts by domain score, error cause, and time per question

Week 8

Undergraduate Admission (General Entrance) & English Language and Communication & Mathematics and Quantitative Reasoning & Science and General Knowledge

  • Review only your error logs and formula/fact sheets; add no new material

  • Run one final timed mock and confirm each domain meets your target score

  • Rehearse exam-day logistics: timing checkpoints, question-skipping rule, and answer-sheet routine

  • Write a one-page pre-exam checklist of the ten rules that most often save you points

Your checkpoint

A final mock score report at or above target in all four domains, plus a one-page exam-day checklist

Milestones

Week 2: Quantitative practice accuracy is at least 70% and every missed item has a written correction

Week 4: Grammar error log has 25 or more entries and a repeat 40-item grammar quiz scores at least 80%

Week 6: Reading comprehension is at 80% or higher on detail and inference items, and both timed essays are complete within 30 minutes

Week 8: Final timed mock meets or exceeds target in all four domains, and the exam-day checklist is finished
