Forsvaret Sesjon Cognitive Test study plan
Forsvaret Sesjon Cognitive Test · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
Regnestykker
Memorize the 1–12 multiplication tables so each recall takes under 2 seconds
Practice mental addition and subtraction of two- and three-digit numbers in 60-second bursts
Build a personal error log that records the mistake type for every wrong answer
Solve 40 short arithmetic items under light time pressure without a calculator
Your checkpoint
A completed error log of 40 solved arithmetic items, with each mistake tagged by cause (misread, carry error, table gap, or time panic)
Regnestykker
Drill percentage and fraction conversions (for example 12.5% = 1/8) until they are automatic
Apply estimation and rounding to eliminate wrong answer options before computing exactly
Practice ratio and proportion word problems drawn from everyday Norwegian contexts such as price per kilo or fuel consumption
Time yourself on 30 mixed arithmetic items and record your accuracy rate
Your checkpoint
A timed 30-item arithmetic set completed with at least 80% accuracy, plus a list of the conversions you still miss
Regnestykker & Ordlikhet
Review the week-1 and week-2 error logs and re-solve every item you got wrong
Learn 60 Norwegian word pairs that commonly appear in verbal analogy items, including opposites and category members
Practice identifying the relationship type in an analogy (synonym, antonym, part-to-whole, function, degree)
Write out your own analogy items and explain each relationship in one sentence
Your checkpoint
A one-page relationship-type cheat sheet with at least 8 relationship categories, each illustrated by an original example
Ordlikhet
Build a vocabulary list of 150 Norwegian words, grouped into themes such as nature, work, body, and emotions
Practice solving synonym and antonym items without relying on translation into another language
Use word-formation cues (prefixes, suffixes, compound parts) to infer the meaning of unfamiliar words
Complete 50 analogy items and classify each relationship type
Your checkpoint
A 150-word themed vocabulary list with Norwegian definitions, reviewed and self-tested with a score of at least 85%
Figurer
Identify the transformation rules in figure sequences: rotation, reflection, translation, and size change
Practice spotting the counting patterns in figures (number of sides, dots, lines, or enclosed regions)
Solve 40 figure-series items and write the rule you used for each one
Draw the next figure in 10 sequences by hand to confirm that you understand the rule
Your checkpoint
A rule catalogue listing at least 10 distinct figure-transformation rules, each with a hand-drawn original example
Figurer & Ordlikhet
Practice matrix and odd-one-out figure items, focusing on two-attribute rules (shape plus shading)
Review the week-4 vocabulary list and add 50 more words from the categories you missed
Solve 30 figure items and 30 analogy items under timed conditions
Analyze every wrong answer and write down the rule you overlooked
Your checkpoint
A 60-item mixed figure-and-verbal practice set completed with at least 80% accuracy and a written rule analysis for each miss
Regnestykker & Figurer & Ordlikhet
Complete two full-length mixed mock tests under exam timing, with no pauses
Compare scores across the three domains and identify your weakest domain
Re-drill the 20 most-missed items from all previous weeks
Practice pacing: decide in advance how many seconds to spend on each item before guessing and moving on
Your checkpoint
Two scored mock tests with a domain-by-domain score table and a ranked list of your three weakest item types
Regnestykker & Figurer & Ordlikhet
Re-run the weakest item types identified in week 7 until accuracy exceeds 90%
Take one final timed mock test under realistic conditions (quiet room, fixed start time)
Review your full error log and confirm that each recurring mistake now has a fix
Prepare a short exam-day checklist covering timing strategy, guessing policy, and rest
Your checkpoint
A final mock-test score report showing at least 85% overall accuracy, plus a one-page exam-day strategy checklist
Milestones
Week 2: Complete a timed 30-item arithmetic set with at least 80% accuracy and no calculator use
Week 4: Self-test the 150-word vocabulary list at 85% or higher and correctly classify relationship types on 50 analogy items
Week 6: Score at least 80% on a 60-item mixed figure-and-verbal set and show written rule analysis for every miss
Week 8: Score at least 85% overall on a full-length timed mock test, with the weakest domain improved by at least 10 percentage points versus week 7
