TACHS study plan

Learn the four TACHS ability question types (verbal reasoning, nonverbal/figural reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and reading-based inference) and label a sample of each in your own notes.

Practice 30 verbal analogy items, writing the relationship (e.g., part-to-whole, cause-effect, degree) beside each pair before choosing.

Practice 20 figural series and matrix items, verbalizing the rule that changes each figure (rotation, shading, count, position).

Set up an error log with columns for domain, question type, rule missed, and corrective step.

Complete 40 quantitative-reasoning items (number series, ratio puzzles, logic grids) under a 45-minute timer.

Complete 40 verbal-reasoning items (analogies, classifications, sentence logic) and record accuracy by subtype.

Review every missed item from Week 1 and Week 2, rewriting the correct rule in your error log.

Practice eliminating two answer choices on 20 items before selecting, to build process-of-elimination speed.

Read four grade-level nonfiction passages and write a one-sentence main idea for each without looking back.

Answer 30 detail and vocabulary-in-context questions, underlining the exact sentence that supports each answer.

Distinguish fact from opinion and author's purpose across three short passages.

Time yourself on two 20-minute reading sets to build pacing for the timed test.

Complete two full-length mixed reading-and-ability practice sections under strict timing.

Identify and drill the two ability subtypes with the lowest accuracy from Week 2.

Practice inference questions by writing what the passage implies versus what it states directly.

Review all errors and update the error log with a corrective action for each.

Review the eight parts of speech and identify the subject and verb in 25 sentences.

Correct 30 run-on, fragment, and comma-splice sentences, writing the rule used for each fix.

Practice subject-verb agreement, pronoun reference, and modifier placement on 30 items.

Revise three of your own paragraphs for clarity, concision, and varied sentence structure.

Drill arithmetic with fractions, decimals, and percents, completing 40 computation items without a calculator.

Solve 25 word problems by translating each into an equation before calculating.

Practice ratio, proportion, and average problems and check answers by estimation.

Review geometry basics (perimeter, area, angles) with 20 items and memorize key formulas.

Complete a timed 40-question math section and a timed 30-question written-expression section.

Re-drill the two math error types that appeared most often in Week 6.

Practice editing short passages for grammar, usage, and sentence combining on 20 items.

Build a pacing plan that allocates time per question for each domain.

Take two full-length timed practice tests under test-day conditions, including breaks.

Review every missed question and confirm each error is now understood.

Re-read your cheat sheets, formula card, and grammar rule sheet for final consolidation.

Rehearse test-day logistics: arrival time, materials, and a calm pre-test routine.
