Your checkpoint
A one-page analogy relationship cheat sheet plus a 40-item error log sorted by relationship type
Verbal
Classify and solve 40 verbal classification (odd-one-out) items by identifying the shared attribute that excludes each distractor
Distinguish synonym, antonym, and association items in mixed sets of 30 and justify each answer in one written sentence
Complete two 15-minute timed verbal sets and record accuracy and average seconds per item
Your checkpoint
A timed verbal scorecard showing accuracy and pacing for two 15-minute sets, with written justifications for 30 mixed items
Verbal
Solve 30 sentence completion and sentence arrangement items by predicting the answer before reading options
Apply elimination rules to option sets and document why each rejected option fails
Review weeks 1-2 error logs and re-solve every missed item cold
Your checkpoint
A rewritten error log where at least 90% of previously missed verbal items are solved correctly on retry
Verbal & Nonverbal
Take a full-length verbal practice section under timed conditions and score it
Identify the two weakest verbal item types from the scored section and list three corrective drills for each
Begin nonverbal work by completing 20 figure analogy items and naming the transformation used in each
Your checkpoint
A mid-plan diagnostic report listing verbal section score, two weakest item types, and six targeted corrective drills
Nonverbal
Solve 40 figure analogy and figure classification items by describing each transformation verbally before answering
Practice pattern completion items involving rotation, reflection, size change, and shading rules in sets of 20
Build a nonverbal rule checklist covering position, orientation, count, size, and shading
Your checkpoint
A completed nonverbal rule checklist plus 60 solved items with a one-line rule description for each
Nonverbal
Solve 30 paper folding and 30 figure series items, sketching each fold or sequence step
Reduce average time per nonverbal item to a target pace while maintaining at least 80% accuracy
Re-solve every nonverbal item missed in week 5 using the rule checklist
Your checkpoint
A pacing log for 60 nonverbal items showing per-item time and accuracy against the 80% target
Verbal & Nonverbal
Complete two full-length mixed practice tests under strict timing and score both
Compare item-type error rates across verbal and nonverbal domains and rank the top three remaining gaps
Drill only the top three gap areas with 20 items each
Your checkpoint
A two-test score comparison table with ranked gap areas and evidence of 60 targeted drill items completed
Verbal & Nonverbal
Take one final full-length timed practice test and review every item, correct or incorrect
Rehearse test-day pacing strategy and confirm a per-section time budget
Consolidate all error logs into a single one-page review sheet for final revision
Your checkpoint
A final one-page review sheet plus a completed final practice test score report with time budget
Milestones
Week 2: Score at least 75% on a 30-item timed verbal set and correctly label the relationship type for every analogy item
Week 4: Complete a timed verbal section with recorded score, and name the two weakest verbal item types with corrective drills listed
Week 6: Achieve at least 80% accuracy on nonverbal items at target pace, with a rule description written for each solved item
Week 8: Score at least 80% overall on a final full-length timed practice test and produce the consolidated one-page review sheet
