OLSAT Level B study plan

OLSAT Level B · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Verbal

  • Define verbal analogy relationships (function, category, part-whole, degree, antonym) and label 30 practice pairs by type

  • Build a personal reference sheet of 20 common analogy bridges with one original example each

  • Practice solving 40 verbal analogy items under untimed conditions and log every error with its relationship type

Your checkpoint

A one-page analogy relationship cheat sheet plus a 40-item error log sorted by relationship type

Week 2

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

Week 3

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

Week 4

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

Week 5

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

Week 6

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

Week 7

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

Week 8

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
