OLSAT Level C study plan

Map the verbal comprehension and verbal reasoning question types (antonyms, sentence completion, verbal analogies, classification) and label each with the skill it tests

Build a personal vocabulary log of 60 C-level words, each with a definition, a synonym, an antonym, and one original sentence

Practice verbal analogy item stems by writing the relationship (part-to-whole, function, degree, cause-effect) before choosing an answer

Time yourself on 20 mixed verbal items and record accuracy plus average seconds per item in a tracking sheet

Drill 80 antonym and synonym items, writing the reason a distractor is wrong for each miss

Complete 40 sentence-completion items, identifying the context clue (contrast, cause, definition) that points to the answer

Apply elimination strategy to verbal analogies by ruling out two answer choices before selecting

Review every missed item from weeks 1-2 and re-solve it without looking at the answer key

Expand the vocabulary log to 120 words, prioritizing words that appeared in missed items

Practice classification (odd-one-out) items by stating the shared category of the three matching words

Complete two 25-item verbal sets under a strict per-item time cap

Summarize each short reading or logic passage in one sentence before answering its question

Re-test all previously missed verbal items and confirm at least 80% are now answered correctly

Identify your three weakest verbal question types and rank them by error rate

Build a one-page strategy card for each weak type listing the steps to solve it

Take a full-length verbal-only mock under exam timing and record the score

Classify pictorial reasoning item types (series, analogies, classification, matrices) and describe the rule each type usually follows

Solve 40 pictorial series items by naming the changing attribute (size, position, shading, count) out loud before answering

Practice figural analogies by mapping the transformation from the first pair onto the second

Record accuracy separately for pictorial and figural items to see which domain lags

Drill 60 figural reasoning items covering rotation, reflection, folding, and paper-punch style transformations

Track two attributes at once in complex series items (for example shape plus shading) to avoid single-attribute traps

Complete 30 matrix items by testing each candidate rule against all rows and columns

Review all pictorial and figural misses and re-solve each without the answer key

Take two timed 40-item mixed pictorial and figural sets and compare scores to week 5 baseline

Cut average time per figural item by 20% while keeping accuracy above 75%

Practice sketching the likely answer before reading choices on transformation items

Re-drill the two weakest rule types until each reaches 85% accuracy

Take two full-length mixed mocks across all four domains under strict exam timing

Review every missed item across all domains and confirm the correct reasoning is understood

Revisit the strategy cards and rule sheet, condensing them into a single final review page

Set a pacing plan per section (target seconds per item) and rehearse it in the final mock
