OLSAT Level D study plan

Define every verbal-comprehension question type on Level D (verbal analogies, sentence completion, antonym/synonym selection) and write a one-line solving rule for each

Build a 60-item personal vocabulary log from your own reading, grouping words by relationship type (opposites, degree, cause-effect, part-whole)

Practice verbal analogies in sets of 15, labeling each stem's relationship before reading the answer choices

Complete 20 sentence-completion items and record why each rejected choice fails (wrong tone, wrong grammar, wrong meaning)

Expand the vocabulary log to 120 words and self-quiz in both directions (word to meaning, meaning to word)

Drill 40 antonym and synonym items under a 30-second-per-item limit to build speed

Identify the three most frequent analogy relationship families in your error log and re-drill only those

Write original practice analogies in each relationship family to prove you can generate, not just recognize, the pattern

Practice verbal reasoning items that combine logic with language (classification/odd-one-out, inference from short passages) in sets of 10

Annotate each passage-based item by underlining the sentence that proves the answer

Track accuracy separately for analogy, classification, and inference items to find the weakest subtype

Review all week 1-2 errors and rewrite each miss as a rule you can apply next time

Learn the core pictorial-reasoning patterns (rotation, reflection, size change, addition/subtraction of elements) and sketch an example of each

Complete 30 pictorial analogy and sequence items, noting the pattern type before answering

Practice figural reasoning items involving matrix completion and paper-folding logic in sets of 10

Time yourself: finish 25 mixed pictorial/figural items in 20 minutes to establish a baseline pace

Drill 40 figural series items, verbalizing the transformation rule out loud for each

Practice 20 paper-folding and hole-punching items using a sketch-before-answer method

Compare your pictorial versus figural accuracy from week 4 and spend extra sessions on the weaker one

Reduce average time per figural item to under 45 seconds without dropping accuracy

Complete 50 mixed pictorial and figural items in two timed blocks to build stamina

Isolate recurring errors (missed rotation direction, ignored shading, miscounted folds) and log them

Re-drill every pattern type where accuracy is below 80 percent until it clears that threshold

Practice eliminating answer choices by feature (symmetry, shading, element count) before full solving

Take two full-length mixed-domain practice sections under real timing and record section-by-section scores

Apply a pacing plan: allocate time per question type and flag-and-return on hard items

Review every missed item across all four domains and classify the cause (knowledge, misread, timing)

Re-drill the two lowest-scoring question types across all domains

Take one final full-length timed practice test and compare results to week 7

Review only flagged and previously missed items; do no new-topic study

Rehearse the pacing plan and confirm per-question time targets for each domain

Consolidate the cheat sheets, vocabulary log, and pattern reference into a single one-page pre-test review sheet
