Re-read the full statute and rules with a focus on numbers, deadlines, and thresholds, and consolidate them into a single reference sheet

Resolve every missed item from prior weeks by rewriting the underlying rule in plain language

Practice applying provisions to ambiguous fact patterns and defend each answer against the text

Identify commonly confused pairs of provisions and write a distinguishing rule for each

Take two full-length timed practice exams and log every error by statutory topic

Re-drill the three weakest topics until error rates fall below 10%

Recite the licensure pathway, disciplinary sequence, and confidentiality exceptions aloud without notes

Review the numeric reference sheet and glossary for final consolidation
