Build a timeline of 15 key events in Philippine history with date, cause, and consequence for each.

Classify 40 analogy items by relationship type (part-whole, function, degree, cause-effect) before choosing an answer.

Answer 20 vocabulary-in-context items by predicting the meaning before reading the options.

Identify main idea, supporting detail, and inference in 8 reading passages, marking the sentence that proves each answer.

Solve 30 number, letter, and figure series by writing the rule in words before selecting the next term.

Classify 20 odd-one-out and figure-grouping items by stating the shared attribute out loud.

Complete 20 mirror-image, paper-folding, and hidden-figure items with a self-imposed 30-second cap per item.

Run 15 speed-matching and symbol-counting drills, recording time and accuracy per drill.

Tabulate your accuracy and average time for each perceptual item type to expose the slowest category.

Sit two full-length simulated exams under real section timing and no breaks.

Re-drill the three weakest item types flagged in each domain's error log.

Recite the physics formula sheet, biology organelle table, and government branch chart from memory.

Consolidate all error logs into a single one-page sheet of traps to re-read before the exam.

Finalize exam-day logistics: test site route, allowed materials, sleep schedule, and section time allocation.
