Screening Test
Map the Screening Test blueprint: list every question type you expect (quantitative reasoning, logical reasoning, verbal ability, general awareness) and assign each a target accuracy and time budget.
Diagnose your baseline by taking one full-length timed mock of the Screening Test under exam conditions and record section-wise raw scores and time spent.
Build a personal error log template with columns for question type, cause of error (concept, speed, misread, guessing) and the corrective action.
Drill mental arithmetic for 30 minutes across three sessions: percentages, ratios, averages and approximation shortcuts.
Your checkpoint
A one-page baseline scorecard showing section-wise accuracy, average seconds per question and the top five error causes from your diagnostic mock.
Screening Test
Solve 120 quantitative reasoning questions in timed blocks of 20, targeting under 60 seconds per question.
Solve 100 logical reasoning questions covering series, syllogisms, seating arrangement and coding-decoding, and tag each with the reasoning pattern used.
Rewrite every error-log entry from week 1 into a one-line rule you can apply next time.
Memorize the top 40 high-frequency general awareness facts in your exam's subject areas and self-test them without notes.
Your checkpoint
A completed error log with at least 60 entries, each closed out with a written corrective rule.
Screening Test
Complete two full-length timed Screening Test mocks and compare section-wise accuracy against the week 1 baseline.
Practise verbal ability under time: 60 questions on synonyms, antonyms, idioms, sentence correction and comprehension in three sittings.
Audit your question-selection strategy and write a fixed order for attempting sections with skip thresholds.
Reduce average time per question by 10 percent versus week 1 without dropping accuracy below your target.
Your checkpoint
A two-mock comparison sheet showing accuracy, time per section and the exact skip rules you will use on exam day.
Screening Test
Run a full timed mock, then spend double the mock duration reviewing every wrong and guessed answer.
Close out the remaining unresolved error-log entries and confirm each has a corrective rule.
Simulate exam-day logistics once: fixed start time, no interruptions, allowed materials only.
Write a one-page formula and shortcut sheet from memory, then fill gaps from your notes.
Your checkpoint
A closed error log with zero unresolved entries plus a self-written formula and shortcut sheet you can revise in 15 minutes.
Written Part
Decode the Written Part pattern: list every paper, question type, mark allocation and word limit, and convert each into a practice target.
Write two full-length essay or long-answer responses under strict time limits and mark them against a self-built rubric covering structure, content, accuracy and presentation.
Draft ten short-answer responses to anticipated descriptive questions and check each against the word limit.
Build a current-affairs and subject-knowledge note bank of 30 sourced facts with dates, ready to cite in answers.
Your checkpoint
Two timed long-answer scripts with a completed rubric score and a written list of the three weakest scoring criteria to fix.
Written Part
Rewrite the two week 5 scripts to raise rubric scores, focusing on the three weakest criteria.
Practise précis, letter or report writing formats as required by the paper, one timed attempt per format.
Complete two timed short-answer sets of ten questions each with strict word limits.
Refine the note bank to 50 facts and rehearse using at least ten of them inside written answers.
Your checkpoint
A revised portfolio of four written responses with before-and-after rubric scores showing measurable improvement.
Screening Test & Written Part
Take one full Screening Test mock and one full Written Part mock in the same week to rebuild dual-format stamina.
Cut Screening Test time per question by a further 5 percent while holding accuracy at or above your target.
Produce three timed Written Part answers and self-mark them within 24 hours of writing.
Review the entire error log and formula sheet and retire rules you now apply automatically.
Your checkpoint
A combined mock report covering both domains with scores, timing and a shortlist of at most five remaining weaknesses.
Screening Test & Written Part
Complete two final full-length mocks, one per domain, at the same time of day as the real exam.
Drill only the five shortlisted weaknesses, with 20 targeted questions or one written response each.
Revise the formula sheet, note bank and rubric in three short spaced sessions rather than one long one.
Finalize exam-day logistics: timing plan, attempt order, materials and rest schedule.
Your checkpoint
A final readiness sheet with mock scores against targets, confirmation that every shortlisted weakness has been drilled, and a written exam-day plan.
Milestones
Week 4: Screening Test mock accuracy meets or exceeds your target in at least three of four sections, with average time per question at or below your planned exam pace.
Week 6: At least four Written Part responses scored against your rubric, with the two weakest criteria improved from week 5.
Week 8: Both final mocks completed at target scores, zero unresolved error-log entries and a written exam-day plan in place.
