SPSC Screening Test study plan

SPSC Screening Test · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Screening Test (CCE) - subject domains not enumerated in official source

  • Map the full Screening Test (CCE) content outline into a personal topic checklist, flagging every subtopic as known, shaky, or unknown.

  • Complete one untimed baseline pass across all question types to identify which formats (calculation, scenario, recall) cost the most time.

  • Define a personal error log template with columns for topic, error cause, and corrective action.

  • Set a weekly study schedule that protects two 2-hour blocks and one 2-hour review block.

Your checkpoint

A one-page diagnostic summary listing the three weakest subtopics and the baseline accuracy per question format.

Week 2

Screening Test (CCE) - subject domains not enumerated in official source

  • Build condensed reference sheets for the highest-weight subtopics identified in week 1.

  • Work through the weakest subtopic first, solving at least 30 practice items and logging each miss.

  • Explain each missed item aloud in your own words to confirm the underlying rule is understood.

  • Re-solve every week-1 missed item without notes and record the pass rate.

Your checkpoint

A two-page reference sheet plus an error log showing at least 30 logged items with causes labeled.

Week 3

Screening Test (CCE) - subject domains not enumerated in official source

  • Drill the second-weakest subtopic with at least 40 timed practice items at exam pace.

  • Practice eliminating answer choices on scenario-style items and write down the elimination rule used.

  • Identify recurring trap patterns (absolute wording, unit mismatches, distractor reuse) and list five of them.

  • Review the error log and reclassify any subtopic that has moved from unknown to shaky.

Your checkpoint

A trap-pattern list of at least five recurring error types with a countermeasure for each.

Week 4

Screening Test (CCE) - subject domains not enumerated in official source

  • Take a full-length timed practice test under exam conditions with no interruptions.

  • Score the test by subtopic and compare results to the week-1 baseline.

  • Re-teach every missed subtopic using reference material until you can state the governing rule from memory.

  • Recalibrate the remaining four weeks based on the score breakdown.

Your checkpoint

A scored full-length test with a subtopic breakdown table and a revised four-week plan.

Week 5

Screening Test (CCE) - subject domains not enumerated in official source

  • Close the two lowest-scoring subtopics from the week-4 breakdown with targeted drills of 25 items each.

  • Build flashcards for facts that must be recalled cold and run them daily for five days.

  • Practice pacing by completing a 25-item set in the exam's per-item time budget.

  • Audit the error log for any cause that repeats three or more times and design a fix for it.

Your checkpoint

A flashcard deck of at least 40 cards with a five-day review log showing retention above 80 percent.

Week 6

Screening Test (CCE) - subject domains not enumerated in official source

  • Run mixed-topic sets so no single subtopic dominates a session, mirroring real exam ordering.

  • Complete two 30-item timed sets and record accuracy plus average seconds per item.

  • Review every wrong answer within 24 hours and rewrite the reasoning correctly in the error log.

  • Test recall of reference-sheet content by reconstructing it from blank paper.

Your checkpoint

Two timed mixed-set scores with per-item timing data and a reconstructed reference sheet graded against the original.

Week 7

Screening Test (CCE) - subject domains not enumerated in official source

  • Take a second full-length timed practice test and compare against the week-4 score.

  • Target any subtopic still below your accuracy threshold with a focused 20-item drill.

  • Rehearse exam-day logistics: allowed materials, timing checkpoints, and a guessing strategy for unknowns.

  • Reduce the reference sheet to a single page of high-yield reminders.

Your checkpoint

A second scored full-length test with a before-and-after comparison by subtopic.

Week 8

Screening Test (CCE) - subject domains not enumerated in official source

  • Review the condensed one-page sheet and error log only, avoiding new material.

  • Complete one final half-length timed set to confirm pacing and stamina.

  • Simulate the exam start-to-finish once, including the check-in routine.

  • Rest and finalize logistics the day before the test.

Your checkpoint

A final readiness checklist confirming pacing targets met and all error-log items re-solved correctly.

Milestones

Week 2: Diagnostic baseline exists and at least 30 practice items are logged with labeled error causes.

Week 4: First full-length timed test scored with a subtopic breakdown and a revised remaining plan.

Week 6: Mixed-topic timed accuracy is stable and flashcards show above 80 percent retention.

Week 8: Second full-length score meets or beats the week-4 score and every logged error has been re-solved correctly.
