Week 6: All eleven domains have been studied at least once, every cheat sheet exists, and the error log is current; total logged misses have dropped by at least half compared with week 2
Week 8: Two full-length timed exams are on record with scores of 80% and 85% or higher respectively, and no domain sits below 70% on the most recent exam
