01The weekly cycle: test → review → focus → measure
Test (timed)
One full practice test a week under conditions close to the real thing. Without a timer you are not training the most important skill: deciding under pressure.
Review (by reason)
Every mistake gets its reason written down. “I got it wrong” is useless; “I forgot that the area of a circle uses the radius squared” is useful.
Focus (on one type)
During the week, 15–20 minutes a day on the question type your review exposed. One type only, until you master it.
Measure (the curve)
Compare this week’s percentage with last week’s in each section. A steady rise, even 2–3% a week, means the method is working.
02Why random practice fails
Because it reinforces what you already know and leaves what you don’t. Easy questions make you feel productive, hard ones get skipped, and the gap stays exactly where it was.
03What a practice platform needs to support this method
- New timed exams every week.
- A solution for every question, not just the right answer.
- Separate quantitative and verbal percentages and a progress curve.
- An incentive to keep going: rankings, badges, weekly challenges.
