How to plan your review

  1. 1

    Find your weak areas first. Answer a short set from each of the five tests before you plan anything.

  2. 2

    Cover every area, weakest first. Put each topic on a calendar that leaves the last weeks for full practice tests.

  3. 3

    Practice every day and read every rationale. Read why each wrong choice is wrong, even on the questions you got right.

  4. 4

    Go back to what you missed. Redo missed questions a few days later until you get them right without help.

  5. 5

    Take full timed practice tests. 100 items per test under the clock, then review every miss.
