01
The 12-week structure
- Weeks 1-3: diagnostic, high-yield foundations, and daily passage exposure.
- Weeks 4-6: mixed science sets, regular CARS passages, and targeted content repair.
- Weeks 7-9: weekly full-length exams with detailed review.
- Weeks 10-12: official practice, pacing refinement, weak-area maintenance, and a lighter final week.
02
When 16 weeks is better
Use the longer plan when prerequisite knowledge is rusty, work or school limits weekly study time, or your diagnostic reveals broad gaps. The extra month should add spaced retrieval and practice, not four more weeks of passive note-taking.
03
A repeatable weekly rhythm
- Three mixed science sessions with passage-based questions.
- Four to six CARS passages spread across the week.
- One focused psychology and sociology retrieval block.
- One cumulative review session driven by the error log.
- One full or partial simulation once the foundation phase is complete.
04
Protect review time
A full-length exam is only the data-collection step. Review the reasoning behind correct guesses, timing decisions, passage interpretation, content gaps, and avoidable process errors before taking the next one.
