Measure before you study
Priority: Baseline Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, Writing Task
A timed baseline shows which topics need attention before you use the available study weeks.
- Start with one baseline across Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, Writing Task. Keep the module clocks separate.
- Record each miss by module and topic, then name the step that failed.
- Use Learn for Reasoning using everyday written language and Assumptions an argument needs in Critical Thinking, then take a short Practice set on the same topics.
- Return to the misses after a break and check whether the route changed.
Repair the named gap
Priority: Critical Thinking: Reasoning using everyday written language and Assumptions an argument needs
A named topic gives each block one decision to improve and one result to check.
- Open Learn and work through Reasoning using everyday written language and Assumptions an argument needs in Critical Thinking.
- Use Practice for Critical Thinking, then review the Critical Thinking misses before changing topics.
- Give Problem Solving a focused block on Reasoning using numerical skills and Number concepts and follow it with a timed set.
- Repeat one earlier miss without notes and write down the changed step.

Turn repairs into marks
Priority: Mixed Practice led by Critical Thinking
Mixed work checks whether the fix holds across topics and modules.
- Alternate Critical Thinking and Problem Solving in Practice. Keep the focus on Reasoning using everyday written language and Assumptions an argument needs and Reasoning using numerical skills and Number concepts.
- Use Learn only for the topic that failed in the preceding set.
- Complete one timed set for each of Critical Thinking and Problem Solving and Writing Task.
- Review the reason for every wrong option before starting the next set.

Rehearse the whole sitting
Priority: Critical Thinking (40 minutes), Problem Solving (40 minutes), Writing Task (40 minutes)
A timed mock exposes pacing, sequence and repeated decision errors before the sitting.
- Use the timed mock for Critical Thinking (40 minutes), Problem Solving (40 minutes), Writing Task (40 minutes).
- Review by topic first. Repair a repeated decision before an isolated hard question.
- Return to Practice for Critical Thinking, then check the result against Reasoning using everyday written language and Assumptions an argument needs.
- Repeat the sequence only after you find a specific change in your review.

Arrive ready, keep work light
Priority: Accuracy, sleep and a clean first pass
Near the sitting, briefly practise methods you have checked.
- Finish the last full timed mock by 1 Jan 2027.
- From 3 Jan 2027, add no new topics. Use only your error log and familiar Practice sets.
- The day before, do one short warm-up and stop before quality drops.
- Check the sitting details you booked and protect sleep as part of the plan.
