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.
