The eight-week structure
- Weeks 1-2: diagnostic, biology systems, chemistry foundations, daily PAT.
- Weeks 3-4: organic chemistry, quantitative foundations, reading passage routine.
- Weeks 5-6: mixed timed sets, weak-topic repair, first full-length tests.
- Weeks 7-8: full simulations, error-log review, pacing, and reduced final volume.
The twelve-week structure
Use four weeks for broad content review, four for increasingly mixed practice, and four for full-test integration and targeted repair. The extra time should increase spaced retrieval, not simply stretch the same passive reading.
A repeatable study day
- Block 1: active recall of prior material.
- Block 2: one focused content objective.
- Block 3: timed questions and immediate review.
- Block 4: short PAT or reading practice.
- Close: write tomorrow's first task while today's errors are fresh.
Adjust using evidence
Every week, compare accuracy, time per item, and error categories. Move time toward persistent weaknesses, but retain maintenance sets in stronger sections so gains do not decay.
