Week 1: Baseline
Take one full-length adaptive practice test under real timing, in one sitting. Sort every miss by skill and write down your 5 costliest skills. Register this week while you're thinking about it, well before the November 20 deadline.
Weeks 2 to 4: First skill block
Pick your 2 or 3 costliest skills and give them four sessions a week of 30 to 45 minutes. Short, frequent sessions beat long weekend ones. For every miss, read the explanation, then retry the question a few days later.
Weight your choices by how often a topic appears. On Math, algebra and advanced math are about 35% each. On Reading and Writing, the four areas are closer to even, so a weak area there costs about the same wherever it is.
Week 5: Full test and adjust
Take a second full test on a fresh form. Check each skill against week 1. Anything that improved goes into light review, and anything that didn't moves to the top of the list for the next block.
Weeks 6 to 8: Second skill block
Same routine, new skills. Add timed sets: the same number of questions in the time the real test gives. Thanksgiving falls in week 9, so if you're traveling, finish your hardest work in week 8.
Weeks 9 and 10: Final test and rest
Take your last full test about a week before December 5, then only light review. Stop new material two days out. The night before, check your admission ticket and ID, charge your device, set up Bluebook, and sleep.
