Confirm the current requirements
Check the official exam outline and your school’s requirements. Confirm your testing date, accepted exam version, registration rules, and any program-specific score expectations. Use current official information rather than an old study checklist.
Establish your baseline
Try a representative set of practice questions for each section. Record not only your score, but also the topics that confused you and the questions that took too long. A baseline is a planning tool, not a judgment of your ability.
Build manageable weekly blocks
Allocate more time to weaker topics while keeping some practice for stronger sections. Leave space for rest, revision, and unexpected commitments. A plan you can consistently follow beats an ambitious schedule you cannot sustain.
Review your reasoning
When you miss a question, identify why: a knowledge gap, a misread prompt, a calculation error, or time pressure. Match the next practice activity to that cause. Tutor-guided explanations can help you understand patterns in your mistakes.
