DAY 11

DAY 11 (GROUP D)

Thought for Day 11.

You’ve made it to phase II. Now you need less time for planning and more time finding and experiencing the techniques that will improve your test score. Your progress should be becoming more obvious every day.

You have completed the first phase, and if you still answer some questions incorrectly, that's OK. You have plenty of time ahead.

You should be pretty familiar with our study schedule from Phase I. The study cycle in Phase II is similar – you will just spend slightly less time reviewing tests and a bit more time learning techniques.

In Phase II, one cycle is defined as follows:

•       25% – Test Preparation

•       50% – Practice Test

•       25%– Test Review

If you spend four hours a day studying, your cycle will be:

•       60 minutes – Test Preparation

•       120 minutes – Practice Test

•       60 minutes – Test Review

If you spend three hours a day studying, your cycle will be:

•       45 minutes – Test Preparation

•       90 minutes – Practice Test

•       45 minutes – Test Review

As you can see, your daily study cycle is now 25–50–25. We have increased the time allocated for Test Preparation to allow time to learn test techniques. You will also spend more time on the skill-building part of this book and less on the planning part. Starting today, you will exercise this study cycle for ten days and will study the following sections/groups:

Today we focus on your Group D section(s). Start your test preparation now and head over to the skill-building part of the book to learn and review test-taking techniques for these section(s). Then start taking practice questions for Group D section(s). Try to apply the techniques that you learned today. Review the practice test afterwards.
