What every good plan for this exam has in common
Georgia first. 34% of the exam comes from the state supplement, courses often cover it late, and no national question bank includes it. Any plan that treats it as revision at the end has the weighting backwards.
Beyond that, three things separate a plan that works from a list of intentions:
- It starts with a diagnosis. You cannot allocate time sensibly before you know where you are losing marks. The readiness check takes two minutes.
- It has checkpoints. Each block should end with something that tells you whether it worked, not just that it happened.
- It ends mixed. Mixed practice removes the topic label and makes you choose the rule before solving. The practice exam preview is the closest thing here.
Choose the plan from evidence
| Plan | Use it when | Core focus |
|---|---|---|
| 2 weeks | Course is recent and the diagnostic has isolated gaps. | Repair, Georgia review, mixed practice, simulations. |
| 4 weeks | Scores are average and you can study 7 to 10 focused hours weekly. | Georgia foundation, high-weight national areas, math, mixed review. |
| 6 weeks | Foundation is uneven or weekday time is limited. | Complete lessons, examples, targeted practice, two review cycles. |
| 8 weeks | Coursework is old or both outlines show broad gaps. | Rebuild the outline, spaced mastery, then exam simulation. |
For a complete slower-build schedule, open the 6-week plan or 8-week plan. Use the interactive planner to adapt either one to your date, weekly hours, and current diagnostic.
