Build a four-week starter cycle
Week 1: Diagnose
Sample every area under ordinary time pressure. Record the skill behind each error.
Week 2: Repair
Spend most sessions on the two weakest skill groups while keeping short mixed reviews.
Week 3: Integrate
Alternate focused drills with mixed sets. Practice choosing a method before calculating or reading choices.
Week 4: Rehearse
Use timed, distraction-free sets and review errors the same day. Keep the final sessions lighter.
A repeatable 45-minute session
- Five minutes: retrieve yesterday's rules or methods without notes.
- Fifteen minutes: learn or refresh one narrow skill.
- Fifteen minutes: answer original practice for that skill.
- Ten minutes: classify errors as knowledge, process, reading, calculation, or time management.
