Tracking
Track accuracy by skill, not just total score. Skill accuracy tells you what to do next.
How to know whether the plan is working
A study plan is working when the same miss pattern appears less often each week.
- Track misses by skill, not just by section score.
- Repeat missed questions 48 hours later before adding more new drills.
- Use one timed module each week as the transfer test.
- If the same mistake appears twice, make the next drill narrower.
