In most cases you will have some spare time before the test day, so planning a study schedule for the time between the post-assessment and the real test is critical to reinforce and maintain the skills, concepts, and strategies that you have learned throughout the course. Below are three steps that will help you make the most of your time. Most students understand the concepts tested, but many struggle with time management. If you have not yet done so, take the practice tests in this book and The Practice Book . These practice tests: 1. reinforce skills and strategies, 2. simulate the experience of the real test by using time restrictions to emphasize time management, and 3. are an excellent guide to targeting your study plan. Use the results of your post-assessment and the practice tests to determine a day-by-day schedule that will give you a clear and dependable guide for study. Create this plan based on the amount of time you have before the test day. Several weeks before test day: • Plan to review all material equally. • As the test date approaches, devote your time to any particular areas of weakness. Remember: picking a few subjects to focus on each week will help you manage your time between now and the test.
