Your Study Plan
Three questions, and the plan writes itself. You do not choose what to study — you say when the exam is and when you can work.
Pick a pace, and the plan writes itself. You do not choose what to study, or in what order — that is the part the plan does for you.
Thank you for unlocking. This plan is built on everything you now have — flashcards and companion PDFs. The preset plans assume what comes with the book alone, which is why this one is longer: there is more of it to get through.
These plans are built on what comes with the book: flashcards and companion PDFs. Unlocking adds more of both, and the custom plan is built on the larger set.
Whichever plan you follow, you can send us of your written responses and we will send back an assessment — one characteristic at a time — within . Free, and included with the book.
A plan needs at least days, because the last belong to the exam week. If you meant a different month, change it above.
The plan stops three days before the exam: two for the Exam Day Survival Kit, and the day before is yours. Those three days are already counted here.
The catch-up day is there for the day you miss. The other one is not: it is the day the book stays shut, and it is part of the method.
Tell us when your exam is — or tick I haven't booked it yet, and we will show you three ready-made plans that cover the whole course.
Rebuilding keeps what you have already done: a ticked item stays ticked wherever it lands in the new plan. Only work whose name has changed cannot be matched.
Each of these three plans covers the whole course, and the one you pick is yours to keep and print.
Today the book stays shut. It is in the plan on purpose: without the unload you are not sharper, only more tired. Nothing to tick.
You have finished everything the plan scheduled. What is left is yours: the question bank, the flashcards and the companions all stay open.
Nothing to catch up on — you are on track. Today is rest, and rest is part of the method: this day is in the plan on purpose.
What you did not tick comes back here, in the order it was in:
Move this plan to another device — your plan does not follow you on its own. Two steps move it, and it arrives whole: the days, the boxes you have ticked, the dates you have set.
You lose: the days this plan built, the boxes you have ticked in it, and the exam date you set.
You keep: everything you have practised — questions, flashcards, starred items and your score history are stored separately and are not touched.

How to use this
- Tick as you go. What you do not tick is not lost: it comes back on the first catch-up day.
- Some lines come back many times. What they mean, and what to do when there is nothing left to redo, is on the last page.
- Catch-up is not rest. The catch-up day exists for the day you miss; if there is nothing to make up, it is free. The rest day is never spent, not even when you are behind: it is the day the book stays shut, and it is part of the method. There are rest days in this plan, counted apart from the catch-up days above, and they are not in the count at the top.
- Keep one page of your own. When an item catches you a second time, write in one line why. Two days before the exam the plan asks you to reread that page: it will only exist if you start it now.
- The last three days are not study days. They are the exam week: logistics, a reread of what you already know, and a quiet evening. They do not follow your daily rhythm either — the journey to the test centre takes the time it takes, and these three days are the same for everyone.
- Three days are much longer. The full tests are four hours plus an hour of review — the exam is four hours, and you cannot rehearse it one hour at a time. They are marked One sitting, and each one tells you what to do if you cannot find five hours that day.
You have not booked the exam yet, so this plan has no exam date — it runs days from the day it started. The last three days are the shape of your exam week, not dates: when you book, put the date into the platform and rebuild the plan, so they land where they belong. Until then, do not attempt the practice journey — there is nowhere to go yet.
This sheet was built with an earlier version of the planner. It still works, and nothing you have ticked is lost — but the days ahead are not what the planner would write today. Rebuild your plan on the platform and print it again.
You are supposed to do badly today. Fifty questions on material you have not studied yet: the score is not a verdict, it is the measure the next three months are built on. The only wrong way to take it is to look anything up.
The chapters do not come in numerical order. They come in order of how much they are worth on the exam for every minute you spend on them: the first ones you read are the ones that pay back most. This order is the same for everyone — it does not come from your diagnostic, which the plan cannot see when it is built.
The lines that come back
- Your ranked list. The diagnostic on day one builds it: your nine objectives, weakest first. It is the order the platform uses for targeted review, and the second diagnostic — the same fifty questions — tells you what has moved.
- Targeted review. The platform serves back the items you got wrong, weakest objective first. If you have nothing left to redo, spend the block on the objective at the top of your ranked list.
- Companions. The PDFs under Downloads. The plan takes them in order and tells you which ones each day.
- Final review. In the last weeks the chapters come back one more time, in reverse order of when you read them: the one you read first is the last one you see before the exam, because it is the one you have not touched for longest. Chapters whose second review already falls in that stretch do not get a third — they are fresh enough.
- The audio. The track is almost always longer than reading the chapter, and that is not the point: it is the same chapter in time that was never desk time — walking, driving, cooking. Twice it is also shorter in blocks: on the two chapters the plan splits in half, one track covers both halves and takes the second block off your week.
This is the plan as it stood the day you printed it. If you change it on the platform, print it again: paper does not update itself.
