The topic map
Past-paper based, not an official syllabus.
Completing a topic starts its 2–7–21–45 day revision cycle.
REVISION QUEUE
Nothing due today
Mastered topics return after 2, 7, 21 and 45 days.
Your queue is clear. Finish a topic to start its cycle.
05 // SEQUENCE
Road to test day
49 days left of a 13-week campaign.
Rebuilt for a returning 98%iler: recall first, accuracy second, volume last.
01
31 AUG – 20 SEPDONE
Reload the toolkit
You already cleared 98. Nothing here is new learning — it is retrieval. Pull the formulas, methods and shortcuts back into working memory, and sit a diagnostic in week one so you spend the next ten weeks fixing measured gaps instead of remembered ones.
- Diagnostic mock in week 1
- 1 full mock / week, analysed same day
- Formula sheet rebuilt from memory
- 2 DILR sets + 1 RC daily
02
21 SEP – 18 OCTNOW
Buy back accuracy
98 to 99.5 is about eight more correct questions, and they are bought with selection and accuracy — not volume. Read the accuracy number before the score on every single mock; if accuracy is short, more attempts will make it worse.
- 2 mocks + 2 sectionals / week
- QA & DILR accuracy ≥ 85%
- VARC accuracy ≥ 80%
- Error log reviewed before every mock
03
19 OCT – 15 NOVNEXT
Simulate the real thing
Move mocks to your actual slot time and mix in past CAT papers. Freeze the section plan: attempt targets, checkpoints and exit rules written down, so exam day contains no open decisions.
- 2–3 mocks / week at slot time
- Past CAT papers as mocks
- Zero unanalysed tests
- Section plan written down and frozen
04
16–29 NOVLATER
Sharpen and taper
Revision only — error log, formula sheet, strategy card. Volume comes down, sleep moves onto the exam schedule, and nothing new is allowed into the plan.
- Final mock 3–5 days out
- No new sources or topics
- Error log → one-page exam card
- Sleep aligned to your slot
06 // DIAGNOSE
Mock lab
GAP TO TARGET99.5%ile ≈ 95/204
Log your diagnostic mock and this fills in: marks per section against the 99%ile line, and how many more correct questions the target actually needs.
NO DATA YETYour first mock is a baseline,
Your first mock is a baseline,
not a verdict.
Log section scores and one behaviour to change. Percentile matters; the lesson matters more.
THE 24-HOUR LOOP01 Sit the mock→02 Redo missed questions→03 Review selection→04 Set one next-mock rule
07 // THE ONE ARTEFACT
Error log
Every 99+ write-up says the same thing: the log is the prep. Tag each miss by why it happened, not what the topic was — then read this page for five minutes before every mock. A concept gap and a careless slip look identical on a scorecard and need completely different fixes.
EMPTY — FOR NOWThe log starts at your
The log starts at your
first mock analysis.
Aim for three to six entries per mock. Fewer means you are not looking hard enough; more means you are copying the solution rather than diagnosing yourself.
