A plan for the days you actually have
Not a twelve-week template pretending you have twelve weeks. Pick a test and a date and the phases below are cut to fit what is left — and if that is nine days, it says nine days.
4 weeks to go — 26 days, split five ways
Target: 7–10 October 2026 · registration closed
Sit one full official practice test, timed, in one go. You cannot plan around a score you have not measured.
Work the areas the diagnostic was weakest in, not the ones you enjoy. Untimed at first — accuracy before speed.
Sectional work under the real clock. Four 35-minute sections back to back — one of them will not count, and you will not know which.
Full-length official tests, at the same time of day as your sitting, no phone.
Light review, sleep, and logistics. Nothing new in the last few days.
The phases are proportioned to the window, allocated in order, and dropped from the end when the window is too short to hold all five — so a very short run keeps its diagnostic and loses its taper, which is the right way round. The days sum to 26, which is the number of days there actually are.
