Practice tests bunched into the final weekend show you the gaps too late to fix them.
Count the practice tests that fit before your exam and the average gap between them.
Anyone preparing for a course test or certification exam with a known date.
Use the source document or official route that applies to your situation. This guide does not contact another person or verify external information.
Count the full weeks between today and the exam. Leave the last week for review only.
Choose how many practice tests you can take each week and grade honestly.
Multiply the weeks by the weekly rate. Round down so you never plan a test you cannot take.
Divide seven days by the weekly rate to find the average gap. Spread the tests across the week.
After each test, write the topics you missed. Study those before the next test.
You have 8 weeks and plan 2 practice tests a week. That is 16 tests, with about 3.5 days between them.
