Consistency is key. The right practice schedule ensures skill growth and confidence without causing stress.

Recommended Frequency

  • Short, regular sessions (20–30 mins per subject) are better than long, infrequent sessions
  • 2–3 practice tests per week for younger students (Year 3)
  • 3–4 tests per week for Years 5 and 7

Balancing Practice with Schoolwork

  • Use practice to reinforce classroom learning
  • Avoid overloading; maintain a healthy study-life balance

Tracking Improvement

  • Review instant feedback after every test
  • Track performance trends over time
  • Adjust practice focus on weak areas
