Your study plan should reflect which module you are writing, your current score range and how recently you completed the qualifying course. Use the plans below as structures, not guarantees.
7-day intensive
Days 1–2: diagnose weak competency areas and review core distinctions.
Days 3–4: targeted questions + calculations.
Day 5: application case studies and error review.
Day 6: module-format timed practice.
Day 7: light review, reference-material navigation and weak-topic cleanup.
14-day balanced
Spend the first week rotating through competency areas and the second week increasing timed application. Keep an error log so recurring mistakes become specific review targets.
30-day foundation
Use a slower cycle: learn/review → question practice → calculations/cases → spaced recall → timed module practice. This is useful when the qualifying course was completed some time ago.
How to allocate time by competency
For Life, A&S and Seg Funds, the published competency structure is 35% / 30% / 25% / 10%. Common Law Ethics is 60% / 40%. Use those weights as a guide, while still giving extra time to your weak areas.
What to record after every session
- questions missed because the concept was unknown
- questions missed because two options looked similar
- calculation mistakes
- reference-material navigation delays
- client facts you failed to notice
That error log is more useful than simply counting how many questions you completed.
