Your Game Plan, and setting your exam date

Your Game Plan works backwards from your exam date. The whole plan is visible on the free trial — only the buttons that start a paid session are locked.

Your Game Plan works backwards from your exam date. The whole plan is visible on the free trial — only the buttons that start a paid session are locked.

Setting the date

The date card is on your dashboard and at the top of the plan. Put in the day you sit — or a target, if you have not booked yet — and press Save. Change date is always there.

Without a date you still get a plan; it just paces you rather than counting down. With one you also get the taper, which stops new material near the end so your recall peaks on the day rather than a week early.

What the plan gives you

  • A verdict — what is left to master, in how many study days, at your pace.

  • Today — a short checklist by kind: questions, flashcards, a reading, an audio chapter, a mock. Each with a button that starts it.

  • Adjust — two levers, and only two: minutes per session and days per week. Change either and the whole arc re-plans. Give it your real numbers rather than your hopeful ones.

  • The arc — every remaining day, its minutes, its phase, and what is left.

  • What changed — a log of every time the plan moved, and why.

The four phases

Foundation covers the ground. Build is the engine room — questions and steady review. Sharpen is mocks and weak points, less new material. Taper is no new material at all, driving retention so it peaks on exam day.

If you miss days

  • One missed day is absorbed silently. A single slip is not a failure and we are not going to make you feel like it was.

  • Two or three are spread across the days ahead rather than piled onto today.

  • Four to seven and the plan refocuses on the domains carrying most of the exam. Nothing is deleted; the rest moves behind them.

  • More than that, or a genuinely impossible plan, and it says so — with the real arithmetic and three honest options: accept a lower score, move your date, or cover less of the exam deliberately.

After the date passes

The countdown stops doing arithmetic and asks how it went. Tell it, and if you are re-sitting, set the new date — the whole arc rebuilds around it. Nothing you built is lost.
