📜 WAYPOINT LESSON

The week before

⭐⭐⭐ advanced⏳ 10 min read📍 Lesson 255 of 256

One mixed set, the circling ritual, the strategy re-read, sleep — no new material.

After the master. Whatever the verdict, the week before the real exam is not for new material:

  1. One mixed set (module 17) at half intensity — keep the classify-first reflex warm without fatigue.
  2. The operator-circling ritual on any practice items you redo — the clause-reading habit decays fastest.
  3. The strategy module (module 20) re-read the night before: pacing numbers, the no-blanks rule, the last-ten-minutes protocol. Sleep beats a sixth simulation, every time.
  4. Exam day: triage bins, banked FRQ parts, boundary audit, no blanks. Everything else is noise.

You arrived here from Foundations, through Core, into this course. The progression was designed to end with you walking into the exam having already taken it — several times, under worse conditions than the real thing provides. That is the whole trick: the exam is calm because you have been here before.
