The climb to 1500
Not talent, and not total hours. Consistency first: five hours a week for thirty weeks beats twenty hours for six. Then reviewing every miss, which is what turns a practice set into information instead of a score.
The route a topic takes is always the same four steps: learn it, get it right untimed, get it right on the clock, then hold it up in a mixed set where nothing tells you which skill is coming. Skipping to step three is the most common way the work stops paying. Full-lengths sit between the blocks to check that any of it survived contact.
August
One day at a time. Aug 1–16 is the diagnostic fortnight you already finished; from Aug 17 the plan was rewritten around what those two weeks actually showed. Click any day for what to do, how to do it well, and where to practise.
Question Bank
Set up a practice run, then paste the generated prompt into your own chatbot. Nothing here stores questions — only your setup. For the real thing, every prompt also shows you the matching filter path in College Board’s official Question Bank.
These questions are generated by your chatbot, not by College Board, so an occasional one will be off. Treat them as drilling volume. Your Bluebook full-lengths and the official Question Bank stay the source of truth for what the real test looks like.
Scores
Log every Bluebook full-length and every real SAT. Watch your path against the target line — the gap between them is the whole story.
Enter R&W and Math and the total fills in, or type a total directly.
Actual vs. target
Error Log
Every missed question goes here with the reason you missed it. The tallies below are what set the order of the plan — three misses in a domain makes it a priority, five makes it the next thing you do.
Schedule
A periodized plan built like training for a race: build a base, sharpen under pressure, peak, then taper. The phases are fixed. What goes inside them is set by the latest score and the error log, and it has already changed once. Check off each week as you finish it.
Skills
Two marks, both yours to set: Learning while you are working on something, and the checkbox for Mastered once you can do it cleanly under time. Only the checkbox moves the percentage, and nothing here ever ticks itself — having practised a topic is not the same as owning it. Needs work is the one automatic part: it counts what your error log actually flagged. Domains are ordered by that count.
