A comprehensive 5-week program covers all three tested areas: Logical Reasoning (two sections), Reading Comprehension, and Analytical Reasoning (logic games). The curriculum typically starts with foundational strategies and question format understanding, then progresses to timed practice and full-length PrepTests. You'll learn section-specific techniques—like identifying argument structure in LR, managing timing in RC, and diagramming game setups—plus test-day strategies for pacing and question selection. Most programs also emphasize diagnostic testing to pinpoint your weaknesses early so remaining weeks focus on areas that will move your score.

Logic games challenge many test-takers, but whether they're your biggest hurdle depends on your strengths. Some students find logic games intuitive once they learn diagramming systems, while others struggle more with reading comprehension under time pressure or spotting logical fallacies in reasoning questions. During your 5-week prep, diagnostic testing reveals where your actual weaknesses lie. If logic games consistently trip you up, a good prep program allocates focused time to mastering game types and building speed—but the goal is proportional improvement across all sections, not perfection in games.

Most effective 5-week programs include 4-6 full-length timed practice tests—roughly one per week, with some flexibility based on your progress. Early tests (weeks 1-2) serve as diagnostics and learning tools; you review them thoroughly to understand mistakes. Mid-program tests (weeks 2-4) help you track improvement and adjust strategy. Your final test (week 5) simulates test-day conditions. Beyond formal full-lengths, you'll also do untimed and section-specific practice, but full-length tests under timed conditions are crucial for building stamina and realistic score prediction. Quality review of each test matters more than quantity.

Pacing strategy evolves across your five weeks. Early on, you prioritize accuracy over speed—working untimed to master strategies and understand question logic. As weeks progress, you gradually introduce time constraints, starting with individual sections before moving to full-test timing (35 minutes per section). A key insight many students miss: you don't need to answer every question to score well. Instead of rushing through all questions, the 5-week curriculum teaches you to identify high-confidence questions quickly, skip strategically, and revisit harder questions with remaining time. Your tutor helps you find the right pace balance for your target score.

Test anxiety often stems from unfamiliarity and feeling unprepared. A structured 5-week program builds confidence through repeated exposure—you practice the exact question types, timing, and format you'll face test day, making the actual exam feel familiar rather than intimidating. Your prep includes multiple full-length simulations under timed conditions, which normalizes the testing experience. Beyond strategy, a good program teaches mental skills: how to manage time pressure, when to move on rather than panic, and how to maintain focus across a 3+ hour test. By test day, you've rehearsed success many times, which significantly reduces anxiety.

Both deserve attention since logical reasoning comprises 50% of your score (two sections) while reading comprehension is 25% (one section). However, your specific allocation depends on your baseline. If your diagnostic shows stronger reading skills and weaker reasoning, emphasize logical reasoning to balance out. Conversely, if reading comprehension is your struggle, dedicate proportionally more time there. The 5-week structure allows flexibility to address individual weaknesses—your prep curriculum identifies gaps early, then tailors your practice schedule accordingly. The goal is holistic improvement across all sections, not perfect balance for everyone.
