A 30-day LET study plan

Before you start

Set aside the same block of time each day, even if it is only an hour. List the weights for your level: Elementary is 40% Gen Ed and 60% Prof Ed, and Secondary is 20% Gen Ed, 40% Prof Ed, and 40% Specialization. Your plan should roughly follow them.

Week 1: find your gaps

Day 1: take the free 30-item diagnostic, and write down your two weakest areas in each paper.

Days 2 to 6: work on one weak topic per day. Read your notes for 20 minutes, answer 20 questions, then read every rationale, including those for questions you got right.

Day 7: redo the questions you missed this week without looking at the answers.

Weeks 2 and 3: protect the 50% floor, then raise your average

If any paper is near 50%, fix that first. A strong paper cannot make up for one below the floor.

On most days, spend two-thirds of your time on your heaviest paper and one-third on your weakest. Keep a short list of mistakes in your own words, and review it every three days.

End each week with one timed set of 50 questions, and compare your score by topic rather than only the total.

Week 4: practice exam conditions

Day 22: sit a timed Gen Ed mock. Day 23: review every miss. Day 24: sit a timed Prof Ed mock. Day 25: review every miss. Secondary examinees use days 26 and 27 for Specialization.

Use the remaining days for your mistake list only. In the last two days, stop adding new topics, confirm your room assignment, and pack what your Notice of Admission requires.
