3 actionable fixes (no fluff)

  • Cut input. Run one diagnostic and train one fix.
  • Do timed practice only after the method is stable.
  • Use one ‘review ritual’ daily: identify 1 mistake, fix it, redo 1 task.

What to do today

  1. Run a Reality Check (fast diagnostic).
  2. Fix one criterion for 7 days (not everything).
  3. Re-test once and upgrade only if you’re within 0.5–1 band.

Many candidates use a Reality Check to stop wasting retakes and focus on the one fix that moves the band score.
