Every session, same shape

A rhythm you can count on.

Each 60-minute session follows the same arc — so the structure fades into the background and the skill takes the foreground.

0:00 · 7m

Warm-up / hook

A short provocation that previews the day's skill.

0:07 · 16m

Direct instruction

The method, taught with the handout open and worked examples.

0:23 · 15m

Guided practice

Drill with instant feedback — see the trap as you make it.

0:38 · 14m

Timed independent

A locked countdown that auto-scores by domain into your log.

0:52 · 8m

Debrief + Error Log

Review misses and update your domain profile against the baseline.

The four phases

Two measurements, four levers between them.

PHASE 1 · Sessions 1–3

Foundation & Orientation

After the baseline pre-test

Establish the format, introduce all four domains, learn to eliminate wrong answers, and build the active-reading habit. No domain is taught in depth yet — the goal is a shared map and a confirmed starting point.

PHASE 2 · Sessions 4–16

Core Skills

One skill per session

The core of the course. Each session takes a single domain sub-skill, teaches a repeatable method, and drills it from guided feedback to hard timed sets. Two checkpoint sessions consolidate Craft & Structure and Information & Ideas. Every exercise mixes passage genres; your Error Log accumulates a domain profile against the baseline.

PHASE 3 · Sessions 17–20

Integration & Strategy

Mixed domains, real pacing

Skills come together. Distractor analysis and process of elimination across all domains, true module pacing (71 sec/question), and genre-intensive sessions for science/data and literature/humanities under exam-level time pressure.

PHASE 4 · Sessions 21–25

Simulation & Exam Readiness

Hard questions, full simulation, re-measure

Hard-Module-difficulty questions only, a full 27-question timed simulation, and a final strategy + logistics session that closes with the Form B post-test — turning the whole arc into a visible, domain-by-domain gain.

Optional challenge

S.E.C. Challenge Workshop

A separate 10-session intensive for stronger students, or anyone who finishes early — 140 SEC questions across four sub-skills, tracked independently of the main course.

Enter the SEC Challenge →
The progress system

One instrument, two parallel forms.

Measured at both ends of the course. Forms A and B share the exact blueprint — five questions per domain, same difficulty mix, different passages — so the before/after delta reflects real skill, not recall.

Sample class

Form A · Baseline

Take the Pre-Test, get a score by domain, and save a Baseline Code that encodes it.

Sessions 1–23

Error Log track

Each session's timed set auto-scores by domain into a persistent log, referenced against the baseline.

Session 23

Simulation

A full 27-question hard-module simulation; domain breakdown compared to the day-one baseline.

Session 25

Form B · Re-measure

The Post-Test reads your saved baseline and renders Pre vs Post growth with an estimated point shift.

Start here

The pre-test does the explaining.

Take the diagnostic, see your number and your weakest domain, and you'll know exactly which of these sessions are built for you.
