Avoid the old all-writing-session assumption
Rehearse switching between selected responses and concise written answers within one practice session. Both tasks rely on their vignette facts. A plan built around one entirely written session and one entirely multiple-choice session does not match the listed mixed format.
Keep a set average distinct from a question limit
132 minutes across 11 sets gives a nominal 12 minutes per set before any chosen review reserve. Sets can contain different tasks; this average is not an instruction to spend identical time on every response. Use the supplied requirements and point information in rehearsal.
Answer the requested task
For original written practice, identify the requested action, use the relevant case facts and give the necessary reasoning or calculation. A long general summary can miss a specific request. The command-word worksheet below is original preparation support, not an official scoring rubric.
Keep pathway and core content in the plan
Match the official topic outline to the pathway selected at registration. Use current official samples to understand presentation, and keep the Academy’s deeper learning examples separate from official exam material.
