A practical 4-week OAR rhythm looks like this:
- Week 1: Diagnose weak areas with mixed math, reading, and mechanical sets
- Week 2: Drill your weakest one or two topics every day
- Week 3: Add timed mixed blocks and error review
- Week 4: Simulate realistic pacing and clean up recurring mistakes
Use a notebook or spreadsheet to tag misses as one of four types:
- Concept gap
- Formula / fact recall gap
- Reading or interpretation error
- Rushing / process error
That simple classification tells you whether to re-study content, memorize a rule, slow down, or change your scratch-work habits.
