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:

  1. Concept gap
  2. Formula / fact recall gap
  3. Reading or interpretation error
  4. Rushing / process error

That simple classification tells you whether to re-study content, memorize a rule, slow down, or change your scratch-work habits.
