The final 1 to 1.5 months are dedicated to comprehensive revision and full-length testing, ensuring students are thoroughly prepared and confident before the DSAT.
The tests are conducted on our specialized testing platform, meticulously designed to mirror the exact format and structure of the DSAT, ensuring students are fully acquainted with the test presentation and layout.
On average, we assign two tests per week to the students: one during the week and one over the weekend, ensuring consistent practice and progress throughout the course. This goes to cover about 15 adaptive full-length tests.
After every test, a comprehensive review session is conducted, during which the mentor provides a detailed walkthrough of the entire test, ensuring that students fully understand each question and concept. This process aims to enhance efficiency by teaching students effective time management strategies and providing them with the ideal and optimum methods for solving problems.
