With ESAT Maths close, it’s mainly a timing exam (40 minutes for 27 MCQs), so improvement comes from pacing + picking the quickest safe method + learning from mocks.

A clear final-week structure (numbers included):
Day 1: 13 Maths 1 questions + quick review
Day 2: 18 Maths 2 questions + quick review
Day 3: Maths 1 timed mock (27 Q, 40 mins) + short debrief Day 4: remaining 13 Maths 1 questions + redo the slowest 5 Day 5: remaining 18 Maths 2 questions + redo the slowest 5 Day 6: Maths 2 timed mock (27 Q, 40 mins) + short debrief
Day 7: light consolidation (cheat-sheet review + short confidence drill)

Rule: if you’re stuck after ~75–90 seconds, flag it and move on, bank easy marks first.

If you’d like, I can email a free 7-day plan + a short cheat-sheet sampler. Message me an email address and I'll send it over.
