Turn a target overall band into section priorities

A target overall band does not mean equal effort in every section. Find the lowest section and invest limited study time where it can make the clearest difference.

Set a current baseline

Use a recent full practice or mock result instead of your best isolated attempt.

Focus on one weak section

Practise one section for a cycle before retesting so the change is meaningful.

Use the estimate as a route map

The actual result still depends on the test, marking and test-day performance.

Questions about this tool

Is the target calculation an official score?

No. It is a planning estimate based on the scores you enter.

Should I improve all four sections at once?

Usually focus on the clearest weakness first, then use a mock to check the overall change.
