Deep analysis + difficulty & similarity

Reading & Writing

• Module 1: VIC opener (art history) → short science/history blurbs; transitions; punctuation (comma/colon/semicolon) show up repeatedly.
• Module 2: Geomorphology vocabulary opener; claim/evidence; quick charts/tables; grammar edits (possessives, appositives).
• Bank motifs align closely with other May 2025 sets (e.g., LiDAR at Tikal, microplastics extraction, Oklahoma industries table, Schomburg Center note fill).

Math

• Module 1: rate/units warm-up → linear functions/systems; function interpretation; factoring; %/ratio.
• Module 2: linear combinations, angle relations, exponential modeling, circle parameters, histogram/SD comparison, vertex interpretation.
• Time sinks = small algebra slips; isolate symbolically first, then do one plug-in sanity check.

Difficulty (coach’s rubric)

Similarity (shared bank)

*Estimated by matching stems/contexts across the May 2025 family.

Tips

• R&W: drill connector logic + comma/colon/semicolon rules (6–8 items/day).
• Math: bank time on Q1–Q8; expect one “graph read” trap and one elimination problem late in Module 2.
• Use bank-aware rotation: do the same archetype across 5A/5B/5F to force transfer.
