# Weekend — IAD1-A

> Four-week study plan for the weekend IAD1-A cohort. Saturday and Sunday, 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM, Sep 26 – Oct 18, 2026.

<Note>
  **Hussein A.** · IAD1-A, room C100 · Saturday and Sunday, 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM

  Four weeks, **Sep 26 – Oct 18, 2026**.
</Note>

Every week asks the same four things of you: read the slides for that week's domains, run every lab in them, finish the IP Learn simulations, and submit the Exam Edge assignment.

Slides are on the domain pages in this portal. Labs launch from their own page into the [IP Lab Portal](https://labs.intellectualpoint.com). Simulations and Exam Edge are graded in [MyIP Portal](https://my.ipoint.id) — not here.

**Then revision.** Week 4 is the lightest on new material on purpose. Once Domain 15 is done, go back through every domain you scored badly on, redo the labs you rushed, and sit two full mocks before your exam date.
