Derive and apply the quadratic formula and discriminant without notes
Build a worked-example notebook entry for each of the main equation types, explaining each step in your own words
Complete 20 mixed-topic timed problems in 45 minutes

A timed 45-minute mixed algebra test scored and corrected, with every error reworked and annotated

Week 3

Master functions, graphs, and coordinate geometry by plotting 15 graphs by hand and identifying domain, range, and intercepts
Compute slopes, distances, and midpoints and solve 25 coordinate-geometry problems
Apply Newton's second law and friction to at least 15 free-body-diagram problems
Write a step-by-step problem-solving checklist for mechanics problems

Week 4

Solve trigonometric problems (identities, right triangles, sine and cosine rules) with at least 85% accuracy on 30 exercises
Apply work, energy, power, and conservation laws to 20 problems
Review all Mathematics and Physics errors logged so far and reclassify them by error type
Complete a 60-minute mixed Mathematics and Physics mock section under exam conditions

A mid-plan mock exam score report with an error-type analysis and a revised list of remaining weak subtopics

Week 5

Memorize the periodic table trends and the first 20 elements with symbols and valences, self-quizzing until 100% recall
Balance 25 chemical equations and solve stoichiometry problems involving moles and mass
Review Portuguese grammar rules for verb tenses, agreement, and pronoun placement, then complete 30 grammar exercises
Write two 250-word texts (one descriptive, one argumentative) and self-edit them against a grammar checklist

A corrected two-text writing sample plus a completed stoichiometry problem set with at least 85% accuracy

Week 6

Solve acid-base, pH, and solution-concentration problems with at least 80% accuracy on 20 exercises
Read three Portuguese texts and answer comprehension questions, identifying main idea and supporting details
Complete 40 English grammar and vocabulary exercises covering tenses, prepositions, and false friends
Write a 150-word English paragraph and revise it for accuracy

A combined Chemistry, Portuguese comprehension, and English exercise pack scored and corrected, with an error log

Week 7

Build a timeline of Angolan history from pre-colonial kingdoms through independence and the civil war to the present, with at least 15 dated events
Label a blank map of Angola with provinces, capitals, and major rivers and describe key geographic features
Practice 30 English reading-comprehension questions and 20 vocabulary items
Summarize three Angolan historical events in English paragraphs of 100 words each

A completed Angola timeline, a labeled map, and three corrected English summaries

Week 8

Take two full-length timed mock exams covering all domains and score them by domain
Review every missed question and rework it until solved without notes
Drill logical-reasoning question types (sequences, syllogisms, analogies) for 30 minutes per session
Finalize a one-page summary sheet per domain for last-minute review

Two scored full mock exams with corrected error logs and seven one-page domain summary sheets

Week 2: Score at least 75% on the timed mixed algebra test and have reworked every missed problem

Week 4: Score at least 70% on the combined Mathematics and Physics mock section, with no more than three recurring error types

Week 6: Achieve at least 80% on the Chemistry problem set and at least 70% on the Portuguese and English exercise pack

Week 8: Score at least 75% overall on both full mock exams and show a documented reduction in errors compared with the week-1 diagnostic
