SACE Stage 2 Armenian study plan

SACE Stage 2 Armenian · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

School assessment (internal assessment)

Map every internal-assessment task in the school assessment component and record its weighting, due week, and required text types in a single tracking table
Draft a 6-month reverse calendar that allocates preparation weeks to each internal task, working backward from each due date
Write one full-length Armenian response (about 250 words) to a past-style prompt and self-mark it against the school's criteria descriptors
List the top five recurring errors in your draft and convert each into a specific weekly correction drill

A one-page assessment tracker plus reverse calendar covering all internal-assessment tasks, with the first marked practice response attached

Week 2

Compose two short Armenian texts in the text types most heavily weighted in the internal assessment, timing each to exam conditions
Revise both drafts against a self-made checklist of register, structure, and cohesion markers, then rewrite each once
Record and review a 3-minute spoken Armenian response on a familiar topic and note three fluency or accuracy targets
Build a personal vocabulary bank of 40 high-frequency academic and connective expressions drawn from your own writing

Two timed short texts in final revised form plus a recorded 3-minute oral, each annotated with three improvement targets

Week 3

Complete one full internal-assessment-style task end to end under timed conditions and submit it for teacher feedback
Analyse the returned feedback into a numbered action list, separating language accuracy from task fulfilment issues
Rewrite the weakest section of the task, applying at least four of the numbered actions
Extend the vocabulary bank to 80 entries and test yourself on 40 of them from memory

A submitted-and-returned practice task with a written action list and a rewritten section evidencing at least four fixes

Week 4

Complete a second full internal-assessment-style task in a different text type under timed conditions
Compare your performance on the two tasks and identify which criterion is improving slowest
Draft and rehearse a 5-minute oral presentation with structured notes, then deliver it without notes
Review the assessment tracker and adjust the remaining calendar to protect time for the weakest criterion

A second completed timed task, a two-task comparison note identifying the slowest-improving criterion, and a delivered 5-minute oral

Week 5

Reconstruct the external examination format from the syllabus: section structure, task types, and time allocation per section
Complete one full past-paper section under strict timing and mark it against the published criteria
Diagnose every lost mark and classify it as knowledge, language, or time-management error
Write a one-page examination strategy sheet listing time checkpoints and answer-order decisions

One timed past-paper section with a mark breakdown by error type and a one-page examination strategy sheet

Week 6

Complete a full past paper under examination conditions in a single sitting and mark it honestly against the criteria
Drill the three error types that cost the most marks in week 5, using targeted exercises
Produce one polished internal-assessment draft that reuses the strongest material from your examination practice
Memorise and recall 20 set phrases useful across multiple examination task types

A full marked past paper with a score log, plus one polished internal-assessment draft and a 20-phrase recall test result

Week 7

Complete a second full past paper and compare section scores against week 6 to confirm improvement
Rehearse oral or listening components of the external examination for 30 minutes on three separate days
Finalise the internal-assessment task that carries the greatest weighting and proofread it line by line
Reduce the error log to the five remaining persistent mistakes and write a correction rule for each

A second marked past paper with a week-6-versus-week-7 comparison table and a finalised high-weight internal task

Week 8

Simulate a complete examination in one timed block with no interruptions and mark the result
Review the five correction rules and confirm each is eliminated or controlled in the simulation
Submit the final internal-assessment task and verify all submission requirements are met
Write a short final-week revision sheet of the ten highest-yield points to review before each assessment

A completed full examination simulation with a marked score, an elimination check on the five correction rules, and a confirmed submission checklist

Week 2: Assessment tracker and reverse calendar are complete, and two timed short texts plus one recorded oral exist in revised form

Week 4: Two full internal-assessment-style tasks have been completed under timing, and the slowest-improving criterion is identified in writing

Week 6: One full past paper has been sat under examination conditions and marked, with errors classified by type

Week 8: A second full past paper shows measurable score improvement over week 6, and the highest-weight internal task is finalised and submitted
