TASC French study plan

TASC French · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Reading & Mathematics

  • Diagnose reading comprehension strengths and gaps by completing a 30-question mixed-passage practice set and recording accuracy by question type.

  • Diagnose math strengths and gaps by completing a 30-question mixed-topic practice set and logging errors by skill area.

  • Establish a weekly study schedule with fixed blocks for reading and math practice.

  • Set up an error log template that records question type, cause of error, and corrective step.

Your checkpoint

A baseline score report for reading and math with a ranked list of the five weakest skill areas in each domain.

Week 2

Reading & Mathematics

  • Apply active reading strategies (previewing questions, annotating main idea and evidence) to five informational passages and five literary passages.

  • Solve 40 arithmetic and algebra problems covering order of operations, proportions, and linear equations.

  • Identify and correct recurring error patterns from week 1 in both domains.

  • Summarize each practice passage in one sentence to verify comprehension.

Your checkpoint

A completed error-analysis sheet showing at least 20 corrected math problems and 10 annotated reading passages with one-sentence summaries.

Week 3

Reading & Writing

  • Analyze author's purpose, tone, and point of view in six short passages and justify each answer with textual evidence.

  • Review and apply grammar and usage rules for subject-verb agreement, pronoun reference, and sentence fragments in 30 practice items.

  • Draft three short constructed responses (3-5 sentences) that cite evidence from a passage.

  • Revise each draft for clarity and correct grammar using a checklist.

Your checkpoint

A portfolio of three evidence-based short responses, each with a revision note identifying at least two grammar or clarity improvements.

Week 4

Writing & Mathematics

  • Plan and write two full-length essays (one argumentative, one informative) within 45 minutes each.

  • Solve 40 geometry and measurement problems involving area, perimeter, volume, and angle relationships.

  • Interpret and create tables, graphs, and charts to answer 15 data-analysis questions.

  • Self-score both essays using a rubric for organization, development, and language conventions.

Your checkpoint

Two timed essays with completed self-scoring rubrics and a list of three targeted writing goals for the second half of the plan.

Week 5

Science & Social Studies

  • Explain core life science and physical science concepts (cell function, ecosystems, forces, energy) by writing one-paragraph summaries for each of eight topics.

  • Interpret scientific data presented in tables and graphs by answering 20 questions that require identifying trends and drawing conclusions.

  • Sequence major events and eras in U.S. history from colonization through Reconstruction using a timeline.

  • Identify the three branches of government and explain checks and balances with two examples each.

Your checkpoint

A one-page science concept map linking at least eight key ideas and a completed U.S. history timeline with 15 correctly ordered events.

Week 6

Social Studies & Science

  • Analyze primary and secondary sources on two social studies topics by identifying bias, point of view, and historical context.

  • Explain basic economic principles (supply and demand, opportunity cost) and apply them to three real-world scenarios.

  • Describe the steps of the scientific method and design a controlled experiment for a given question.

  • Answer 25 mixed science and social studies practice questions and log errors by content area.

Your checkpoint

A written source analysis for two documents and a one-page experimental design outline, plus an error log showing at least 10 corrected items.

Week 7

Reading & Writing & Mathematics

  • Complete a full-length timed practice test for reading, writing, and math under exam conditions.

  • Review every incorrect answer and write a corrective explanation for each.

  • Revisit the three writing goals set in week 4 and revise one earlier essay to meet them.

  • Practice test-day pacing by completing each section within the allotted time.

Your checkpoint

A full practice test score report with a written corrective explanation for every missed question and a revised essay demonstrating progress on the week 4 goals.

Week 8

Science & Social Studies & Reading & Writing & Mathematics

  • Complete a second full-length timed practice test covering all five domains.

  • Review and correct all errors, focusing on the weakest areas identified in week 7.

  • Consolidate key facts and formulas into a one-page review sheet for each domain.

  • Finalize a test-day checklist covering timing, materials, and stress-management strategies.

Your checkpoint

A final score comparison showing improvement from week 7, plus five one-page review sheets and a completed test-day checklist.

Milestones

Week 2: Complete the baseline error log and demonstrate at least 70% accuracy on a 20-question reading set and a 20-question math set.

Week 4: Score at least 3 out of 4 on the essay rubric for organization and development, and achieve 75% accuracy on a 30-question math set covering arithmetic, algebra, and geometry.

Week 6: Correctly answer at least 75% of a 30-question mixed science and social studies set, and submit a source analysis that identifies bias and context in two documents.

Week 8: Improve the full-length practice test score by at least 10 percentage points from week 7 and complete all five domain review sheets.
