TASC French study plan
TASC French · Give each week a clear focus.
8 weeks · About 6 hours per week
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
