Diagnose current performance in Domains 1 and 4 by completing one timed mixed set of 20 intertextuality and 20 proportional-reasoning items, recording accuracy and average time per item
Map the five most frequent grammar-and-meaning traps in Domain 1 (ambiguity, pronoun reference, regency, agreement, register) and write a one-line rule and one original example for each
Build a personal error log template with columns for domain, error type, root cause, and corrective action, then populate it with every miss from the diagnostic
Review fraction, percentage, and ratio conversions until you can solve ten conversion problems in under twelve minutes without a calculator
Your checkpoint
A completed diagnostic score sheet plus an error log containing at least 30 logged items with root causes
Linguagens, Códigos e suas Tecnologias & Matemática e suas Tecnologias
Interpret literary and non-literary excerpts by identifying thesis, argumentative strategy, and implied reader in ten short passages
Solve fifteen function and graph-reading problems, explicitly stating domain, image, and growth pattern for each
Practice producing short written responses of 8-12 lines that state a claim, cite textual evidence, and close with an inference
Convert ten word problems into algebraic equations before solving them, checking units at every step
Your checkpoint
A portfolio of ten annotated passages with written analyses plus fifteen solved function problems showing full working
Linguagens, Códigos e suas Tecnologias & Ciências Humanas e suas Tecnologias
Classify ten historical and sociological source excerpts by type (primary, secondary, chart, map) and state what each source can and cannot prove
Explain, in writing, the difference between fact, interpretation, and opinion across six media-style texts
Construct a comparative timeline connecting three Brazilian historical periods to their cultural production
Solve ten interpretation items under a strict 90-second-per-item limit and record which distractor types misled you
Your checkpoint
A source-analysis table covering ten documents with reliability ratings and a written justification for each rating
Ciências Humanas e suas Tecnologias & Ciências da Natureza e suas Tecnologias
Summarize the core causal chains of the Brazilian republican period, the Vargas era, and the military regime in three one-page concept maps
Explain the mechanisms of natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow using three original examples and distinguish them clearly
Interpret five data tables on population, urbanization, and inequality, writing one conclusion and one limitation for each
Solve twelve genetics and probability problems that combine inheritance ratios with simple combinatorics
Your checkpoint
A mid-plan mock exam of 40 mixed items (Domains 2 and 3) scored and fully reviewed, with every error reclassified
Ciências da Natureza e suas Tecnologias & Matemática e suas Tecnologias
Derive and apply the main mechanics equations (uniform motion, acceleration, Newton's laws, energy conservation) across fifteen problems
Balance ten chemical equations and solve stoichiometry problems involving limiting reagents and yield
Compute areas and volumes of composite solids in eight geometry problems, showing each decomposition step
Interpret eight experimental descriptions, identifying hypothesis, control variables, and confounders
Your checkpoint
A formula-and-method reference sheet in your own words covering mechanics, stoichiometry, and solid geometry, validated by solving five problems per entry
Ciências da Natureza e suas Tecnologias & Matemática e suas Tecnologias
Analyze ten environmental-impact scenarios by linking energy sources, biogeochemical cycles, and human activity
Solve twelve combinatorics and probability problems, verifying each answer with a second method where possible
Read and critique six statistical graphs, identifying misleading axes, missing baselines, and sampling problems
Complete a timed 25-item quantitative block in 40 minutes and compare accuracy against your Week 1 baseline
Your checkpoint
A statistical-literacy checklist applied to six real graphs, each with a written critique of at least five lines
Linguagens, Códigos e suas Tecnologias & Ciências Humanas e suas Tecnologias & Ciências da Natureza e suas Tecnologias & Matemática e suas Tecnologias
Take two full-length timed simulations under exam conditions and log time distribution across all four domains
Repair your ten weakest error-log entries by re-solving each item type twice from scratch
Practice intertextual comparison by pairing four literary excerpts with four contemporary texts and writing a short comparative paragraph for each pair
Review the human-sciences concept maps and rewrite any causal chain you cannot reproduce from memory
Your checkpoint
A revised error log showing the ten weakest entries resolved, plus a time-management report comparing both simulations
Linguagens, Códigos e suas Tecnologias & Ciências Humanas e suas Tecnologias & Ciências da Natureza e suas Tecnologias & Matemática e suas Tecnologias
Consolidate all reference sheets into a single one-page pre-exam summary organized by domain
Complete one final timed simulation and target at least a 15 percent accuracy gain over the Week 7 average
Rehearse a fixed exam strategy for each domain: question order, skip threshold, and review time allocation
Write a self-assessment identifying the three remaining weaknesses and the specific action for each before exam day
Your checkpoint
A one-page consolidated summary sheet plus a final scored simulation report with a written self-assessment
Milestones
Week 2: Error log has at least 50 entries, and Domain 1 and Domain 4 diagnostic accuracy has improved by at least 10 percentage points on a re-test of the same item types
Week 4: The 40-item mock exam is scored, every error is reclassified by root cause, and the two weakest subtopics are named explicitly
Week 6: Quantitative block accuracy is at least 60 percent with an average of 90 seconds or less per item, verified against the Week 1 baseline
Week 8: Final simulation shows at least a 15 percent accuracy gain over the Week 7 average, and all four domains have a documented review strategy
