UFAM PSC study plan

UFAM PSC · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Linguagens, Códigos e suas Tecnologias & Matemática e suas Tecnologias

  • 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

Week 2

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

Week 3

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

Week 4

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

Week 5

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

Week 6

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

Week 7

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

Week 8

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
