BGCSE study plan

Solve 40 mixed number-and-algebra items (indices, standard form, factorisation, simultaneous equations) closed-book, marking each one and naming the rule behind every error.

Derive the quadratic formula from scratch, then apply it with Pythagoras and ratio to 12 word problems set in everyday Botswana contexts such as cost, distance and scale drawing.

Compile a one-page formula-and-method sheet from memory, check it against your textbook, and fill only the gaps the check reveals.

Answer a 45-minute timed paper assembled from textbook exercises and record your score plus time spent per question.

Work through 20 mensuration and right-triangle trigonometry problems, sketching and labelling every diagram before calculating.

Calculate mean, median, mode, range and simple probability from two real data sets, then write one interpretation sentence for each result.

Summarise a 500-word newspaper article in 100 words, keeping only main points, then score it against a checklist of summary rules.

Answer 20 comprehension questions that demand inference and vocabulary-in-context, justifying each answer with a quoted line from the passage.

Plan and write two timed compositions, one narrative and one argumentative, in 40 minutes each using a five-minute plan-write-check routine.

Correct 30 faulty sentences for tense, subject-verb concord, punctuation and register, writing the rule beside each correction.

Rewrite two weak paragraphs for clarity and cohesion by adding linking devices and varying sentence length.

Draft a formal letter and a short speech, matching format, tone and audience for each purpose.

Solve 15 Physics problems on forces, motion, energy and series/parallel circuits, showing units at every step of the working.

Balance 15 chemical equations, name the compounds formed, and calculate simple mole and concentration values.

Draw and label four Biology diagrams from memory (plant cell, leaf cross-section, heart, digestive system), then verify every label against the textbook.

Describe the method, variables, controls and safety points for three standard practicals in your science option, such as titration, Ohm's law or food tests.

Explain four applied science ideas in 4-6 line answers: household electrical wiring, acids and bases in daily life, enzyme action, and energy transfer in a named device.

Answer six source-based History questions, extracting evidence and judging the reliability of two contrasting sources.

Complete a mapwork set covering six-figure grid references, bearing, gradient, cross-section and interpretation of a climate graph.

List and apply five Development Studies indicators (GDP per capita, HDI, literacy rate, life expectancy, employment) to compare two countries.

Write two 250-word essays, on rural-urban migration and on sustainable resource use, each including at least two data points and a reasoned conclusion.

Summarise two Setswana passages of about 60 words each, in Setswana, preserving the main argument.

Apply Setswana grammar in context: ditlhopha tsa maina (noun classes), concords, and 20 diane le maele used in original sentences.

Compose one formal Setswana letter (lekwalo la semmuso) using the correct layout, opening and closing register.

Analyse two Setswana maboko (poems or praise poems), identifying theme, imagery and structure in short written answers.

Map your practical or technical option's assessment, noting how project work, practical skills and written theory are weighted.

Produce the main planning artifact your option requires: a project plan, working drawings, a menu-and-costing sheet, or a spreadsheet model.

Answer 30 theory items from your practical option, concentrating on tools, materials, safety and processes.

Sit two full-length timed mock papers covering all six domains, closed-book and under strict timing.

Score both mocks and rank topics by marks lost per study hour to build a prioritised fix list.

Condense each domain into a single revision sheet, six sheets in total, for the final 48 hours.

Rehearse exam logistics: section order, time allowed per mark, and a two-minute end-of-paper checking routine.
