Berlin Abitur Math LK study plan

Berlin Abitur Math LK · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Analysis

  • Set up a formula and method sheet for Analysis and write down every derivative, integral, and limit rule you must know without help

  • Differentiate and integrate polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, sine, and cosine functions in 40 mixed exercises, checking each result by differentiating back

  • Master the chain, product, and quotient rules by solving 15 composite problems and explaining each step aloud

  • Practise substitution and partial integration until you can choose the right method within 30 seconds of reading a problem

Your checkpoint

A handwritten one-page Analysis rule sheet plus a completed 40-item exercise log with error notes

Week 2

Analysis

  • Analyse rational and exponential functions completely: domain, symmetry, zeros, asymptotes, extrema, and inflection points

  • Sketch five full curves from their equations and justify every feature with a calculation

  • Solve applied optimisation and reconstruction problems, including a volume-maximisation and a tangent-line task

  • Interpret the graph of a derivative function and reconstruct the original function qualitatively

Your checkpoint

Five complete curve-discussion write-ups, each with a labelled sketch and verified extrema

Week 3

Analysis

  • Compute definite integrals and areas between curves, including split intervals where curves cross

  • Apply the fundamental theorem and handle improper integrals with a limit at a boundary

  • Model real situations with exponential growth and decay, including doubling time and half-life questions

  • Solve three Abitur-style Analysis tasks under timed conditions and mark them with the official point scheme

Your checkpoint

Three timed Analysis tasks (90 minutes each) scored against a points scheme, with a list of recurring mistakes

Week 4

Lineare Algebra / Analytische Geometrie

  • Perform vector operations confidently: addition, scalar multiplication, dot product, cross product, and magnitude

  • Determine positions of points, lines, and planes and convert between parameter, normal, and coordinate forms

  • Solve intersection problems between lines and planes and classify the three possible outcomes

  • Compute distances from a point to a line and to a plane using both projection and the cross-product method

Your checkpoint

A comparison sheet showing each geometric object in all its equation forms, plus 20 solved intersection and distance problems

Week 5

Lineare Algebra / Analytische Geometrie

  • Set up and solve systems of linear equations using Gaussian elimination and interpret the solution set geometrically

  • Investigate matrices for invertibility and compute inverses where they exist

  • Apply matrices to geometric mappings such as rotation, reflection, and scaling in the plane

  • Solve a full three-part Abitur geometry task with a real-world context such as a roof or a pyramid

Your checkpoint

One complete Abitur-style geometry task solved and self-marked, including a coordinate-free justification section

Week 6

Stochastik

  • Model random experiments with tree diagrams and compute probabilities using the multiplication and addition rules

  • Work fluently with the binomial distribution: recognise its conditions and compute probabilities with the formula and the cumulative table

  • Calculate expected value, variance, and standard deviation for discrete distributions and interpret the results

  • Solve inverse binomial problems that ask for the required number of trials or the threshold probability

Your checkpoint

A one-page decision guide for choosing between binomial, hypergeometric, and tree-diagram approaches, tested on 15 mixed problems

Week 7

Stochastik & Analysis

  • Carry out one- and two-sided hypothesis tests for a proportion, including choosing the null hypothesis and stating the rejection region

  • Compute and interpret the errors of the first and second kind and explain the effect of changing the sample size

  • Build confidence intervals for a proportion and interpret their width

  • Revisit the Analysis topics that caused the most errors in week 3 and redo those tasks from scratch

Your checkpoint

Two complete hypothesis-test write-ups with full decision and error analysis, plus a corrected set of the week-3 error tasks

Week 8

Analysis & Lineare Algebra / Analytische Geometrie & Stochastik

  • Complete three full mock exams under strict timing, one per domain focus, using only permitted aids

  • Mark every mock against the official point scheme and record the score per task type

  • Drill your weakest two task types until you reach at least 80 percent of the points in a fresh task

  • Write a final one-page exam strategy sheet covering time allocation, order of tasks, and check routines

Your checkpoint

A score table for three mock exams showing improvement, plus a finished one-page exam strategy sheet

Week 4: You solve a mixed line-plane intersection and distance problem set with at least 80 percent correct answers without consulting notes

Week 6: You correctly classify and solve 12 of 15 mixed probability problems and can justify each chosen model in one sentence
