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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
