PAU General Sciences (Aragón) study plan

PAU General Sciences (Aragón) · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

General sciences (materias de modalidad de Ciencias)

  • Inventory the full syllabus of the Ciencias modality subjects (Mathematics II, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and any subject you will sit) and rank each block by exam weight and your own diagnostic weakness.

  • Solve one full past-paper section per heavy subject under timed conditions to establish a baseline score for each block.

  • Build a single error log spreadsheet with columns for subject, block, error type (concept, calculation, units, misread), and date to be reviewed.

  • Write down the exact formulas and constants sheet you are allowed to use, and confirm which ones must be memorized.

Your checkpoint

A one-page diagnostic report listing baseline scores per subject block plus a ranked priority list of the five weakest blocks.

Week 2

General sciences (materias de modalidad de Ciencias)

  • Re-derive from memory the core Mathematics II techniques: limits, continuity, derivatives, and their applications to optimization and graph sketching.

  • Work through 30 derivative and limit exercises graded by difficulty, correcting each wrong answer in the error log the same day.

  • Memorize the standard derivative and integral tables and reproduce them from blank paper twice this week.

  • Practise translating word problems into equations before solving, focusing on rate, area, and optimization setups.

Your checkpoint

A completed set of 30 graded calculus exercises with a written correction note for every mistake.

Week 3

General sciences (materias de modalidad de Ciencias)

  • Master integration techniques: immediate integrals, substitution, integration by parts, and area between curves.

  • Solve 20 definite and indefinite integrals and 5 area problems, checking units and limits of integration each time.

  • Review matrices and determinants: rank, inverse, and solving linear systems by Gauss elimination.

  • Complete a 45-minute timed mini-test mixing calculus and linear algebra, then review every error against the log.

Your checkpoint

A timed mini-test scored and corrected, with a table showing improvement versus the week 1 baseline.

Week 4

General sciences (materias de modalidad de Ciencias)

  • Consolidate Physics mechanics: kinematics, Newton's laws, work-energy, and conservation of momentum.

  • Solve 25 mechanics problems, always drawing a free-body diagram and stating the reference frame and sign convention.

  • Memorize and apply the key formulas for uniform and uniformly accelerated motion, circular motion, and energy conservation.

  • Run a 50-minute timed mechanics section and record the score in the error log.

Your checkpoint

A mechanics problem portfolio of 25 solved problems, each with a diagram and a one-line justification of the chosen principle.

Week 5

General sciences (materias de modalidad de Ciencias)

  • Cover Physics fields and electromagnetism: electric field and potential, circuits, magnetic field, and induction.

  • Solve 20 electromagnetism problems, explicitly checking unit consistency (SI) and vector directions.

  • Review Chemistry atomic structure, periodic trends, and chemical bonding, and summarize the exceptions you keep forgetting.

  • Redo all errors logged in weeks 2 to 4 and mark any that are still unresolved.

Your checkpoint

A consolidated error-review sheet showing which logged mistakes are now resolved and which remain open.

Week 6

General sciences (materias de modalidad de Ciencias)

  • Master Chemistry stoichiometry, gas laws, and solution calculations, including limiting reagent and yield problems.

  • Solve 20 stoichiometry and equilibrium problems with full dimensional analysis written out.

  • Review acid-base and redox chemistry, balancing at least 10 redox equations in both acidic and basic media.

  • Complete a 60-minute mixed Chemistry test and correct it against the log.

Your checkpoint

A 60-minute Chemistry test scored, corrected, and annotated with the rule or formula missed for each error.

Week 7

General sciences (materias de modalidad de Ciencias)

  • Review Biology cells, genetics, and metabolism, and practise interpreting pedigree and cross problems.

  • Solve 15 genetics problems and 10 metabolism or enzyme-kinetics questions, showing each step of reasoning.

  • Rehearse exam technique: allocate time per section, read the whole paper first, and decide question order in advance.

  • Sit one full past paper under strict exam timing with no notes and no interruptions.

Your checkpoint

A full timed past paper completed under exam conditions with a section-by-section time and score breakdown.

Week 8

General sciences (materias de modalidad de Ciencias)

  • Sit two more full timed past papers, alternating the subjects you will actually choose, and score them honestly.

  • Target only the open errors from the log, closing each one with a written rule you will apply next time.

  • Condense all notes into a final two-page formula and concept sheet per subject for last-minute review.

  • Simulate the real schedule by practising at the same time of day as the exam and rehearse the allowed materials.

Your checkpoint

Final two-page summary sheet per subject plus a closed-error report showing every logged mistake resolved or consciously deprioritized.

Milestones

Week 2: Baseline established and calculus fundamentals re-derived from memory; at least 80 percent of week 2 exercises corrected in the error log.

Week 4: Calculus and linear algebra mini-test score at least 15 percentage points above the week 1 baseline, with mechanics problems solved using diagrams.

Week 6: Physics and Chemistry blocks covered; mixed Chemistry test passed at your target grade and all week 2 to 4 errors reviewed.

Week 8: Three full timed past papers completed, final summary sheets produced, and every open error either resolved or explicitly deprioritized with a reason.
