European Baccalaureate Language 2 Advanced study plan

Diagnose current writing performance by completing one past-paper-style L1 essay and one L2 essay under timed conditions, then score each against the official assessment criteria to identify specific weaknesses.

Build a personal error log for L1 and L2 that categorises recurring grammar, vocabulary, and structure mistakes from the diagnostic essays into at least five actionable patterns.

Create a weekly writing schedule that allocates at least three sessions to L1 and three to L2, specifying which text types (e.g., argumentative, analytical, creative) will be practised each week.

Compile a list of 20 high-frequency academic connectors and discourse markers for each language and practise using them in short paragraph-level exercises.

Write two full L1 essays (one analytical, one argumentative) under exam timing, then revise each using the error log and teacher/peer feedback.

Write two full L2 essays (one formal letter, one opinion piece) under exam timing, focusing on accurate use of subjunctive and conditional structures.

Memorise and apply 15 new advanced vocabulary items per language in context by writing sentences that demonstrate nuanced usage.

Analyse two model essays per language to identify how topic sentences, evidence, and counterarguments are structured, and produce an outline template for each text type.

Complete a full timed L1 past paper under exam conditions, including planning and proofreading, and self-assess using the official mark scheme.

Complete a full timed L2 past paper under exam conditions, and compare performance against the week 1 diagnostic to measure improvement.

Refine the error log by categorising remaining mistakes into grammar, vocabulary, coherence, and task response, then create targeted drills for the top three categories.

Practise summarising and paraphrasing complex source texts in both languages to improve conciseness and accuracy.

Diagnose current mathematics performance by completing a full past paper under timed conditions, then classify every error by topic (e.g., calculus, algebra, probability) and error type (conceptual, procedural, careless).

Create a formula sheet for each mathematics topic on the syllabus, including key theorems, identities, and standard integrals, and verify it against the official syllabus.

Solve 30 targeted problems from the two weakest topic areas identified in the diagnostic, focusing on understanding rather than speed.

Establish a weekly mathematics problem-solving routine that includes at least 10 mixed problems per session to maintain breadth.

Complete two full mathematics past papers under timed conditions and reduce careless errors by at least 50% compared to the week 4 diagnostic.

Select the two further written examination subjects and obtain the official syllabi; for each, list all topics and identify prior knowledge gaps.

For each further subject, complete one diagnostic task (e.g., a past paper section or a set of representative questions) to establish a baseline score.

Draft a study schedule for the two further subjects that allocates at least two sessions per week to each until the exam.

Master the three most challenging mathematics topics identified in week 5 by solving 20 problems per topic and writing summary notes with worked examples.

For each further subject, complete two topic-specific practice sets and review errors against the syllabus learning outcomes.

Create condensed revision notes (one page per topic) for the further subjects, using diagrams and mnemonics where appropriate.

Simulate exam conditions for one further subject by completing a full past paper within the time limit and self-assessing.

Prepare for oral examinations by drafting and memorising responses to 20 likely questions across the chosen oral subjects (L1, L2, or a subject taught through L2), focusing on fluency and accurate pronunciation.

Record and review three mock oral responses per language or subject, then identify and correct at least five recurring pronunciation or grammar issues.

Conduct two full mock oral examinations with a teacher or proficient peer, incorporating feedback into a refined oral presentation outline.

Review L1 written work by completing one timed essay and comparing it to week 3 to ensure retention of skills.

Complete a full timed mock examination for each of the five domains under authentic conditions, including breaks, to build stamina and time management.

Review all error logs and formula sheets, and create a one-page 'final reminders' sheet for each domain highlighting common pitfalls and key strategies.

Revisit the weakest topics from weeks 5–7 and solve 10 targeted problems or write 10 targeted sentences per weakness to consolidate learning.

Finalise oral examination preparation by rehearsing the full oral sequence twice, focusing on confident delivery and handling unexpected questions.
