GABECE study plan

GABECE · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

English Language & Mathematics

  • Write a one-page diagnostic in English summarising your current strengths and gaps in comprehension, summary writing, and letter/essay structure

  • Complete 30 mixed arithmetic and number-operation items (fractions, decimals, percentages, order of operations) under timed conditions and record your accuracy rate

  • Build a personal error log template with columns for topic, error type, and correction rule

  • Memorise and recite the structure of a formal letter and a debate-style essay outline from memory

Your checkpoint

A completed diagnostic report (English + Mathematics) with baseline scores and a ranked list of your five weakest sub-topics

Week 2

English Language & Mathematics

  • Draft four English compositions (narrative, descriptive, argumentative, formal letter) of 250-300 words each and self-edit against a checklist

  • Solve 40 algebra items covering simplification, substitution, and linear equations, showing every step

  • Apply comprehension strategies (skimming for gist, scanning for detail, inferring meaning from context) to three unseen passages and answer 5 questions each

  • Convert five word problems into equations and solve them, stating the operation chosen and why

Your checkpoint

A portfolio of four edited compositions plus a marked algebra worksheet with all working shown

Week 3

Mathematics & Integrated Science

  • Work through geometry and mensuration problems (angles, triangles, perimeter, area, volume) and label every diagram with given values

  • Interpret and draw three types of charts (bar, line, pie) from raw data, then answer two questions per chart

  • Explain in writing the processes of photosynthesis, respiration, and digestion using correct scientific vocabulary

  • Design a simple controlled experiment on plant growth, stating the hypothesis, variable, control, and expected result

Your checkpoint

A single reference sheet of formulae (geometry, mensuration, percentages) plus a one-page experiment design

Week 4

Integrated Science & Social Studies

  • Classify 20 everyday materials and organisms using taught criteria and justify each classification in one sentence

  • Summarise the physical and political geography of Ghana (regions, capitals, major rivers, neighbours) onto a hand-drawn sketch map

  • Explain three civic concepts (citizenship, rule of law, human rights) with one Ghanaian example each

  • Answer 25 Integrated Science and Social Studies multiple-choice items and log every wrong answer with the correct reasoning

Your checkpoint

A hand-drawn labelled map of Ghana with a key, plus a corrected 25-item quiz log

Week 5

Social Studies & Religious and Moral Education

  • Trace the main stages of Ghana's journey to independence and name the key figures and dates without notes

  • Compare the roles of the family, school, and religious institutions in promoting moral values, giving two examples each

  • Outline the core teachings and practices of the three major religions in Ghana and identify shared moral principles

  • Respond to four moral-dilemma scenarios in writing, stating the decision, the value applied, and the consequence

Your checkpoint

A dated timeline of Ghanaian historical milestones plus four written dilemma responses of 100 words each

Week 6

Ghanaian Language and Culture & Basic Design and Technology

  • Compose a short passage in your Ghanaian language on a familiar theme and check it against proverbs and idioms you have collected

  • Translate 20 common expressions between your Ghanaian language and English, noting where literal translation fails

  • Produce a labelled technical drawing using correct instruments (set square, compass, ruler) with accurate line types and dimensions

  • List the stages of the design process for a simple product and apply them to sketch one workable solution

Your checkpoint

A Ghanaian-language composition with an English gloss, plus one instrument-drawn technical sketch with full dimensions

Week 7

Information and Communications Technology & Basic Design and Technology

  • Demonstrate and write out the steps for five core ICT operations (file management, spreadsheet formula, word processing formatting, safe browsing, basic troubleshooting)

  • Build a spreadsheet that calculates totals, averages, and a chart from sample data

  • Explain the difference between hardware and software with three examples of each and one safety rule for each

  • Complete a past-paper-style section on Basic Design and Technology under timed conditions and mark it yourself

Your checkpoint

A working spreadsheet file with formulas and a chart, plus a self-marked timed section with a score

Week 8

English Language & Mathematics & French (optional elective) & Creative Arts and Career Technology

  • Sit two full timed mock papers (English and Mathematics) under exam conditions and score them against a mark scheme

  • Review every error from the mocks and redo each one correctly without looking at the answer

  • Revise French greetings, numbers, and classroom phrases if taking the elective, or spend the time on Creative Arts portfolio pieces

  • Write a one-page exam-day plan covering timing per section, question order, and checking routine

Your checkpoint

Two scored mock papers with a corrected error log and a written exam-day timing plan

Milestones

Week 2: You can produce a structured 250-word composition and solve linear equations unaided with at least 70% accuracy

Week 4: You can label a map of Ghana from memory and explain photosynthesis and respiration without notes

Week 6: You can write a short passage in your Ghanaian language and complete a dimensioned technical drawing using instruments

Week 8: Both mock papers are scored, every error is corrected, and your accuracy has improved over the week 1 baseline
