Sit two full-length timed mock papers and record a separate score for each of the seven domains.
Rank the seven domain scores and re-teach the two weakest domains from your own notes only, without new material.
Recite from memory the key lists (five food groups, fibre properties, immunisation schedule, extension methods, communication barriers) within ten minutes.
Convert every missed mock question into a two-line rule and re-test yourself on those rules the next day.
Your checkpoint
An error log of at least 40 missed questions, each with a corrected rule, plus a re-test score of 70% or above on a half-length repeat mock.
Milestones
Week 2: Score 80%+ on a 25-question mixed Domain 1 test and correctly label all six nutrient groups, their deficiency signs and the digestion enzyme at each step.
Week 4: Score 65%+ on a half-length mock covering Domains 1-4, and submit the 1:50 floor plan and family budget as a complete, checked pair.
Week 6: Explain water purification, waste disposal and the immunisation schedule aloud in under 15 minutes without notes, and score 70%+ on a 30-question test of Domains 5-6.
Week 8: Reach 70%+ overall on two full-length mocks with no domain below 60%, and show an error log with at least 40 corrected rules.
