Bihar STET Paper 2 · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Child Development and Pedagogy

  • Map the Child Development and Pedagogy syllabus into a one-page checklist of sub-units and mark your current confidence for each

  • Define development, growth, maturation and readiness in your own words and distinguish them with one classroom example each

  • Trace Piaget's four stages and list the key cognitive achievement and limitation of each stage

  • Build a 30-item self-test on Piaget and Vygotsky concepts and record your baseline score

Your checkpoint

A one-page syllabus checklist with confidence ratings plus a scored 30-item baseline self-test on developmental theory

Week 2

Child Development and Pedagogy

  • Compare Kohlberg's stages of moral reasoning with Gilligan's critique and write one dilemma-based example per stage

  • Explain Vygotsky's ZPD, scaffolding and social interaction, and design two scaffolding moves for a mixed-ability class

  • Summarise language and cognitive development milestones from infancy to adolescence in a table

  • Solve 40 practice questions on development and learning theories, then write corrections for every wrong answer

Your checkpoint

A one-page milestone table plus a corrected 40-question practice set with written reasons for each error

Week 3

Child Development and Pedagogy

  • Distinguish intelligence, aptitude, creativity and achievement, and match each to an appropriate assessment use

  • Describe individual differences in learning styles, motivation and socio-emotional development, and state two inclusive classroom responses

  • Explain learning disabilities, dyslexia, dyscalculia and ADHD with one identification indicator and one support strategy each

  • Draft a 15-item quiz on individual differences and inclusive education and answer it closed-book

Your checkpoint

An inclusive-practice note card set (at least 8 conditions) plus a self-made 15-item quiz scored closed-book

Week 4

Child Development and Pedagogy

  • Differentiate assessment for learning, assessment of learning and assessment as learning with concrete classroom examples

  • Apply Bloom's revised taxonomy to write one learning objective at each of the six levels for a topic you will teach

  • Interpret a set of raw scores by computing mean, median and mode and explaining what each reveals about a class

  • Complete a full-length Domain 1 mock section under timed conditions and review every item

Your checkpoint

A timed Domain 1 mock with a score log, error categories and a written revision list for weak sub-units

Week 5

Language I (compulsory) & Language II (compulsory)

  • Audit both language syllabi and list every grammar, comprehension and pedagogy sub-unit with a confidence rating

  • Revise core grammar for Language I and Language II: tense, voice, reported speech, articles, prepositions and concord, with 20 sentences corrected per area

  • Practice two unseen comprehension passages per language under a 10-minute limit each and mark inference questions you missed

  • Learn the pedagogy of language teaching: LSRW skills, communicative approach, remedial teaching and error analysis, and note two classroom applications of each

Your checkpoint

A grammar error log of at least 60 corrected sentences plus two timed comprehension attempts per language with error notes

Week 6

Language I (compulsory) & Language II (compulsory)

  • Explain first-language and second-language acquisition theories and their classroom implications in a short written summary

  • Write one 150-word original composition in each language and self-edit against a checklist of structure, vocabulary and accuracy

  • Complete 50 practice items across both language domains and classify each error as knowledge, careless or comprehension failure

  • Memorise 40 high-frequency vocabulary and idiom items per language and test yourself two days later

Your checkpoint

Two self-edited compositions plus a 50-item language practice set with a three-category error tally

Week 7

Mathematics and Science (for Mathematics/Science teachers) & Social Science (for Social Science teachers)

  • Select your subject track (Mathematics and Science, or Social Science) and map its syllabus into weighted sub-units based on likely question share

  • Work through 60 subject-track practice questions, prioritising the two heaviest sub-units identified in your map

  • Relearn any formula, definition or date cluster you missed twice by writing it on a single revision sheet per sub-unit

  • Write a 10-item self-test on your weakest sub-unit and score it without notes

Your checkpoint

A weighted subject-track syllabus map, a 60-question practice log with corrections, and one revision sheet per weak sub-unit

Week 8

Child Development and Pedagogy & Language I (compulsory) & Language II (compulsory) & Mathematics and Science (for Mathematics/Science teachers) & Social Science (for Social Science teachers)

  • Take two full-length timed mock tests covering all five domains and record section-wise scores

  • Revisit only the highest-frequency errors from weeks 1 to 7, using your error logs rather than re-reading everything

  • Recite your condensed revision sheets for child development, grammar rules and your subject track twice

  • Simulate exam-day logistics: sitting time, reading the paper, and time allocation per domain, then adjust your plan

Your checkpoint

Two scored full-length mocks with a final one-page revision sheet and a written time-allocation strategy
