Mathematics and Science (for Mathematics/Science teachers) & Child Development and Pedagogy
Map the full Mathematics and Science syllabus into a checklist of topics, marking each as strong, shaky, or unknown.
Solve 30 mixed problems from Class 9–10 Mathematics (number systems, algebra, geometry) and log every error with its cause.
Review the major child-development theorists (Piaget, Vygotsky, Kohlberg, Erikson) and write a one-line summary of each stage.
Define 25 key pedagogy terms (constructivism, scaffolding, ZPD, formative assessment) in your own words.
Your checkpoint
A dated error log with at least 30 solved Mathematics items and a one-page glossary of 25 pedagogy terms.
Mathematics and Science (for Mathematics/Science teachers)
Solve 40 Mathematics problems covering mensuration, trigonometry, and statistics, timing each set to exam pace.
Explain aloud, without notes, five core Science concepts (Newton's laws, photosynthesis, acids and bases, electric circuits, human digestion).
Complete 30 Science multiple-choice questions and classify each mistake as conceptual, calculation, or misreading.
Build a formula sheet for Mathematics and a unit-conversion table for Science.
Your checkpoint
A completed formula sheet plus a 30-question Science quiz score recorded with an error-type breakdown.
Language I (Hindi or regional language) & Language II (English)
Read one Hindi passage daily and answer comprehension questions, identifying the main idea and inference in each.
Revise Hindi grammar rules (sandhi, samas, muhavare) and use each in a sentence you compose.
Practise 20 English grammar and vocabulary items (tenses, prepositions, synonyms) and record the rule behind each answer.
Write two short English paragraphs (120 words each) on an educational topic and self-edit for grammar and clarity.
Your checkpoint
A language portfolio containing five solved Hindi comprehension passages, 20 English grammar items with rules, and two edited English paragraphs.
Language I (Hindi or regional language) & Language II (English) & Child Development and Pedagogy
Complete a full-length Language I (Hindi) mock section under timed conditions and score it.
Complete a full-length Language II (English) mock section under timed conditions and score it.
Review child-development topics on learning, motivation, and inclusive education, and connect each to a classroom example.
Identify your three weakest sub-skills across languages and pedagogy and write a targeted fix for each.
Your checkpoint
Two scored language mock sections with a written remediation plan for the three weakest sub-skills.
Social Studies/Social Science (for Social Science teachers)
Build a timeline of Indian history from the Indus Valley to independence, with 10 key dates and events.
Summarise the Indian Constitution: fundamental rights, duties, and the three tiers of government, in a one-page diagram.
Label a blank map of India with states, rivers, and major physical features from memory.
Answer 30 Social Science questions covering history, civics, and geography, and log errors by theme.
Your checkpoint
A hand-drawn India map with 15 labelled features and a 30-question Social Science quiz with error log.
Social Studies/Social Science (for Social Science teachers) & Mathematics and Science (for Mathematics/Science teachers)
Explain five Social Science pedagogy concepts (inquiry-based learning, source analysis, map skills, timelines, case studies) with a classroom activity for each.
Re-solve 25 previously missed Mathematics and Science problems and confirm each is now correct.
Complete a mixed 40-question set spanning Social Science and Mathematics/Science under timed conditions.
Write a one-page comparison of how you would teach the same topic to Class 6 versus Class 10.
Your checkpoint
A timed 40-question mixed set score plus a one-page class-level differentiation note.
Child Development and Pedagogy & Language I (Hindi or regional language) & Language II (English) & Mathematics and Science (for Mathematics/Science teachers) & Social Studies/Social Science (for Social Science teachers)
Take one full-length mock test covering all five domains under strict exam timing.
Analyse the mock by domain and sub-skill, ranking the five biggest score leaks.
Re-study only the top three score leaks using your error logs and notes.
Recite the pedagogy glossary and formula sheet from memory in a five-minute self-quiz.
Your checkpoint
A full mock test score report with a ranked list of five score leaks and evidence of re-study for the top three.
Child Development and Pedagogy & Mathematics and Science (for Mathematics/Science teachers) & Social Studies/Social Science (for Social Science teachers)
Take a second full-length mock test and compare domain scores with Week 7.
Review every remaining flagged item in your error logs across all domains.
Practise 20 rapid-fire questions per heavy domain (Mathematics/Science and Social Science) at exam speed.
Finalise a one-page exam-day strategy covering time allocation per section and question order.
Your checkpoint
A second mock score report showing improvement over Week 7 and a completed one-page exam-day strategy sheet.
Milestones
Week 2: You can state your baseline accuracy in Mathematics and Science from at least 70 attempted questions, and your error log shows fewer calculation errors than in Week 1.
Week 4: Both language mock sections are scored above 60%, and you can name the exact sub-skills dragging each score down.
Week 6: You reproduce the India map with at least 12 of 15 features correct and score above 65% on the mixed Social Science and Mathematics/Science set.
Week 8: Your second full mock shows a higher total than Week 7, and no domain remains below 55% accuracy.
