IB JIO Grade-II Technical study plan

IB JIO Grade-II Technical · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Computer Fundamentals, Networking and Cyber Awareness & Electronics and Communication Systems

  • Map the syllabus of Computer Fundamentals and Electronics into a one-page checklist of subtopics, then rank each subtopic by your current confidence on a 1-5 scale

  • Define and contrast the core hardware vocabulary (CPU, ALU, registers, cache, RAM vs ROM, bus types, motherboard, storage interfaces) in writing without consulting notes

  • Convert between number systems (binary, octal, decimal, hexadecimal) and perform two's complement arithmetic on at least 20 practice items

  • Draw and label the OSI and TCP/IP layer models from memory and state the protocol and device operating at each layer

  • Build a personal glossary of at least 40 networking terms with one-line original definitions

Your checkpoint

A dated 40-term networking and hardware glossary plus a completed self-assessment checklist showing confidence scores for every syllabus subtopic

Week 2

Computer Fundamentals, Networking and Cyber Awareness & Electronics and Communication Systems

  • Explain the difference between circuit switching and packet switching and describe how a packet travels from a browser to a web server, hop by hop

  • Calculate subnet parameters (network address, broadcast address, usable host range, number of subnets) for at least 15 CIDR problems

  • Classify the main modulation techniques (AM, FM, ASK, FSK, PSK, QAM) and state one practical application of each

  • Compute bandwidth, bit rate, and channel capacity using the Nyquist and Shannon formulas on 10 numerical problems

  • Summarize five common cyber threats (phishing, ransomware, man-in-the-middle, SQL injection, DDoS) and one concrete defence against each

Your checkpoint

A worked problem set of 15 subnetting calculations and 10 channel-capacity calculations, all with answers checked and errors annotated

Week 3

Physics (Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, Optics, Modern Physics) & Mathematics (Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, Statistics)

  • Solve at least 30 mechanics problems covering Newton's laws, friction, work-energy, momentum conservation, and circular motion

  • Derive and apply the equations of uniformly accelerated motion and projectile motion to 10 problems

  • Practice 25 algebra problems on quadratics, progressions, logarithms, and permutations and combinations

  • Build a formula sheet for mechanics and algebra limited to one page in your own words

  • Record every wrong answer in an error log with the reason for the mistake (concept gap, calculation slip, misread question)

Your checkpoint

A one-page handwritten mechanics and algebra formula sheet plus an error log of at least 20 entries from this week's practice

Week 4

Physics (Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, Optics, Modern Physics) & Mathematics (Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, Statistics)

  • Solve 25 electricity and magnetism problems on Ohm's law, series and parallel networks, Kirchhoff's laws, capacitors, and magnetic force on a conductor

  • Solve 15 optics problems on reflection, refraction, lenses, mirrors, and the lens formula, including sign conventions

  • Apply differentiation and integration to 20 problems on rates of change, maxima and minima, and definite integrals

  • Compute mean, median, mode, standard deviation, and variance for at least 8 data sets by hand

  • Re-derive from memory the three most frequently missed formulas identified in your error log

Your checkpoint

A closed-book timed mini-test of 25 mixed physics and mathematics questions, scored and reviewed question by question

Week 5

Physics (Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, Optics, Modern Physics) & Mathematics (Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, Statistics)

  • Solve 20 modern physics problems on photoelectric effect, atomic models, nuclear decay, and mass-energy equivalence

  • Solve 20 trigonometry problems including identities, heights and distances, and inverse functions

  • Solve 15 calculus problems on limits, continuity, and curve sketching

  • Explain in writing how a p-n junction diode, a transistor in common-emitter configuration, and a rectifier circuit behave

  • Review the full error log and rewrite corrected solutions for every entry

Your checkpoint

A corrected solutions booklet covering every error logged in weeks 1-4, with each fix explained in one paragraph

Week 6

Quantitative Aptitude and Numerical Ability & General Intelligence and Reasoning

  • Solve 40 numerical ability problems on percentages, ratio and proportion, averages, profit and loss, and simple and compound interest

  • Solve 30 reasoning problems on series completion, coding-decoding, blood relations, direction sense, and syllogisms

  • Practice 10 seating-arrangement and 10 data-interpretation sets under a five-minute-per-set limit

  • Identify and write down three shortcut techniques for each of the two weakest reasoning question types

  • Time yourself on a 30-question mixed set and record the time spent per question type

Your checkpoint

A timed 30-question aptitude and reasoning test completed with a per-question-type timing breakdown and a short note on where time was lost

Week 7

English Language and Comprehension & General Awareness and Current Affairs

  • Complete 20 reading-comprehension passages and justify each answer by quoting the exact supporting line

  • Correct 50 grammar and usage items covering subject-verb agreement, tense, articles, prepositions, and active-passive voice

  • Write 10 short paraphrases and 10 one-line summaries to practise precision and economy of language

  • Review six months of current affairs in science, technology, defence, and space, and note 30 key facts with dates

  • Revise the constitutional bodies, national institutions, and basic economic terminology most often tested in general awareness

Your checkpoint

A dated current-affairs fact sheet of 30 entries plus a scored comprehension and grammar practice log showing accuracy percentages

Week 8

Physics (Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, Optics, Modern Physics) & Mathematics (Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, Statistics) & Computer Fundamentals, Networking and Cyber Awareness & Electronics and Communication Systems

  • Take two full-length mock tests under exam timing and mark every uncertain answer for later review

  • Re-solve every question missed in both mocks and classify each error by domain and cause

  • Revisit the weakest two domains identified by mock scores and solve 20 targeted questions in each

  • Recite from memory the one-page formula sheets and the 40-term glossary, checking for gaps
