Milestones
Week 2: You can produce the standard form of a line, circle, parabola, ellipse and hyperbola from given data and differentiate a composite function correctly in under 3 minutes each.
Week 4: The 30-question diagnostic across Domains 5 to 8 is scored at 60% or higher, with no more than two careless arithmetic slips.
Week 6: You solve a 3x3 determinant, a Cramer's rule system and a binomial constant-term question back to back without referring to notes.
Week 8: Both three-hour mocks are completed within time at 70% or higher, and the error log shows every Week 1 to Week 7 mistake re-solved correctly.
