Milestones
Week 2: You can solve postgraduate-level questions on your two weakest Domain 1 sub-units at 60% or better accuracy without notes
Week 4: You have a full mock-test baseline score for Domain 1 and three written lesson plans that another teacher could teach from
Week 6: Reasoning and general-awareness sectional accuracy is stable at 65% or better across two timed tests, and you have written passages in both languages
Week 8: Final mock score exceeds your week 4 baseline in every domain, and every error in your log has a recorded corrective action
