MAHA TET Paper 2 study plan

MAHA TET Paper 2 · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Child Development and Pedagogy

  • Map the full CDP syllabus into a one-page checklist covering development, learning, individual differences, assessment, and inclusive education

  • Define and contrast Piaget's, Vygotsky's, and Kohlberg's stage frameworks in your own words without notes

  • Build a 40-item glossary of CDP terms (schema, ZPD, scaffolding, conservation, egocentrism, moral reasoning) with one classroom example each

  • Solve 25 CDP multiple-choice items and log the exact concept behind every wrong answer

Your checkpoint

A dated CDP concept map plus a 40-term glossary and an error log listing every missed item with its underlying concept

Week 2

Child Development and Pedagogy

  • Explain socialization, gender, and intelligence theories (Gardner, Spearman, Guilford) and where each is applied in a classroom

  • Distinguish learning theories - behaviourist, cognitivist, constructivist, and social learning - by their classroom implications

  • Describe motivation, memory, and transfer of learning with two teaching strategies per concept

  • Write 5 short case-based answers on learning difficulties, gifted learners, and inclusive classrooms

Your checkpoint

Five handwritten case-response answers of 100–150 words each, self-scored against a rubric you write yourself

Week 3

Child Development and Pedagogy & Language I (Marathi/Hindi/Urdu/English/Gujarati etc. as opted)

  • Revise assessment and evaluation: formative vs summative, CCE, and constructing valid test items

  • Complete a full 30-question CDP mock under 30 minutes and analyse accuracy by topic

  • Diagnose your Language I strengths and gaps using a 25-item diagnostic in your chosen language

  • Draft a 20-term Language I grammar and usage sheet covering the most-tested items in your opted language

Your checkpoint

A CDP mock score sheet with topic-wise accuracy percentages, plus a Language I diagnostic result and gap list

Week 4

Language I (Marathi/Hindi/Urdu/English/Gujarati etc. as opted) & Language II (English or other language as opted)

  • Master Language I pedagogy: approaches to teaching the mother tongue, LSRW skills, and language-across-the-curriculum

  • Practise 20 Language I comprehension and grammar questions in your opted language and correct every error with a rule

  • Build a 50-word vocabulary and idiom list in Language I with usage sentences

  • Complete a 30-question English (Language II) mock covering grammar, vocabulary, comprehension, and pedagogy, and record the score

Your checkpoint

A combined Language I and Language II mock report, with every error rewritten correctly and tagged to a rule

Week 5

Language I (Marathi/Hindi/Urdu/English/Gujarati etc. as opted) & Language II (English or other language as opted)

  • Write two timed 150-word essays in Language I on education topics and self-edit for structure, vocabulary, and grammar

  • Explain Language II pedagogy: communicative approach, error correction, and teaching the four skills

  • Practise 25 Language II grammar items (tenses, voice, reported speech, prepositions) and note recurring traps

  • Read one full-length passage in each language daily and summarise it in three sentences

Your checkpoint

Two corrected essays plus a one-page error-pattern summary showing your top five recurring mistakes across both languages

Week 6

Mathematics and Science (for Mathematics/Science teacher candidates)

  • Work through the Mathematics syllabus: number systems, algebra, geometry, mensuration, and data handling, writing formula cards for each area

  • Solve 40 mixed Mathematics problems under timed conditions and rework every incorrect solution to completion

  • Revise Science content: food and nutrition, materials, the living world, motion, force, light, and electricity, with a diagram for each

  • Draft 5 pedagogy answers on mathematics and science teaching - problem-solving, activity-based learning, and assessment

Your checkpoint

A formula and concept card set plus a solved-error notebook showing 100% corrected Mathematics problems

Week 7

Mathematics and Science (for Mathematics/Science teacher candidates)

  • Complete two full 30-question Mathematics and Science mocks and compare topic-wise accuracy between them

  • Explain Science pedagogy: the scientific method, laboratory safety, and inquiry-based instruction

  • Revisit the five weakest Mathematics and Science topics and solve 10 targeted questions per topic

  • Summarise each Science chapter into a five-line recall note

Your checkpoint

A comparison table of two mock scores by topic, plus a set of one-page recall notes for every Science unit

Week 8

Child Development and Pedagogy & Language I (Marathi/Hindi/Urdu/English/Gujarati etc. as opted) & Language II (English or other language as opted) & Mathematics and Science (for Mathematics/Science teacher candidates) & Social Science (for Social Science teacher candidates)

  • Take three full-length timed mock tests replicating the real pattern and weightage, and record scores for each

  • Review every error across all domains and re-learn the weakest 15 concepts

  • Drill high-yield CDP and pedagogy facts, plus your opted Social Science or Mathematics/Science strand, in 20-minute flash sessions

  • Finalise exam-day logistics: admit card, ID, reporting time, and a one-page revision sheet for the last hour

Your checkpoint

Three completed full-length mock scorecards with a final one-page high-yield revision sheet

Milestones

Week 2: You can explain Piaget, Vygotsky, Kohlberg, and the major learning theories from memory, and you have scored at least 60% on a 30-question CDP set

Week 4: Your CDP mock accuracy is at least 65%, and your Language I and Language II diagnostics show a named rule behind every error

Week 6: You have corrected every Mathematics problem you attempted and can state the formula or concept for each without notes

Week 8: Your last full-length mock is at or above your target cut-off, with no domain below 55% accuracy
