Week 3

Mathematics & Environmental Studies

  • Compute perimeter, area and volume of rectangles, squares, triangles and cuboids from given dimensions without a formula sheet

Your checkpoint

A formula card plus a solved set of 40 maths items (measurement, area, volume) checked against a key, with corrections written in a different colour

Week 4

  • Explain the water cycle, air and its properties, and the states of matter using diagrams you draw yourself

  • List and describe five common diseases, their modes of transmission and preventive habits taught in primary EVS

  • Explain inclusive education, individual differences and the role of motivation in learning with one example each

  • Solve 20 data-handling and pattern-recognition questions (tables, pictographs, simple bar graphs)

Your checkpoint

A full-length 60-minute mock test covering domains 1, 4 and 5, scored and reviewed with a written list of the five weakest sub-topics

Week 5

Language I & Social Studies

  • Read two unseen prose passages and answer comprehension questions on main idea, inference and vocabulary in context, justifying each answer from the text

Child Development and Pedagogy & Language I & Language II & Mathematics & Environmental Studies & Social Studies

  • Take two full-length timed mock tests under exam conditions and record section-wise scores
