PSTET Paper 2 study plan

Map the full Child Development and Pedagogy syllabus into a one-page concept tree covering development, learning, individual differences, and assessment

Define and write in your own words the Piaget, Vygotsky, Kohlberg, and Erikson stage frameworks, with one classroom implication each

Solve 30 mixed numeracy and basic algebra items under timed conditions to benchmark current Mathematics accuracy

Log every error from the benchmark set into a categorized error register (concept gap, calculation slip, misread, guessing)

Explain intelligence, aptitude, and personality constructs and distinguish them with concrete classroom examples

Describe inclusive education provisions, learning disabilities, and gifted-child strategies in written notes

Revise number system, LCM/HCF, ratio and proportion, and percentage by reworking 40 problems and re-solving the week-1 errors

Build a formula card for arithmetic topics with one worked example per formula

Analyze motivation, learning theories (behaviourist, cognitivist, constructivist, humanist) and transfer of learning with one applied scenario each

Summarize assessment types, CCE, and the role of feedback in a comparison table

Work through mensuration, geometry, and data handling problems, drawing every figure by hand

Draft three short pedagogical case responses where you diagnose a learner problem and prescribe a strategy

Complete the Science strand for Mathematics/Science teachers: food, materials, the world of the living, moving things, and how things work, with a concept map per unit

Solve 40 Science MCQs and classify each miss by sub-topic

Revise Language I comprehension technique: practise two unseen passages in the exam language with strict timing

List 30 Language I grammar and usage items (sandhi, samas, synonyms, antonyms, sentence correction) and answer them

Build a timeline chart of Indian history from ancient to modern with 25 anchor dates and events

Complete the Geography strand: earth, resources, climate, and Indian physical and political geography, using sketch maps

Run a full-length simulated Paper 2 under exam conditions and score each domain separately

Diagnose the three weakest sub-topics per domain and re-teach each from your own notes

Re-attempt every error from the simulation and write the reasoning for the correct option

Speed-drill 60 Mathematics and Science questions in two 30-minute blocks

Run two more full-length simulations and track score movement against week 7

Final-revise all formula cards, timelines, and concept maps in three spaced review cycles

Practise 20 Language I and Language II pedagogy questions on language acquisition, teaching methods, and remedial instruction

Consolidate a one-page cheat sheet per domain for the final 48 hours
