Drill the eight nominal case endings (vibhakti) for a-stem masculine, a-stem neuter and ā-stem feminine nouns by declining twenty randomly chosen words aloud and on paper

Read two prescribed prose passages slowly, marking every sandhi junction and compound word before consulting any commentary

Build a personal sandhi error log with at least twenty examples drawn from your own mistakes and label each by rule name

Conjugate the present tense of the ten classes for √bhū, √paṭh, √nī, √kṛ and √as in all three persons and both numbers, then extend to the imperfect and imperative

Master the six main samāsa types by splitting and recombining fifty compounds taken from prescribed prose lessons

Summarise the plot, characters and central theme of each prescribed prose text in one page of Sanskrit-free notes each

Translate five short prose sentences from Sanskrit into Hindi and five from Hindi into Sanskrit, checking case government carefully

Write out each prescribed prose passage's difficult-word glossary and memorise at least sixty vocabulary items with their grammatical gender

Analyse every prescribed verse for metre (identify anuṣṭubh, indravajrā, upajāti, vasantatilakā, śārdūlavikrīḍita and mālinī by scanning gaṇa patterns)

Name the poet, work and context for every prescribed verse and record it in a single reference table

Memorise and recite at least ten prescribed verses with correct metre and sandhi splitting

Read one prescribed drama act by act and map the saṃskṛta stage conventions: nāndī, sūtradhāra, viṣkambhaka, praveśaka and the types of hero and heroine

Compare two prescribed dramatists on style, characterisation and use of Prakrit versus Sanskrit speech

Draft a short written appreciation of one prescribed verse explaining how its alaṃkāra supports its rasa

Place the major dramatists and epic authors on a chronological timeline with approximate periods and one defining work each

Summarise the contribution of the major poets and prose writers to their genres in a single comparative chart

Answer five short-essay questions on literary history under timed conditions

Complete thirty unseen Sanskrit-to-Hindi and thirty Hindi-to-Sanskrit sentence translations, timing each set at fifteen minutes

Revise the full verb system: perfect, future, conditional, passive, causative and desiderative, with ten forms each for three roots

Practise comprehension by reading unseen prose passages and answering five questions each without a dictionary

Return to the week-one error log and confirm every sandhi and declension mistake is now corrected

Write three Sanskrit essays of 150 to 200 words on prescribed-style topics using correct sandhi, compounds and case endings

Draft and revise a letter, a notice and a short paragraph-summary in Sanskrit, checking register and agreement

Consolidate literary history into fifty flashcard-style facts and test yourself until recall is automatic

Translate one prescribed verse into Hindi and one into English, comparing how each language handles the compound structure

Sit two full-length timed mock papers under exam conditions and mark them strictly against the syllabus weightings

Re-drill only the topics that produced errors in the mocks, spending no more than two hours on any single weak area

Recite all memorised verses and re-scan their metres one final time

Review the personal error logs from weeks one to seven and confirm closure on every logged item
