TS TET Paper 1 study plan

Solve 120 arithmetic items covering place value, the four operations, LCM/HCF and fractions, tagging every wrong answer by error type (concept, calculation, misread).

Map the EVS Paper-I syllabus into six threads - family and friends, food, shelter, water, travel, things we make and do - and mark each subtopic as 'can explain aloud' or 'blank'.

Build a one-page conversion and formula card for length, mass, capacity, time and money, then reproduce it from memory in under five minutes.

Draft ten activity-based EVS questions with answer keys on plants and water sources, phrased the way a class-IV teacher would ask them.

Solve 80 geometry and measurement problems - shapes, symmetry, perimeter, area by counting squares, time intervals - holding to 90 seconds per item.

Explain aloud, in under two minutes each, fifteen everyday EVS phenomena such as why we cook food, how water is purified and how a food chain works, using correct terms.

Draw and label from memory twenty standard diagrams: parts of a plant, water cycle, life cycle of a butterfly, food chain, and the four directions.

Convert 25 EVS textbook activities into single-line activity-based question stems with the expected answer.

Draw a concept map linking Piaget's four stages, Vygotsky's ZPD and scaffolding, and Kohlberg's levels to one classroom example each.

Write twelve two-line classroom scenarios and name the developmental principle or learning theory each one illustrates.

Tabulate behaviourism, constructivism, social learning and multiple intelligences by key proponent, core claim, and one teaching implication.

Solve 60 data-handling and pattern items plus 35 pedagogy-of-mathematics questions on error analysis, teaching aids and evaluation.

Summarise in your own words the assessment, inclusive-education and individual-differences topics: CCE, formative versus summative, learning difficulties, and marginalisation.

Classify 30 EVS test items by Bloom's level to see how recall-heavy your current preparation is, then rewrite ten of them as application or analysis items.

Resolve every open item in the week-1 EVS checklist so no subtopic stays blank.

Sit a 90-question mock of CDP, Math and EVS (30 each) in one 90-minute block with no notes.

Work through 20 Language I comprehension passages, capping each at four minutes, and record the question types you lose marks on.

Drill the Language I grammar items that recur - sandhi, samasa, tenses, voice, synonyms and antonyms - at 40 items per sitting, twice this week.

List the Language I pedagogy points - acquisition versus learning, LSRW sequencing, teaching aids, remedial teaching, evaluation - with one classroom example each.

Re-explain the four hardest CDP topics from week 4 to an imagined colleague without notes.

Solve 15 English comprehension passages and 60 grammar items covering articles, prepositions, tenses, direct-to-indirect speech and active-to-passive voice.

Write 30 short-answer English pedagogy responses on the role of listening and speaking, phonics versus whole-word approaches, and error correction.

Compare the Language I and Language II pedagogy syllabi side by side and mark the overlapping ideas so you revise them once instead of twice.

Time two 30-question language sectionals back to back to build stamina for the merged paper.

Re-solve every item from your error register in Math and EVS and close each entry only after a clean second attempt.

Run four timed 30-question sectionals - two Math, two EVS - and hold above 75% on each.

Memorise the 25 highest-yield Math facts and EVS facts you keep missing, written as flashcards and reviewed daily.

Rehearse the arithmetic shortcuts - divisibility rules, fraction comparison, unit conversion - until each takes under 30 seconds.

Sit two full-length 150-question mocks under 2.5-hour timing, distributing time as 30 minutes per section.

Review each mock the same day and rewrite the ten costliest mistakes as one-line rules.

Recite the CDP theorists, stages and assessment terms from memory in a single 20-minute sweep, twice this week.

Skim the Language II grammar rule sheet and the Language I error list once daily, without attempting new topics.
