Aichi Entrance Science · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Physics - mechanics, motion, forces, work and energy

  • Derive and apply the three equations of uniformly accelerated motion to solve at least 15 problems involving free fall and projectile motion

  • Draw free-body diagrams for 10 situations and write the net-force equation for each before solving

  • Distinguish clearly between distance and displacement, speed and velocity, and state which quantity each formula yields

  • Set up a personal formula sheet for mechanics with units and the conditions under which each formula is valid

Your checkpoint

A one-page mechanics formula sheet plus 15 solved kinematics problems with free-body diagrams, self-marked with a list of every error type made

Week 2

Physics - mechanics, motion, forces, work and energy

  • Apply Newton's three laws to connected-body and friction problems, stating the direction of each force explicitly

  • Compute work, kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy and power in at least 12 mixed problems

  • Verify conservation of mechanical energy in 5 problems and identify where energy is lost to friction

  • Explain the relationship between work and change in kinetic energy in your own words without looking at notes

Your checkpoint

A timed 40-minute mock section of 12 mechanics questions scored above 70%, with a written correction for every wrong answer

Week 3

Physics - electricity, current, magnetism, waves and sound

  • Apply Ohm's law and series/parallel resistance rules to compute current, voltage and power in at least 12 circuits

  • Draw circuit diagrams from word descriptions and predict how brightness or current changes when a component is added or removed

  • State the right-hand rule for current and magnetic field, and describe the force on a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field

  • Distinguish transverse from longitudinal waves and label wavelength, amplitude, frequency and period on a drawn wave

Your checkpoint

A circuit-and-waves problem set of 15 questions with diagrams, plus a summary card listing every electrical and wave formula with its unit

Week 4

Chemistry - substances and their properties, separation, states of matter

  • Classify 30 given substances as pure substances, elements, compounds or mixtures and justify each classification

  • Choose and sequence separation techniques (filtration, distillation, chromatography, recrystallisation) for 8 described mixtures

  • Describe the particle model of solids, liquids and gases and use it to explain changes of state, diffusion and gas pressure

  • Interpret a heating curve and identify melting and boiling points from it

Your checkpoint

A classification-and-separation worksheet of 20 items scored at 80% or better, with a corrected heating-curve diagram fully labelled

Week 5

Chemistry - chemical reactions, equations, ions, acids and bases, oxidation and reduction

  • Write and balance at least 20 chemical equations, including combustion and neutralisation, and check atom counts

  • Predict products of reactions between metals, acids, bases and carbonates using a reactivity series

  • Explain ion formation and write ionic equations for precipitation and neutralisation reactions

  • Identify oxidation and reduction in terms of electron transfer and assign oxidation numbers in 10 examples

  • Distinguish acids from bases using pH, indicators and the Brønsted–Lowry definition

Your checkpoint

A balanced-equations and ionic-equations test of 20 items, with a table of the reactivity series and pH scale drawn from memory

Week 6

Biology - cells, reproduction, heredity, evolution

  • Label the parts of plant and animal cells and state the function of each organelle from memory

  • Compare mitosis and meiosis on a table covering purpose, number of divisions and chromosome number in daughter cells

  • Solve monohybrid and dihybrid genetics crosses using Punnett squares, including sex-linked inheritance

  • Explain natural selection as a four-step process and apply it to a described population change

  • Distinguish genotype from phenotype and dominant from recessive using worked examples

Your checkpoint

A genetics problem set of 12 crosses fully worked with Punnett squares, plus a hand-drawn cell diagram labelled without notes

Week 7

Biology - human body systems, plants, ecosystems and the environment & Earth and Space Science - geology, weather, astronomy, Earth's interior and history

  • Trace the path of blood through the heart and lungs and name the function of each major organ system

  • Describe photosynthesis and respiration as complementary processes, naming inputs, outputs and where each occurs

  • Construct a food web from a described ecosystem and explain how energy and numbers change across trophic levels

  • Interpret a weather map and a rock-cycle diagram, naming the processes that link each rock type

  • Order the geological eras and describe one defining event or fossil group for each

Your checkpoint

Two summary posters, one for body systems and plants and one for ecosystems, weather and Earth history, each produced from memory and then corrected against notes

Week 8

Physics - mechanics, motion, forces, work and energy & Physics - electricity, current, magnetism, waves and sound & Chemistry - substances and their properties, separation, states of matter & Chemistry - chemical reactions, equations, ions, acids and bases, oxidation and reduction & Biology - cells, reproduction, heredity, evolution & Biology - human body systems, plants, ecosystems and the environment & Earth and Space Science - geology, weather, astronomy, Earth's interior and history

  • Complete two full-length timed practice papers under exam conditions and record the score for each domain

  • Re-solve every previously wrong question from weeks 1 to 7 without consulting the answer key first

  • Rank your domains by accuracy and spend the final sessions only on the two weakest

  • Memorise units, constants and key definitions through spaced recall until you can state them unprompted

Your checkpoint

A final error log showing the domain-by-domain accuracy of both mock papers, with every remaining weak point listed alongside the specific action taken to fix it

Milestones

Week 2: Score at least 70% on the 12-question timed mechanics section and be able to draw a correct free-body diagram for any of the 15 set problems without notes

Week 4: Score at least 80% on the classification-and-separation worksheet and correctly label a heating curve with melting and boiling points identified

Week 6: Work all 12 genetics crosses correctly, including one dihybrid and one sex-linked cross, and label a cell diagram from memory with no errors

Week 8: Both full-length mock papers completed within time, with overall accuracy improved over the week 4 and week 6 checkpoints and no domain below 60%
