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

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%
