Chiba Entrance Science study plan

Chiba Entrance Science · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Mathematics

Diagnose baseline by solving 40 mixed mathematics problems under a 60-minute timer and log error types (algebra, functions, geometry, calculus, probability).
Rebuild algebra and function fluency by working 60 problems on quadratics, exponentials, logarithms, and trigonometric identities, writing each step without skipping.
Create a one-page formula sheet covering identities, derivative and integral rules, and series expansions, then recite it from memory twice.

A scored 40-problem diagnostic with an error-type tally and a completed one-page formula sheet.

Week 2

Solve 50 calculus problems (limits, differentiation, integration by parts and substitution) with a target of 80% accuracy.
Practice 30 vectors, complex numbers, and sequence problems, annotating the method used for each.
Re-solve every week-1 error from scratch without looking at prior work and mark which ones now close cleanly.

A 50-problem calculus set scored at 80% or higher, plus a corrected error log.

Week 3

Complete two full 90-minute mathematics mock sections and record time per question block.
Build a physics mechanics toolkit: derive and apply equations for kinematics, Newton's laws, momentum, and energy across 40 problems.
Translate 20 mathematics word problems into equations before solving, to reduce setup errors.

Two timed mathematics mocks with a section-by-section timing table and a mechanics equation summary.

Week 4

Work 40 problems on waves, sound, and optics, sketching each physical situation before calculating.
Solve 30 electricity and magnetism problems covering circuits, Coulomb's law, and magnetic force on moving charges.
Explain aloud, in under three minutes each, five core physics concepts to test genuine understanding.

A 70-problem physics set scored and sorted into mastered, shaky, and unknown categories.

Week 5

Memorize the periodic table trends and 30 common ions, then self-test until recall is under 10 seconds per item.
Solve 40 stoichiometry problems including limiting reagents, molarity, and gas-law calculations.
Balance and classify 30 redox and acid-base reactions, identifying oxidation states and conjugate pairs.

A stoichiometry and reaction set of 70 problems with an accuracy score and a memorized ion list.

Week 6

Review organic chemistry functional groups and isomer basics through 25 short problems.
Build a biology concept map linking cell structure, respiration, photosynthesis, and enzyme kinetics.
Solve 40 biology questions on genetics, including Mendelian crosses and probability of offspring genotypes.

A biology concept map plus a 65-problem chemistry and biology set scored above 70%.

Week 7

Complete 30 earth science questions on plate tectonics, rock cycles, weather systems, and the solar system.
Practice 20 biology data-interpretation items (graphs, tables, experimental design) with written justifications.
Summarize 10 earth science processes in two sentences each, from memory.

A 50-problem earth science and biology set with written justifications for every answer.

Week 8

Take two full-length timed mock exams under real conditions and score every section.
Review all flagged errors from weeks 1-7 and close at least 80% of them.
Practice 15 English reading and writing items on scientific passages, focusing on inference and vocabulary in context.
Finalize a one-page exam-day checklist covering timing, calculator use, and question-skipping strategy.

Two full mock scores with a final error-closure report and a completed exam-day checklist.

Week 2: Mathematics accuracy on a fresh 40-problem set reaches 75% or higher, and the week-1 error log is fully reworked.

Week 4: Mathematics and physics combined mock score reaches 65% or higher, with no single topic below 50%.

Week 6: Chemistry and biology accuracy reaches 70% or higher, and the periodic trends and ion recall test is passed.

Week 8: Full-length mock average across all six domains reaches 70% or higher, with at least 80% of previously flagged errors closed.
