Mie Entrance Science · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Mathematics & Physics

  • Rebuild algebra fluency by solving 40 linear, quadratic, and simultaneous-equation problems without a calculator, logging every error by cause

  • Derive and apply the three kinematic equations to 15 motion problems, stating the sign convention before each solution

  • Set up a formula sheet for mathematics and physics containing only units, definitions, and conditions of validity

  • Solve 10 rearrangement problems where a physics formula is transposed for an unfamiliar variable

Your checkpoint

A dated error log with at least 50 worked problems across algebra and kinematics, each tagged by error type (sign, unit, algebra, concept).

Week 2

Mathematics

  • Sketch and interpret graphs of linear, quadratic, exponential, and trigonometric functions, identifying intercepts, asymptotes, and turning points

  • Solve 20 trigonometric problems using sine and cosine rules plus radian-degree conversion, showing every intermediate step

  • Compute 15 problems on sequences and series, distinguishing arithmetic from geometric and stating the convergence condition

  • Explain aloud, in under two minutes each, why three common algebra mistakes occur and how to avoid them

Your checkpoint

A one-page summary sheet of function graphs and trigonometric identities, plus 45 solved problems with checked answers.

Week 3

Mathematics & Physics

  • Differentiate and integrate standard functions across 30 problems, including chain, product, and quotient rules

  • Apply Newton's second law and conservation of momentum to 15 mechanics problems involving friction and inclined planes

  • Convert between SI prefixes and derived units in 20 exercises, showing dimensional analysis for each

  • Interpret velocity-time and force-extension graphs to extract gradients and areas with correct units

Your checkpoint

A 30-minute timed mock section covering calculus and mechanics, scored and reviewed with corrections written out in full.

Week 4

Physics & Chemistry

  • Solve 20 problems on electrical circuits using Ohm's law, series-parallel resistance, and power dissipation

  • Balance 25 chemical equations, including redox half-reactions in acidic and basic conditions

  • Calculate moles, molar mass, and concentration across 20 stoichiometry problems with limiting reagents

  • Describe the difference between ionic, covalent, and metallic bonding with one worked example each

Your checkpoint

A mid-plan diagnostic test of 40 mixed mathematics, physics, and chemistry items, scored with a topic-by-topic accuracy table.

Week 5

Chemistry

  • Apply the ideal gas law and the first law of thermodynamics to 15 problems, stating assumptions explicitly

  • Predict reaction outcomes for 20 acid-base and precipitation cases using solubility and pH reasoning

  • Draw and interpret energy profile diagrams for exothermic and endothermic reactions, labelling activation energy

  • Name and classify 25 organic compounds by functional group and predict one characteristic reaction for each

Your checkpoint

A chemistry formula and reaction-type reference card, plus 60 solved items reviewed against the diagnostic weak spots.

Week 6

Chemistry & Biology

  • Explain cell structure and organelle function by matching 20 descriptions to the correct structure without notes

  • Trace the stages of mitosis and meiosis and state the chromosome count at each stage for a given diploid number

  • Solve 15 genetics problems involving monohybrid and dihybrid crosses, including sex-linked inheritance

  • Describe photosynthesis and aerobic respiration as paired equations, naming the site and inputs of each stage

Your checkpoint

A hand-drawn concept map linking cell biology, genetics, and energy metabolism, with 40 solved biology questions attached.

Week 7

Biology & Mathematics

  • Interpret 10 data sets and graphs from biology contexts, calculating means, rates, and percentage change

  • Explain homeostasis and the nervous and endocrine control loops using two fully worked examples

  • Classify organisms and describe ecosystem energy flow, including trophic levels and the carbon cycle

  • Answer 15 data-response questions in exam format under a strict time limit

Your checkpoint

A timed 45-minute biology and data-handling paper, marked, with every lost mark traced to a specific gap.

Week 8

Mathematics & Physics & Chemistry & Biology

  • Complete three full-length timed mock papers across all four domains and record raw scores

  • Revisit the error log and re-solve every problem previously marked wrong until each is correct unaided

  • Condense all reference sheets into a single two-page pre-exam summary covering formulas, units, and definitions

  • Simulate exam-day conditions once, including timing, no notes, and a review pass before submission

Your checkpoint

A final scorecard showing mock results per domain, the top three remaining weak areas, and a one-page revision list for the last 48 hours.

Milestones

Week 2: Score at least 70% on a self-made 30-item mathematics test covering algebra, functions, and trigonometry, with no calculator use.

Week 4: Achieve at least 60% overall on the 40-item mixed diagnostic, and at least 50% in every domain, so no domain is left untouched.

Week 6: Score at least 65% on chemistry and biology practice sets combined, and complete the concept map from memory in under 20 minutes.

Week 8: Average at least 70% across three full-length mocks with no single domain below 60%, and confirm every logged error has been re-solved correctly.
