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.
