SPM Al-Lughah al-Arabiah al-Mu'asirah study plan

Map the full Arabic verb system onto a one-page chart: past, present, imperative, and the derived forms I–X with one root conjugated through all of them

Conjugate 20 high-frequency roots (كتب، درس، عمل، سمع، فهم، خرج، دخل، سأل، جلس، ذهب…) in past and present with all persons, writing them by hand without reference

Classify 40 exam-style words into their roots and identify the morphological pattern (وزن) of each, noting whether it is a noun, verb, or masdar

Build a personal flashcard deck of 60 core academic and media vocabulary items with the root and pattern recorded on each card

Diagnose your own weaknesses by completing a 25-item grammar self-test and logging every error by category (case ending، verb form، agreement)

Apply the three case endings (رفع، نصب، جر) correctly in 30 constructed sentences, underlining the governing word (عامل) in each

Analyse 15 authentic sentences by labelling every word with its grammatical function (مبتدأ، خبر، فاعل، مفعول به، مضاف إليه)

Write five short paragraphs of 60–80 words each using at least three derived verb forms per paragraph, then self-correct case endings against a grammar reference

Distinguish and practise the ten derived forms' meanings by writing one minimal-pair sentence for each pair that changes meaning (e.g. علم/تعلم، كتب/اكتتب)

Master the rules of agreement between verb and subject, including the singular-verb-with-plural-subject rule, by correcting 20 deliberately faulty sentences

Draft three full essays of 200–250 words on exam-style prompts (technology and daily life، the value of voluntary work، a personal experience) within a 45-minute time limit each

Structure every essay with a clear introduction, two developed body paragraphs, and a conclusion, using explicit connectors (من ناحية أخرى، بالإضافة إلى ذلك، في الختام)

Read four unseen 300-word passages and answer comprehension questions on main idea, detail, inference, and author's purpose, timing yourself at 8 minutes per passage

Identify and record 30 cohesive devices (linking words and pronouns) encountered in the reading passages, with an example sentence for each

Reduce your own essay errors by comparing a first and second draft of the same prompt and listing every correction you made

Complete six full-length reading passages under exam conditions, achieving at least 75% accuracy and logging the question type of every miss

Answer 60 vocabulary-in-context items, choosing meanings from surrounding clues rather than translation, and review every wrong item

Learn 40 common idioms and fixed expressions (على قدم وساق، في متناول اليد، ضرب موعدًا…) and write an original sentence for each

Practise skimming and scanning: locate five specific facts in a 500-word text in under 90 seconds each

Summarise two reading passages in 50 words each, capturing the main argument without copying source phrasing

Listen to 10 short Arabic audio clips (news bulletins، dialogues) of 2–3 minutes and answer five comprehension questions on each without replaying more than once

Record yourself speaking for 2 minutes on eight different prompts and review each recording, noting hesitation, grammar slips, and vocabulary gaps

Shadow-read three audio transcripts aloud to improve pronunciation of emphatic consonants (ص، ض، ط، ظ) and the ع/ح sounds, recording before-and-after versions

Use 25 new colloquial and formal register expressions in spoken practice, distinguishing when each register is appropriate

Build a speaking-outline habit: prepare a 60-second structured response (opinion، two reasons، example) for five common discussion topics

Read and analyse three Islamic or cultural texts (a hadith commentary excerpt، a passage on Islamic civilisation، a modern cultural essay), identifying the main theme and the author's stance

Extract and explain 25 culture-specific terms and allusions from those texts, giving context rather than literal translation

Write one 250-word analytical response to a cultural text, quoting evidence and paraphrasing in your own words

Practise the conventions of formal written Arabic in a religious or cultural register: appropriate honorifics، Quranic and prophetic citation format, and respectful phrasing

Compare two texts on the same theme from different genres and write a 100-word note on how register and purpose shape the language

Do two full mixed-domain practice papers under strict timing, then review every error and re-teach the underlying rule for at least 10 of them

Re-test the grammar categories you logged as weak in week 1 and confirm improvement on each

Complete 30 sentence-completion and error-correction items targeting case endings, verb forms, and agreement

Read two long passages (500+ words) with complex syntax and diagram the grammatical structure of five difficult sentences

Consolidate vocabulary by reviewing all flashcards and retiring items you answer correctly three times in a row

Write two full essays of 250–300 words under exam timing and self-mark them against a checklist (task completion، organisation، range، accuracy)

Deliver two recorded 3-minute spoken responses covering all six domains, then transcribe and correct them

Run one complete mock exam across all six domains in a single sitting and score it domain by domain

Compile a one-page revision sheet of your 15 most frequent errors and the rule that fixes each

Set a final review schedule for the last 72 hours before the exam, allocating time by weakest domain rather than equally
