Algebra
Compute powers and roots of complex numbers with De Moivre's theorem and solve equations whose roots are complex.
Solve quadratic equations over the complex numbers, classify roots using the discriminant, and form an equation from given roots.
Derive and apply the nth-term, sum, and mean formulas for arithmetic and geometric sequences, including the convergence condition for infinite geometric series.

Algebra
Expand binomials using the general term and extract a named term, coefficient, or middle term without full expansion.
Solve counting problems with permutations and combinations, including repetition, restriction, and 'at least one' cases.
Carry out matrix addition, multiplication, and inversion via the adjoint, then solve 2x2 and 3x3 systems with Cramer's rule.
Formulate a two-variable linear programming problem, shade the feasible region, and locate the optimal vertex algebraically.

Analytic Geometry (conic sections, straight lines, conic/coordinate geometry)
Compute distance, section-ratio, slope, angle between lines, and perpendicular distance from a point to a line, then use them to find line equations in all standard forms.
Solve locus problems by translating a geometric condition into an algebraic equation.

Statistics and Probability
Compute mean, median, mode, quartiles, range, variance, and standard deviation for grouped and ungrouped data.
Solve combined-mean and combined-standard-deviation problems and interpret dispersion in context.
Apply the addition and multiplication rules, conditional probability, and Bayes' theorem to multi-stage problems.
Calculate binomial and Poisson probabilities, means, and variances, and recognise which model a situation requires.
Standardise normal variables into z-scores and use the table to find probabilities and cut-off values.
Your checkpoint
A 25-question Statistics and Probability set completed in 60 minutes at 70% or better, with a one-page decision guide for choosing between binomial, Poisson, and normal models.

Consolidate the weekly error logs into a single ranked list of weak question types and re-solve every missed item unaided.
Sit two full-length timed papers under exam conditions with no notes and record per-section timing.
Allocate exam time across the six domains in proportion to their weight and practise a 30-second decision on whether to attempt or skip a question.
Recite the six-domain formula card from memory and drill the twenty formulas most often misremembered.
Your checkpoint
Two complete timed mock papers scored at 75% or higher, plus a final one-page formula and revision card written entirely from memory.
Milestones
Week 2: Algebra closed out: 25-question set at 70% or better, and the algebra formula sheet reproduced from memory with no more than two omissions.
Week 4: Cumulative mini-mock of 40 questions across Algebra, Trigonometry, and Analytic Geometry completed in 90 minutes at 65% or better; error log shows no repeated mistake type across two weeks.
Week 6: Vectors and Calculus both cleared at 70% or better on their timed sets, and the vector product table plus conic table recalled without notes.
Week 8: Two full-length mocks at 75% or better with every section attempted in its planned time slot; the ranked weak-topic list has no item left unresolved.
