OAT study plan

Build a one-page cell-and-molecular-biology map covering organelles, membrane transport, and the central dogma, writing each process from memory before checking it

Define and contrast mitosis and meiosis stage by stage, listing the chromosome count and key event at each checkpoint

Solve 40 genetics problems (monohybrid, dihybrid, sex-linked, Hardy-Weinberg) and log every error with its cause

Diagram the major human organ systems and label the function of each organ relevant to gas exchange, circulation, digestion, and excretion

Explain the roles of the major hormones and trace the feedback loops that regulate blood glucose, water balance, and the menstrual cycle

Classify the major taxonomic groups and identify the distinguishing features of each

Calculate molarity, dilution, and stoichiometric yields for 30 problems without a formula sheet

Predict periodic trends in atomic radius, ionization energy, and electronegativity and justify each prediction in writing

Balance redox equations in acidic and basic solution and assign oxidation states correctly

Apply gas laws and the ideal gas equation to mixed problems involving partial pressure and molar mass

Name and draw alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatics using IUPAC rules, including stereochemistry notation

Predict products of substitution, elimination, addition, and oxidation reactions and identify the mechanism (SN1, SN2, E1, E2) from the substrate and conditions

Distinguish functional groups by their reactivity and describe how each appears in IR and NMR spectra

Solve kinematics and projectile-motion problems by selecting the correct equation and stating knowns and unknowns before calculating

Apply Newton's laws and conservation of energy and momentum to multi-step problems involving friction and collisions

Set up circuit problems using Ohm's law and series/parallel rules, and compute power dissipation

Describe wave properties, including frequency, wavelength, refraction, and the Doppler effect, with worked examples

Practice the three reading question types (main idea, detail, inference) on 6 long passages, capping each passage at 8 minutes

Identify the sentence in each passage that supports the correct answer and note why each distractor fails

Finish remaining physics topics: optics, fluids, thermodynamics, and modern physics, with one worked example per concept

Solve quantitative comparison and data-interpretation items without a calculator, using estimation and backsolving

Convert between fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios, and scientific notation fluently across 30 drills

Re-review the two weakest biology subtopics from the week 1-2 error logs and rewrite those notes

Take two full-length timed practice exams and record section scores and pacing

Categorize every missed question by domain and concept, then rank the top five recurring gaps

Re-drill only the top five gaps with targeted problem sets and flashcard review

Finalize a one-page summary sheet per science domain for last-day review
