Your checkpoint

A syllabus checklist file showing all topics colour-coded by confidence, plus a dated study calendar for Weeks 1-4

Week 2

Subject-Specific Knowledge

  • Solve 120 subject MCQs under a 90-second-per-question limit and log every error with its cause

  • Re-teach three difficult concepts aloud in under 3 minutes each without notes

Your checkpoint

An error log of 120 attempted MCQs with accuracy percentage and 20 finished flashcards

Week 3

Subject-Specific Knowledge & Pedagogy and Teaching Aptitude
