Final score = (Reading + Oral×2 + Writing) ÷ 4 · Pass: total ≥ 02 AND each section ≥ 02

Daily time commitment:

At undefined, this plan is ~NaN days. Phase durations shown below.

Phase 1·Gap Diagnosis
Identify your real A1/A2 gaps vs PD2 requirements
3
days
1

Take a PD2 reading past paper cold (45 min timed). Score it. Note: which question type costs you the most points?

danpicbook/pd2/reading
2

Oral self-recording (5 min): speak freely about yourself, your life, your reasons for taking PD2. Listen back — what vocabulary do you reach for but can't find?

3

Write your personal gap list: top 3 vocabulary areas you're missing, top 2 grammar areas, top 1 pronunciation issue. This list drives your Phase 2 priorities.

Note: A1/A2 learners' biggest trap: thinking 'I know a lot of words' = 'I can speak.' You recognise more than you can produce. Phase 2 closes that gap.

Phase 2·Vocabulary + Oral Dual Track
Active vocab building · Oral-383 · Del1 framework · Self-recording
days
1

Rule: always start each session with 10 min oral, even when you planned to do vocab. Never separate vocab and oral into completely different days.

2

Vocabulary: 20 new words per day from the 2500 word list. For every new word, immediately compose one spoken sentence with it.

3

Oral-383: complete all 383 phrases with audio shadowing. Your goal: hear any phrase and produce it without hesitation.

4

Del1 framework: same as Plan A Phase 2. Practise with 5 topics per session. Key focus: filling the framework with YOUR vocabulary (not memorised sentences).

5

Del2 drill: the examiner will ask about your job, family, country, interests. Prepare 3 sentences on each topic — but from your real vocabulary, not from a script.

6

Self-record every 4 days. Compare recordings over time: are you reaching for fewer unknown words? Is your grammar cleaner?

Phase 3·All Three Sections
Timed reading · Writing formats · Continued oral maintenance
days
1

Same content as Plan A Phase 3. Oral minimum: 30 min/day.

2

Reading: past papers timed (45 min). Focus on your weakest question type from Phase 1 diagnosis.

3

Writing: email + short description, timed. At PD2, short and accurate beats long and messy.

4

Oral-3783: at least 300 phrases during this phase, daily 20-minute sessions.

Phase 4·Mock Sprint
Full mocks · Final polish
days
1

Same as Plan A Phase 4: full oral + reading + writing mocks every 2 days. Fix one grammar error. Rest the day before.

2

Pronunciation focus: ø, å, soft-d. Listen and mimic exactly with Oral-383 audio. These three sounds separate grade 7 from grade 10 in oral.

5 Principles for Grade 10
1

Oral counts double (formula: Reading + Oral×2 + Writing ÷ 4). Spending 60% of your time on oral is arithmetic, not preference.

2

Del1: don't memorise a script per topic. Master the 3-point framework until it's automatic — then it handles any assigned topic.

3

PD2 writing: shorter, correct sentences outscore longer, error-filled ones. Target accuracy, not complexity.

4

Del2 survival phrases: 'Kan du gentage spørgsmålet?' · 'Det er et godt spørgsmål...' · 'Jeg tænker over det et øjeblik'. These buy time without losing points.

5

Record yourself every 3 days. The gap between how you sound in your head vs. how you actually sound is exactly where grade 10 is won or lost.
