Study Schedule
Things you'll need:
- A question bank (i.e. UWorld, Knowledge +, etc.)
- A text resource (like First-Aid or MKSAP)
- Flashcards (real or phone/computer app)
- A study calendar
- Sometimes a weekly schedule is easier to manage than a daily schedule, but do what works for you and what will keep you on track.
General Rules:
- Do timed/non-tutor questions every day in a test-like atmosphere.
- Structure time to go over your incorrect answers.
- Annotate trouble concepts into your text resource.
- Make flashcards for high-yield difficult concepts.
- Read your text resource regularly.
- Take "Assessment Days" to simulate a longer test.
- Take time for breaks.
