Weeks One to Three: Build the Foundation
Start with airway, respiratory, and cardiology, since they make up a large share of the exam. Study 60 to 90 minutes per day, reading a chapter, taking notes, and finishing with 20 practice questions. Track the topics you miss.
Weeks Four to Six: Expand and Apply
Cover trauma, medical emergencies, OB and pediatrics, and operations. Add scenario-based practice, and review your missed questions each weekend. Begin using flashcards for drug indications, vital signs, and key numbers.
Weeks Seven and Eight: Test and Refine
Take full-length practice exams under timed conditions. Spend half your time on weak areas and half on mixed review. Reduce new material in the final days, and focus on rest, light review, and confidence.
