Episode notes
Create A Detailed Two-Week Study Plan
- Make a two-week plan mapping exactly what you'll study each day, including study group meetings and practice exams.
- Prioritize topics you struggle with and schedule targeted review sessions for them.
Prioritise High-Yield Pharmacology
- Focus pharmacology reviews on PK data for high-yield groups: opioids, muscle relaxants, cardiac and inhalational agents.
- Use MAC95 to list low-pass SAQs and rehearse quick answers to each one days before the exam.
Use Study Groups Strategically
- Schedule study-group sessions with clear agendas and limit them to reviewing low-scoring past SAQs.
- Use the group to cover blind spots, not to re-study everything you already know.
