The 2-3 Month Plan
Based on the responses you gave us, you have 2-3 months before you take your exam. You are a planner, and like to plan ahead for major tests. Your reading speed and attention span is considered in these suggestions. You prefer to learn on your own, but also think you can benefit from a live program. The plan below has been created for you to maximize your study time over the next 3 months:
OUR SUGGESTION:
Because of the amount of time you will have to study with this plan, we recommend purchasing BOTH our Complete Review Package, and attending the Clinical Skills and Procedure Workshop. This will give you broad exposure to commonly tested board questions, and also plenty of detailed resources to push you over the finish line.
If attending the live clinical skills workshop isn’t in your schedule, then we suggest buying the Total Package, which includes all of our board review materials, but does not include the live program.

➤ The Professional Development CORE MODULE (with notes)
➤ Test Question Bank (QBank)
➤ Skills and Procedure Workshop

Daily Schedule
Our Core Module is a well designed board review series that includes brief topic-focused lectures that address the commonly tested items on your exam blueprint. It is practice-based and also translates to real world practice in addition to your test.
Review any notes you may have taken and add to them with your review notes.
2 hours per day of active focused review. Combine 3-5 lectures per day with category-based QBank questions. This will reinforce your reading and memory. Our Core Module includes videos by system and end of chapter questions. Our QBank allows for as many system-based questions as you need.
Add 1 hour per day of passive learning such as our Inpatient Guide, and concentrate on a different category than what you were actively studying. This will give your brain a break, and help you as you continue your other focused review.
Choose 1 day a week to put your review away and take a break.
