Study-plan templates

A simple, proven scaffold you can copy into any calendar:

  • Foundation (wk 1-4): system-by-system review, build your question habit
  • Build (wk 5-8): daily timed blocks, review every rationale, track weak systems
  • Peak (wk 9-11): full-length blocks, NBME self-assessment every 1-2 weeks
  • Taper (wk 12): light review, sleep, one final NBME, then test day

Study-schedule guidance

How to actually pace yourself, drawn from what works:

  • Anchor to a target test date first, then count backward
  • Do questions from day one — don't wait until you "feel ready"
  • Review takes longer than the block; budget 1.5× the question time
  • Re-test with an NBME every 10-14 days; let the trend, not one score, guide you

Educational links to official and reputable sources — not affiliated with or endorsed by the NBME, FSMB, ECFMG, or the USMLE program.
