What you need

Steps

  1. Write all 19 subjects on one page and split each into small topics. Put every topic into a calendar with a first pass and later review dates.

  2. After you study a topic, close the book and write or say everything you remember. Then open the notes and fill only the gaps.

  3. Turn facts you missed into short flashcards with one question per card. Review the cards daily and delete cards you never miss.

  4. Space your reviews: revisit a topic after 1 day, 3 days, 1 week and 2 to 3 weeks. Move the next date sooner if recall is weak.

  5. Do MCQ-based revision by topic and keep a mistake log. Add each repeated error to your flashcards and revisit that topic first.

  6. Plan 2 to 3 revision passes per subject: a broad pass, a weak-area pass and a final rapid recall pass. Give weak subjects extra passes.

  7. Build a weekly timetable with 2 to 3 subjects per day and one mixed revision day. Protect short daily slots for flashcards and mistake review.

  8. Replace passive re-reading and highlighting with closed-book recall and MCQs. Stop a session when you can explain the topic without notes.

Tips and common mistakes

Re-reading feels easy but does not prove you can recall the answer, so test yourself first.

Keep each flashcard to one fact or one MCQ idea so reviews stay fast.

Review wrong MCQs within 24 hours, while the reason for the error is still clear.

Do not build cards for every line. Only card facts you keep forgetting.

Questions

How many revisions do I actually need?

Aim for 2 to 3 spaced passes per subject, with more for weak topics. The right number is the point where you can recall the topic without notes.

How long should one revision session be?

Use 25 to 45 minute blocks with a short break. Start with closed-book recall, then check notes, then finish with a few MCQs.

Do I need flashcards for every subject?

No. Use flashcards for facts and definitions you forget. Use MCQs and summary sheets for broad concepts and clinical reasoning.
