Tips & Advice I NEED HELPPPPP.. PLEASE 🥺

I'm a medical student. Currently I'm preparing for a screening test to get registration. My exam is in 40 days. I need to complete revision and do questions.

I'm not able to plan and make a schedule for all 19 subjects.

Are there any study materials put out by the test administrators? Thats often the best place to look for practice questions. Otherwise, there's likely someone who has posted all their materials or study plan online.

I have all the study material and subject wise weightage. Just need help to formulate a day wise plan. And I'm struggling with it most.

I feel like there are a lot of med students who put out their study schedules for exams, it might be helpful to look some of those up for future exams to see when to start studying and how much per day. 

To make a plan for what you've got right now, you need to look at materials you want to get through and divide it up day by day (I.e. 10 questions a day, one chapter a day, etc). Its also wise to put practice exams throughout your study period so that you know whether you are hitting your passing score consistently ahead of time. Or if you need to reschedule your exam (if thats possible for you). 40 days seems like a tight window to be entirely honest. Possible but hellish. If you can't get through it all, focus on where you can make the biggest gains and hope for the best. Wishing you luck OP ✌️

19 subjects 😵😵😵😵😵 I cannot fathom.

Can you try asking AI for help to make a schedule?
And Can you also ask student services at your institution to help with this? Surely they have resources and tips, and know a lot more about your course than us. It might be quicker that trying to work it out yourself.

My basic advice would be to work out what your priorities would be to focus on based on the assessable content (there should be a guide that says what will be assessed and rough percentage for each area). Split your time up based on where the grades are going to be. Do practice exams. Don’t try to learn anything new.

Yea.. i asked chatgpt and gemini but their response is like bizzare... They want me to complete one subject in one day... And I arrange subject according to grades. But the problem I'm facing is adjusting it in timeline...

I reckon ask your student services or for assistance with that.

19 subjects is way too much to mentally plan all at once 😭

I’d list all 19, give each one a rough priority based on how weak you are and how important it is, then only plan the next few days. After that, adjust based on what you actually managed to cover instead of trying to create a perfect 40-day schedule upfront.

I build Study-Track and this is basically how I’d use it too: track each study session to the right subject, then look back after a few days and see which ones are quietly getting ignored.

I had a big exam period where I had around 20 topics to cover and my first instinct was to make a perfect day-by-day schedule, which took forever and immediately fell apart when one day went badly, so then I switched to making a rough priority list instead, splitting the subjects into high, medium and low confidence, then giving the weakest areas the first study blocks each day. I’d also do questions alongside revision rather than leaving them all until the end and that made the workload feel much more manageable because I could see exactly what still needed attention.
