REVISION 1 (Jun 29 - Jul 19) — 21 Days

ANATOMY (7 days in Rev 1)

Anatomy is the bulkiest subject. Cover it in logical regional blocks.
DaysTopicsFocus
Day 1-2Upper Limb - bones, joints, muscles, brachial plexus, vesselsNerve supply tables, dermatomes
Day 3Lower Limb - bones, joints, muscles, lumbosacral plexus, vesselsFemoral triangle, popliteal fossa
Day 4Thorax - heart, lungs, mediastinum, breastSurface anatomy, cardiac borders
Day 5Abdomen - peritoneum, GI tract, liver, pancreas, spleen, kidneysPortal circulation, inguinal canal
Day 6Head & Neck - cranial nerves, triangle of neck, orbit, ENTCranial nerve nuclei and functions
Day 7Neuroanatomy + Embryology - brain, spinal cord, key embryologySpinal tracts, developmental anomalies
Anatomy tips:
  • Draw diagrams - never just read. Especially brachial plexus, Circle of Willis.
  • Use mnemonic sheets for nerve supplies (e.g., "LOAF" for median nerve hand muscles).
  • Embryology: focus on defects and their embryological basis (cleft palate, VSD, etc.).

PHYSIOLOGY (7 days in Rev 1)

Physiology is concept-heavy. Understand mechanisms, don't memorize blindly.
DaysTopicsFocus
Day 8Blood & Body Fluids - blood groups, coagulation, hemopoiesisCoagulation cascade, blood indices
Day 9Cardiovascular - cardiac cycle, ECG, BP regulation, heart soundsDraw ECG trace, Frank-Starling law
Day 10Respiratory - lung volumes, gas exchange, transport, regulationSpirometry values, Haldane/Bohr effect
Day 11Renal - nephron function, GFR, tubular handling, urine concentrationCountercurrent mechanism
Day 12Gastrointestinal - secretions, motility, digestion, absorptionEnzymes and sites, gastric acid regulation
Day 13Endocrinology - pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, pancreas, sex hormonesFeedback loops, hormonal effects
Day 14Nervous System + Special Senses - reflexes, autonomic, vision, hearingReflex arcs, autonomic pharmacology
Physiology tips:
  • Draw flow diagrams for feedback loops (RAAS, thyroid axis, insulin-glucagon).
  • Know normal values by heart (pH, PaO2, GFR, hormone levels).
  • CVS and Renal are the highest-yield sections in most exams.

BIOCHEMISTRY (7 days in Rev 1)

Biochemistry rewards systematic memorization of pathways.
DaysTopicsFocus
Day 15Cell biology + Carbohydrate metabolism - glycolysis, TCA, glycogen, gluconeogenesisEnzyme names, regulation steps
Day 16Lipid metabolism - fatty acid synthesis/oxidation, ketogenesis, cholesterol, lipoproteinsLipoprotein types, beta-oxidation
Day 17Protein & Amino acid metabolism - transamination, urea cycle, one-carbon metabolismUrea cycle enzymes, essential AAs
Day 18Molecular biology - DNA replication, transcription, translation, gene expressionEnzyme at each step, mutations
Day 19Vitamins & Minerals - fat-soluble, water-soluble, deficiency diseasesCoenzyme roles, deficiency signs
Day 20Enzymes + Clinical biochemistry - enzyme kinetics, LFTs, RFTs, lab valuesKm/Vmax, isoenzymes in disease
Day 21Hemoglobin + Integration day - Hb synthesis, porphyrias, review weak areasHb types, jaundice types
Biochemistry tips:
  • Draw metabolic pathways by hand. Never just read them.
  • Link biochemistry to clinical diseases: PKU, galactosemia, maple syrup urine disease, etc.
  • Vitamins + Enzymes are extremely high-yield for MCQs.

REVISION 2 (Jul 20 - Aug 7) — 19 Days

Revision 2 should be faster - you've seen everything once. Target weak areas identified in Rev 1.

ANATOMY Rev 2 (6 days)

DaysTopics
Day 22-23Upper + Lower Limb - focus on nerve injuries, clinical correlations
Day 24Thorax + Abdomen
Day 25Head & Neck
Day 26Neuroanatomy
Day 27Embryology + High-yield spots (inguinal canal, femoral sheath, carpal tunnel)

PHYSIOLOGY Rev 2 (7 days)

DaysTopics
Day 28-29CVS + Respiratory (most exam-heavy)
Day 30Blood + Renal
Day 31GI + Endocrinology
Day 32Neurophysiology
Day 33MCQ blitz - all topics, past papers only
Day 34Weak topic cleanup

BIOCHEMISTRY Rev 2 (6 days)

DaysTopics
Day 35-36Carbohydrate + Lipid metabolism
Day 37Protein + Molecular biology
Day 38Vitamins + Enzymes
Day 39Clinical biochemistry - lab findings in diseases
Day 40Integration + MCQ practice

August 8-12 (Buffer Days)

  • Aug 8-9: Light read of notes/flashcards only. No new topics.
  • Aug 10: Rest. Eat well. Sleep early.
  • Aug 11: Glance at high-yield one-liners.
  • Aug 12: Exam day. Trust the work.

Weekly MCQ Targets

WeekTarget
Week 1 (Jun 29 - Jul 5)20 MCQs/day from that day's topics
Week 2 (Jul 6 - Jul 12)25 MCQs/day
Week 3 (Jul 13 - Jul 19)30 MCQs/day + 1 full mock
Week 4-6 (Jul 20 - Aug 7)40-50 MCQs/day, full past papers every Sunday

Key Rules for Success

  1. Never skip the daily MCQ session - exam is MCQ-heavy, and doing theory alone will not pass you.
  2. Short notes from Day 1 - write a 1-2 page summary after each topic. This is your Rev 2 material.
  3. Do not compare pace with others - 40 days is tight but doable if you stay consistent.
  4. Sleep 7 hours minimum - memory consolidation happens during sleep. Studying 18 hours on 4 hours of sleep is counterproductive.
  5. One full day off per week is optional - if you feel burned out, take a half-day off rather than losing 3 days to mental fatigue.
You have 40 focused days. The plan is aggressive but realistic at 10+ hours/day. Stick to the schedule and prioritize understanding over rote memorization, especially in Physiology and Biochemistry. Good luck!
