Here's a weekday schedule built around your fixed blocks. It gives you about 4 hours of FMGE study on a normal day, assuming a short commute. Adjust the times if yours is longer.
Weekday schedule (Mon to Fri)
| Time | Activity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 6:00 - 6:15 | Wake up, water, freshen up | No phone scrolling |
| 6:15 - 7:15 | FMGE block 1 (60 min) | Your freshest hour. Do active recall, revision of yesterday's topics, or flashcards |
| 7:15 - 7:45 | Cook breakfast and pack lunch or snacks | Keep it to 3-4 repeatable meals |
| 7:45 - 8:00 | Get ready and leave | |
| 8:00 - 3:00 | College classes | Use your lunch break for 20 min of MCQs or flashcards |
| 3:00 - 3:30 | Travel home, snack, short rest | Don't skip the rest, or block 2 will be unproductive |
| 3:30 - 4:45 | FMGE block 2 (75 min) | Deep work on one subject: read, then make notes |
| 4:45 - 5:00 | Pre-workout snack, change, leave | |
| 5:00 - 7:30 | Gym | |
| 7:30 - 8:00 | Travel, shower, rest | |
| 8:00 - 8:45 | Cook and eat dinner | Prepped ingredients make this faster |
| 8:45 - 9:00 | Break | |
| 9:00 - 10:15 | FMGE block 3 (75 min) | Solve MCQs on what you studied today, then review the mistakes |
| 10:15 - 10:30 | Plan tomorrow and prep ingredients for tomorrow's cooking | |
| 10:30 - 11:00 | Wind down: no screens, stretch, read | |
| 11:00 | Sleep | 7 hours of sleep |
Weekend
Saturday
- 7:00 - 12:00: two 2-hour study blocks, with a break between them.
- Afternoon: cooking, errands and rest.
- 4:00 - 5:00: a 60-minute FMGE block.
- Evening: gym if you want, or a rest day.
- Do a weekly test of 100 to 150 MCQs. Spend the rest of the time reviewing the mistakes.
Sunday
- Morning: a 2-hour revision block of the week's weak areas.
- Midday: batch cook for 3 to 4 days. Cook rice, dal or curry bases and chopped vegetables, and marinate your protein. This saves about 30 minutes on each weekday.
- Afternoon: take it off to recover.
- Evening: a light 1-hour block to plan next week.
How to use the study blocks
- Block 1 (morning): revise and recall. Don't start new material.
- Block 2 (afternoon): learn one subject in depth.
- Block 3 (night): MCQs on that day's topic, plus error review.
- Rotating subjects: pair each day with whatever is being taught in college, so classes count as first exposure and FMGE study is the second pass. Put the heavy subjects (Medicine, Surgery, OBG, Pediatrics) in blocks 2 and 3 and the short ones (Pharmacology, Microbiology, Pathology) in block 1.
- Spaced revision: revise each topic after 1 day, 1 week and 1 month.
Tips
- Gym is the most flexible block. On exam-heavy weeks, cut it to 1.5 hours and add that time to study. Don't cut sleep.
- Don't study right after training. Have dinner first, then study at 9:00.
- Rest day: take one rest day from the gym each week, ideally Wednesday or Sunday, and add an extra 1.5 hours of study that day.
- Keep cooking cheap in time: use a fixed weekly menu so you don't have to decide each day.
If you tell me your commute time, your FMGE exam date, and whether you're at the start or the revision stage, I can make this more specific. I can also add a subject-by-subject plan if you want one.
