Key Rules to Follow

1. Never skip a day - even on bad days, do minimum 3 hours
2. MCQs from day 1 - start solving MCQs alongside reading, not after
3. Notes are gold - make short, scannable notes during Phase 1; use only those in Phase 2-4
4. Recall > Re-reading - after reading, close the book and recall what you studied
5. Track your performance - maintain an error log for wrong MCQs, review weekly
6. Sleep 7 hours - non-negotiable; memory consolidation happens during sleep
7. One day off per week - Sunday afternoon to rest fully; prevents burnout
8. Clinical posting + study - use ward cases to reinforce theory (especially OBG, Medicine)
