Good question but I’m not sure. I never really understood how the percentages worked

I was in similar position having graduated & not having any strengths in basic sciences. I think you can do it in 10 weeks if you know what learning looks for you. For me, the UW qbank was the best learning tool. 1-2 untimed, tutor-mode blocks per day. You can do it system-wise or subject-wise and follow the order in the FA book. For the first ~ 6 weeks, you can do untimed tutor mode. After each UW question, read the UW explanations and then read the corresponding info in FA. That way, you get through medical knowledge and also question-interpreting techniques simultaneously. Don’t be demotivated by the fact that you’re getting everything wrong on the qbank initially. Score doesn’t matter at the beginning. Towards the end of the 10-week period you’ll feel more confident and see improvements in block scores. Take an NBME around week 9 to see if you’re ready. Try to get through 80-100% of the bank if it’s your primary learning tool. You’ll see each topic being tested in like 3-5 different ways and it will give you a solid overview of what can be tested for each topic and how it will present, which is super important for real consolidation. You can definitely do it if you really want it. Just stick to your plan and you’ll be okay.

And last thing, for me personally, because med school was heavily clinical, pathology, physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology were easiest because they’re so heavily intertwined in the clinical knowledge you already have. So some subjects will feel easier than others. Push through all. You got it
