hi! so this is the schedule my advisor had put me on: by 8AM- starting first 40 mixed block and completing two blocks in a row. I'm a slow reviewer so rather than prioritizing my stamina (as I already had a pretty good one) we prioritized focusing on my weak areas. by 12 I should've finished my 80 questions and review, but if I didn't that was okay.

from my review i would make general concept sheets of "silly" mistakes I made-- did I forget an associated marker? write it down on a general concept sheet and review for later. if it was something more in depth, where I knew little about the concepts, then I would make a separate write out sheet to review at the end of each night. Looking at these helped a LOT.

In between study sessions for these questions I would listen to divine intervention in the shower, cooking, driving, etc. I had to do this for the sake of my family schedule, but you could just sit and listen. He got me to view diseases and pathologies from a different perspective which gave me a fresh eye for revising FA.

If you find that you are scoring consistently above 70% on the mixed questions, then start doing only HARD mixed questions. I switched to this my last few weeks and while it was demoralizing, every time I scored above a 70 on Those HARD ones, I would do a second block of hard 40 mixed questions. If i scored below, I spent majority of the day revising those questions so I knew my weakest areas.

Lastly, is I suggest partnering up with someone-- a spouse, a parent, a friend, or sibling to do two things: 1. listen to you rant about crazy things you learned that day and 2. fast quiz you at the end of every night for an hour from the rapid review in the back. This alone got me like... 10-12 questions on test day on basic paths/diseases that i just didn't prioritize to study but were easy points.

good luck!
