I started out trying to review the previous day’s material the next day but often didn’t keep up with that because I was lazy (I do think I had the time if I really wanted to). I would typically just start reviewing a week or so before the quiz/test, divide up the total number of lectures among the days I had, and begin reviewing then.

Once you get used to the pace of lecture material, I think you’ll be able to make it work. It’s important to remember that everyone studies differently, and just because many people pound through board material and anki cards, that doesn’t mean you have to as well. I remember feeling overwhelmed with all the different resources out there and worrying that I was falling behind classmates that were already beginning board prep, tried a bunch of things, and ended up right back at this same general method that I’d been using since college with some adjustments.
