Baseline Check

Before scheduling, we run a diagnostic to identify strong/weak systems.

Inputs: prior coursework, recent module exams, brief readiness quiz.

Output: Weak systems map (e.g., GI, Endocrine, Neuro) + recommended prep weeks.

Medical team in surgery
Current: Pass-band stable

Go/No-Go Rules

For Step 1 (P/F):

require stable pass-band practice before test day.

For Step 2 CK:

require forecast ≥ target band for 2 consecutive mocks.

Q-bank Strategy

Consistency beats cramming. We track completion and accuracy, then escalate when targets slip.

Questions/day: 80

Review minutes/day: 90

Daily Structure & Settings

Banks supported: UWorld / AMBOSS

Structure: 2 × 40-question timed blocks; review with error logs

System weighting:

auto-allocates more questions to weak systems.

Spaced review:

missed concepts auto-resurface at +2d, +7d, +21d.
