It is not too late
A focused week can change how you walk in. You do not need to learn everything. You need to fix the few things that will cost you the most.
Start with your school’s format and your weakest station type, then practise out loud under a timer.
When time is short, focus on
- Your reasons for medicine
- Your weakest station type
- Timing and structure
- Resetting after a bad station
Your 7-day plan

Format and stories

Structures out loud
