I have had many students over the years ask for a general schedule and study plan for their days in dedicated study period. The knowledge base required for Step 1 can be incredibly overwhelming, and finding the time to fit everything in is a huge undertaking. I have developed my own favorite schedule for most of my students, which *so far* seems to work! Schedules do vary significantly from tutor to tutor, and also during different points in the study period. I’ve included a general sample of what I would recommend to someone a bit further out from the test below!
8am-12pm: One UWorld block, timed, all boxes checked
12pm-1pm: Lunch/break
1pm-2pm: Pathoma Cardiology Review
2pm-3pm: Cardiology MI/Heart Failure Review, FA
3pm-4pm: FA/Boards and Beyond Cardiology Physiology
4pm-5pm: Break
5pm-6pm: Cardiology Pharmacology Review
6pm-7pm: Cardiology, Sketchy Pharm/Anki, Anti-Arrhythmics
7pm-9pm: Class Material, Review Lectures, Study for school
Some of these time slots can be modified based on the resources used by each student — some prefer Goljan to Pathoma, some prefer Amboss to Boards and Beyond, some prefer Sketchy to Anki. Overall, though, this should be what a lot of your days can look like — a solid mix of diverse questions, physiology, pharmacology, pathology, and review of prior topics.
