TEN Neurologia study plan

Map the full Neurologia syllabus into a one-page topic inventory, tagging each topic as high-, medium-, or low-yield based on how often it appears in clinical practice and exam-style vignettes

Build a spaced-repetition deck covering neuroanatomy fundamentals (cortical regions, cranial nerves, brainstem tracts, spinal pathways) with at least 120 original cards

Draw from memory the brachial and lumbosacral plexuses plus the major peripheral nerve territories, then correct against a reference text

Complete 40 localization-style practice items and log every miss with the anatomic reasoning that was wrong

Diagram the motor and sensory pathways from receptor to cortex, labeling each synapse and the effect of a lesion at each level

Classify the major stroke syndromes by vascular territory and predict the clinical deficit from each occlusion site

Practice 30 cerebrovascular vignettes under timed conditions and separate errors into knowledge gaps versus localization errors

Write a one-page lesion-localization decision tree that you can reproduce from memory

Build a differential framework for headache, seizure, and altered consciousness, listing discriminating features for each entity

Summarize first-line workup and acute management for status epilepticus, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and raised intracranial pressure

Recite the indications, mechanisms, and major adverse effects of first-line antiepileptic and migraine-preventive drugs

Complete 50 mixed emergency-neurology items and rewrite each missed item as a one-line rule

Differentiate upper versus lower motor neuron patterns and map them onto the major neuromuscular diseases

Outline the diagnostic approach to peripheral neuropathy by onset, distribution, and fiber type involved

Interpret a set of de-identified or synthetic nerve conduction and electromyography reports, identifying the pattern in at least 10 cases

Review weeks 1-3 miss logs and re-test every previously missed concept

Compare the clinical presentation, diagnostic criteria, and treatment of demyelinating disease, myasthenia gravis, and the inflammatory myopathies

Build a table of movement disorders pairing each phenomenology with its pharmacologic and surgical options

Explain the approach to cognitive decline, including which screening instruments to use and when

Answer 40 neuroimmunology and movement-disorder items and note recurring distractor patterns

Organize infectious, neoplastic, and traumatic neurologic conditions by urgency of intervention and key imaging finding

Summarize the neurologic complications of systemic disease, including metabolic encephalopathy and vitamin deficiencies

Practice reading written radiology descriptions of head CT and MRI findings and match them to the correct diagnosis in 25 cases

Draft a personal list of the 20 facts you most often forget and drill them daily

Complete two full-length timed mock exams under realistic conditions and record time-per-item and stamina patterns

Categorize every mock-exam error by cause: knowledge gap, misread stem, localization error, or time pressure

Re-teach the three weakest categories using targeted reading and fresh practice items

Reduce average time per item to a stable target while holding accuracy above 70%

Re-drill every item missed across all prior weeks using spaced repetition until each is answered correctly twice

Condense all notes into a single high-yield review sheet that fits on four pages

Run one final timed mock exam and confirm accuracy is at or above your target threshold

Verify logistics: exam format, section timing, permitted materials, and a rest plan for the final 48 hours
