Biomedical Sciences & Clinical Dental Sciences & Behavioural, Social and Public Health Sciences
Re-test every item in the error log and retire concepts answered correctly twice
Complete two 150-question timed mock exams under exam-day conditions
Analyse mock-exam timing, question-stem misreads, and domain-level accuracy
Condense high-yield facts into a single two-page rapid-review sheet
Your checkpoint
Two scored 150-question mocks with a domain-accuracy table and a completed two-page rapid-review sheet
Biomedical Sciences & Clinical Dental Sciences & Behavioural, Social and Public Health Sciences
Complete two full-length timed simulations and review only flagged and missed items
Recite the rapid-review sheet from memory and fill gaps within 24 hours
Practice 30 rapid text-only diagnosis and calculation items to build pacing
Finalise a one-page exam-day checklist covering timing, guessing strategy, and breaks
Your checkpoint
Two full-length simulation scores at or above the passing threshold plus a completed exam-day checklist
Milestones
Week 4: Score at least 65% on the first timed 100-question mixed block and document five weakest subtopics
Week 6: Score at least 70% on an 80-question clinical/behavioural block and complete all 10 treatment plans
Week 8: Score at or above the passing threshold on both full-length simulations and demonstrate that every error-log item has been retested
