MD POST study plan

Diagnose baseline reading speed and comprehension accuracy by completing three timed 800-word passages and logging score, time, and error type for each

Identify the six most common inference-question stems and write a one-line decision rule for each

Classify your own grammar errors from a 40-item diagnostic into punctuation, agreement, modifier, and structure categories

Build a personal error log template with columns for domain, error type, root cause, and corrective drill

Apply a three-pass reading routine (skim structure, read for claims, verify against question) to six practice passages and record time per pass

Distinguish main-idea, detail, inference, and tone questions by stem wording and answer each type with its matching strategy

Correct run-on sentences, comma splices, and fragments in a set of 30 self-written sentences

Edit two short paragraphs for concision by cutting redundant modifiers and nominalizations

Increase sustained reading speed by 15 percent over week 1 while holding accuracy at or above 80 percent

Practice elimination technique on 40 answer choices by labeling each distractor as out-of-scope, too-extreme, reversed, or true-but-irrelevant

Apply subject-verb agreement and pronoun reference rules to 40 mixed items and explain each correction in one sentence

Draft a 250-word analytical paragraph with a clear topic sentence, two supporting claims, and a conclusion

Solve 30 arithmetic and percentage problems without a calculator and record time per item

Set up and solve 20 ratio, proportion, and rate word problems by translating each into an equation before computing

Apply a four-step situational judgment routine (identify stakeholders, rank duties, choose least-harm action, check escalation) to 15 scenarios

Write a ranked list of professional duties (patient safety, confidentiality, chain of command, honesty) and justify the ordering

Solve 25 algebra items covering linear equations, inequalities, and systems, showing every step

Compute perimeter, area, and volume for 15 mixed geometry figures and convert units correctly

Respond to 15 conflict and teamwork scenarios by drafting the exact words you would say to a colleague or supervisor

Identify the three most common traps in judgment items (impulsive action, avoiding the issue, over-escalation) and write a counter for each

Memorize a fixed observation checklist (who, what, when, where, sequence, condition, witnesses) and apply it to five short written incident descriptions

Reproduce details from three 60-second reading passages after a delay and score recall accuracy

Write three incident reports of 150 to 200 words each using objective language, chronological order, and no conclusions you cannot support

Convert five opinion-laden sentences into neutral, factual report statements

Combine observation and reporting by writing a report from a timed passage, then checking it against the source for factual drift

Reduce factual errors and unsupported inferences in your reports to zero across three attempts

Practice skimming dense passages for names, numbers, and sequence markers and record five key facts per passage

Tighten report prose by cutting passive constructions and vague qualifiers in two rewritten drafts

Complete two full-length timed mock exams under test-day conditions and score each domain separately

Review every missed item and assign it to a domain, error type, and corrective action

Re-drill your five weakest error patterns from the full eight-week error log

Finalize a test-day pacing plan with target minutes per section and a checkpoint for skipping stalled items
