MDC PQE study plan

Map the Medicine (Domain 1) blueprint into a one-page topic list and rank each topic by expected question frequency

Diagnose baseline by completing 40 mixed Medicine practice items untimed and logging every miss by subtopic and error type

Build a spaced-repetition deck covering the top 60 high-yield Medicine facts you cannot yet recall reliably

Explain core pathophysiology and first-line management for the highest-weight Medicine subtopics from memory without notes

Practice 60 timed Medicine items at exam pace and flag any item where you hesitated longer than 90 seconds

Rewrite your five most-missed Medicine concepts as short teach-back summaries in your own words

Consolidate Medicine by re-testing only previously missed subtopics and confirming at least 80% accuracy on that subset

Map the Dentistry (Domain 2) blueprint into a topic list and identify where dentistry overlaps with medicine (pharmacology, infection control, medical emergencies)

Create a shared reference sheet for the overlapping areas so you study them once rather than twice

Diagnose Dentistry baseline by completing 40 mixed Domain 2 items and logging misses by subtopic

Drill dental anatomy and tooth morphology using self-drawn diagrams until you can label and describe each tooth group from memory

Build a spaced-repetition deck for the top 60 high-yield Dentistry facts you cannot yet recall
