"Create a 2-week USMLE Step 1 study schedule with breaks, workouts, and detailed focus areas

Define primary subjects and systems to focus on during the two weeks.

Gather essential resources: First Aid, UWorld, Pathoma, Sketchy, Anki decks.

Create a comfortable study space free from distractions.

Schedule morning workouts to boost energy and focus.

Include evening workouts to relieve stress after study sessions.

Choose diverse exercises (cardio, strength training, yoga) for variety.

Day 1: Focus on Biochemistry and Immunology (study blocks, practice questions).

Day 2: Cover Microbiology thoroughly (integrate visuals with Sketchy).

Day 3: Dive into Pharmacology and Enzymes (emphasize drug mechanisms).

Day 4: Study Neurology, combining anatomy and pathology (use visuals).

Day 5: Focus on Cardiology and Respiratory systems (review clinical correlations).

Day 6: Cover Renal and GI (integrate physiology with pathology).

Day 7: Study Reproductive and Endocrine systems, assess progress with NBME.

Day 8: Complete timed UWorld blocks for integration across subjects.

Day 9: Focus on targeted weak areas identified from practice assessments.

Day 10: Blitz Microbiology and Pharmacology with high-yield resources.

Day 11: Take a full NBME test to simulate real exam conditions.

Day 12: Conduct a comprehensive review of systems, focusing on high-yield information.

Day 13: Simulate testing conditions with another NBME or practice exam.

Day 14: Light review and rest, ensuring to consolidate knowledge without stress.

Allocate time for breakfast, lunch, and dinner each day.

Incorporate short breaks (5-10 minutes) between study blocks.

Use longer breaks (30-60 minutes) for meals and relaxation.

Maintain a log of practice questions and areas of difficulty.

Analyze performance on practice tests to refine focus areas.

Adjust the study plan as needed based on ongoing assessments.

In the last few days, focus on high-yield topics and weak areas.

Use relaxation techniques (meditation, deep breathing) to manage anxiety.

Ensure adequate sleep leading up to the exam day.

Confirm exam logistics (location, time, materials required).

Set up everything needed the evening before the exam.

Prioritize a good night’s sleep and a nutritious breakfast on exam day.
