It’s important to have a good structure for your learning. I work well ticking things off lists to track my progress and to help me judge how much time I can spend on each topic.
The structure below is a good starting point. For each subsection, I had another A4 page of content-bulletpoints to work through.
Some books (such as: Surgical finals – passing the clinical, Medical Finals – passing the clinical) also have useful TOC’s in the end. By the way, for any text coloured blue below, there are links to revision notes and material available for download.
