EMREE study plan for 8 weeks

The eight-week shape

This is a template. Move the weeks around your sitting date and your rota.

1. Week 1: baseline mixed set, note weakest subjects, book study blocks.
2. Week 2: internal medicine, part one.
3. Week 3: internal medicine part two, and paediatrics.
4. Week 4: obstetrics and gynaecology, and surgery.
5. Week 5: family medicine, psychiatry, and public health.
6. Week 6: weak-area repair using the Incorrect filter and short subject tests.
7. Week 7: a full-length timed mock (120 questions in 3 hours) and a long review.
8. Week 8: a second mock, a light review of flagged questions and rest.

What a normal week looks like

Four to five short sessions of 45 to 90 minutes beat one long weekend. Do questions in Tutor mode, read every rationale, and write one-line rules for the misses.

Keep one block each week for mixed questions across subjects, because the exam will not be sorted by subject.

Use the mocks properly

A mock tests stamina and pacing as well as knowledge. Sit it in one go with no phone. Afterwards, review by subject, find where the time went and note which wrong answers were knowledge gaps and which were rushed reads.

If you only have four weeks or twelve

With four weeks, halve each block and keep the two mocks. With twelve, add a second pass through the subjects before the repair week. Either way, keep the baseline, the repair week and the mocks.

Confirm your sitting date and registration terms first, since registration is reported to close early when seats fill.
