AMC Clinical study plans that match how the exam is actually marked
These are not generic calendars. They follow the platform loop — Learn → Practise → Review → Simulate — so every week produces spoken reps and feedback you can act on.
How much time do you actually need?
Pick from an honest self-audit — not only your exam date. If communication or UK consultation style is the gap, take the longer route.
The loop every week must use
1. Learn
Start Here anchors, Frameworks, Notes, Comparisons.
2. Practise
Station Scenarios out loud — voice for fluency, text to warm up.
3. Review
Session Review scorecard → fix the “not met” items → retry.
4. Simulate
Full timed Mock Exams, especially Recent Themes Mocks.
Recommended for most candidates
Foundation — frameworks & playbook; one practice station right away (even a bad one)
Frameworks daily + 1–2 stations
Start Here — history-taking clusters (anchor → practise → review)
2 stations/day + spaced repetition
Start Here — counselling & shared decision-making
2 stations/day + review routine
Ethics, consent & communication clusters
2 stations/day + first full mock
Acute/emergency clusters — ABCDE under the clock
2–3 stations/day + weekly mock
Teaching, prescribing & data interpretation stations
2 stations/day + weekly mock
Pressure-test — mocks + Analytics weak-area drill; Comparisons for differentials
Weekly mock + targeted retries
Final fortnight — Recent Themes + re-run failed stations; Quick Review & Mind Maps (Essentials)
Daily Recent Themes + 2–3 mocks
Am I ready?
No checklist guarantees a pass — but candidates who can tick these usually walk in exam-ready.
- Two to three consecutive full mocks at or above the pass line (including a Recent Themes Mock).
- No lagging domain — Analytics shows DG, CM and IPS moving together.
- Frameworks automatic — playbook + Universal Five from memory, out loud.
- Start Here anchors done; Examiner Checklist clear on your hardest stations.
- The format feels boring — reading time, the bell, the reset between patients.
