A weekly study rhythm that actually compounds
1
Day 1: run a timed mixed quiz to expose current weak domains.
2
Day 2: review explanations and rewrite only the mistakes that came from reasoning gaps.
3
Day 3: drill dosage calculations, safety checks, and prioritization frameworks until they feel automatic.
4
Day 4: revisit the weakest systems-based or specialty topic with targeted question sets.
5
Day 5: use flashcards or spaced repetition on facts you keep missing.
6
Day 6: simulate a longer mixed block and track accuracy by topic.
7
Day 7: light review only, focusing on wrong-question notes and high-yield summaries.
