HI All,
I have roughly a month (28 days) to study for the COMLEX. Currently I feel as if my studying is scattered 😱 (a lil MMRS here, some FA there, etc) . I REALLY need some guidance as to how to construct an effective study schedule.

If someone could post an example of their study schedule (or lead me to another thread) it would be GREATLY appreciated! 😀
Thx!

I would recommend the following:
Know the OMT (Dr Simmons cram pages from Drsimmons.net-the vast majority of the omt on my test was on these free ten pages)
Know the bugs (my test was exclusively bacterial-no viruses of fungi, but that of course may change)
know the drugs in terms of how to treat bugs ie give metronidazole for bacterial vaginosis etc, and MOA
Know the psych drugs, behavioral on my test was common sense unlike USMLE behavioral
FA anatomy is sufficient
Know the path. cardio and endocrine high yield. Don't waste time on formulas, obscure tumors, etc. Some people have told me that their comlex was more path leukemia/heme/onc stuff. I had not one of these questions. You may think about organizing the stuff to get it done like:
Week 1 bugs and drugs (all drugs incl. psych)
Week 2 path empahsis on cardio, endo, and heme/onc, reproductive
Week 3 omt and anatomy
Week 4 review all
Hope this helps. Carry on, and remember that everyones test is different. Good luck.
