Basic Structure of the Elite 10-Week COMLEX Level 1 Study Calendar:

Day (about 7 AM to 5 PM):

Morning:

• Dive into UWorld questions and create flashcards to reinforce your understanding.
• Continued Qbank Review with Flashcard Creation – Spend 2-3 hours on practice questions.

Late Afternoon:

• Review Flashcards & Supplement Weaker Topics – Strengthen identified weak areas through video resources and flashcards.

Early Evening (about 5 PM to 8 PM):

• ~2-3.5 hours of focused review, flashcards, and supplemental learning, usually by system.
• Make reviewing flashcards a nightly ritual for about 2 hours.

Assessments:

• Take a baseline assessment to understand your current standing and identify weaker areas.
• Include at least one COMSAE in your assessments to familiarize yourself with the exam format.
• Subsequent NBME and UWorld assessments provide exposure to an authentic testing environment and valuable progress data.
• If the final assessment falls below a satisfactory level (recommended 90% probability of passing), consider delaying the exam for further review.

COMLEX-Specific Information:

• Leverage visual aids and spaced repetition through flashcards for the microbiology emphasis in the COMLEX exam.
• Integrate a COMLEX-specific QBank for the last 2 weeks of the schedule.
• Focus on OMM (Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine) in a targeted manner towards the study period’s end.

Using the 10-Week Study Calendar to Combine USMLE and COMLEX Preparation:

• This calendar offers a dual preparation approach for both USMLE Step 1 and COMLEX Level 1.
• Schedule the USMLE exam one week prior to COMLEX, allowing a day off after the USMLE and four days to review COMLEX material.
