* Read 2 and 3 should also include USMLE World, Q Bank, Q Book, First Aid, etc… according to your selections.

Usually, the preferred route is to solve the qbank subject wise, along with the 2nd read. ie. complete reading a subject, solve its qbank and then move to the next subject. Most of the people prefer to solve the UW in timed mode, after completing the third reading.

** 1st read should end in 2 months, 2nd in 2.5 months, 3rd in 3-4 weeks, and final read in 2 weeks.

This is the scheme made keeping in view suggestions/recommendations from a wide group of seniors... Schedules may vary from person to person... This is just a general outline…
