Shift-Friendly Study Strategies
How full-time clinicians maintain high score consistency

Break sessions into micro-blocks: If on 12-hour shifts, complete a 15-minute Reading Part A test during lunch and one 45-minute Writing letter before bed.

Weekend simulation conditioning: Always reserve one weekend day for a full timed 4-module sitting to build stamina for the 3-hour official test.

Review error logs: 80% of score improvements come from reviewing why a distractor in Reading/Listening Part C misled you, rather than blindly doing new papers.
