How to get the most from these guides
- Start with a timeline that is realistic for the hours you actually have.
- Sitting the SNLE? Start from the official blueprint — the four sections carry fixed weights, and your week should carry the same ones.
- Pair every question session with an immediate review of your mistakes.
- Keep Internal Medicine, Surgery, Paediatrics and OB/GYN in balance.
- Do not measure progress in hours — measure it in the quality of your repetition and in better clinical decisions.
