FMGE 90-Day Study Plan
Ninety days is enough to close a real gap — if the time goes to the right places. This plan is built in three phases, each with a clear job.
Before you start: two numbers
- Target gain = (150 − your last score) + about 15 safety marks. With no negative marking, that's the number of extra correct answers you need.
- Real study hours = study days you'll actually have × realistic hours per day.
The free Gap Calculator gives you both in seconds.
Phase 1 — Repair (days 1–40)
Job: fix what cost you the most marks last time.
- Start with your weakest big subjects (see how to prioritise by weightage).
- Study a topic, then do questions on it the same or next day.
- Start an error log on day one. Every wrong question: what you chose, why it was wrong, a one-line fix.
- If your main problem was coverage, go broad before deep. If it was recall, revisit each subject at least three times rather than one long pass.
Phase 2 — Consolidate (days 41–67)
Job: turn knowledge into marks.
- Second pass over your weak subjects; first proper pass over the middle group.
- Mixed-subject question blocks — the real exam doesn't arrive sorted by chapter.
- One full-length, timed mock every week, taken in one sitting at the same time of day as the exam.
- Analyse every mock: score, blanks (target zero), time left, weakest subjects, error types.
Phase 3 — Simulate (days 68–90)
Job: be exam-ready.
- Two full mocks per week (none in the final two days).
- Third, fast pass over weak subjects; quick revision of everything.
- Reread your error log at least twice.
- No new resources. Finishing what you have beats starting something new.
A weekly template
| Day | Main block | Second block |
|---|---|---|
| Mon | Weak subject — study | Questions on same topics |
| Tue | Weak subject — study | Questions |
| Wed | Middle subject — study | Mixed questions |
| Thu | Weak subject — study | Questions |
| Fri | Middle / strong subject | Mixed questions |
| Sat | Full mock (from Phase 2) | Mock analysis |
| Sun | Light: reread error log | Rest |
If you work or have an internship
Protect one fixed daily block before anything else — even two hours. Consistency beats occasional heroic days. If your real hours are far below what your gap needs, consider the following session; FMGE is moving to three sessions a year from 2027 (confirm on NBEMS).
Read your mock trend, not one score
Rising mock scores: keep going. Flat for three mocks in a row: change the method (more questions, more revision, better pacing) rather than adding more hours of the same thing.
