Eight weeks. Both papers. Systematic coverage. Here is the plan.
Weeks 1-2: Diagnostic and Setup. CRA framework mapping — download the framework, understand the content areas. Baseline diagnostic: GPhC official questions + iatroX diagnostic quiz. Identify weakest therapeutic areas and calculation types. Set up daily routine.
Weeks 3-5: Systematic Coverage. Part 2 therapeutics — high-weight areas first (cardiovascular, CNS, endocrine, infections). Daily Part 1 calculation practice (10 questions/day). iatroX adaptive quiz 15 min/day targeting weak areas. BNF verification of every wrong answer.
Week 6: Law and Low-Weight. Law and governance focused block. Medium-weight therapeutic areas. Continue daily calculations (increase to 15/day). Mid-point mock exam.
Week 7: Mock Exams. Full mock exams — both parts under timed conditions (Part 1: 40 calculations, 2 hours; Part 2: 120 SBA, 2.5 hours). Analyse performance. Target persistent weak areas.
Week 8: Final Push. Final mock exam. Light revision of weak areas. Rest before exam day. Do not cram.
Daily routine: 30 min Part 2 Q-bank + 15 min iatroX adaptive + 10 min Part 1 calculations + BNF verification. Total: ~70 min/day.
