Duke Elder Study Plan

A good Duke Elder plan is simple: find your weak topics early, cover the whole syllabus systematically, then spend your final weeks turning knowledge into exam performance. This four-phase plan scales to the time you have around your studies.

Last updated 21 July 2026

1 · Set your baseline

Start with a short diagnostic across the syllabus. The goal is an honest map of where you stand, so your revision targets the topics that will lift your score the most.

2 · Cover the syllabus systematically

Work through each topic area in turn, pairing focused reading with exam-style questions on the same topic while it is fresh. Do not skip optics, basic sciences or public health.

3 · Target your weak areas

Use your per-topic accuracy to prioritise. Spend disproportionate time on your lowest-scoring topics, let spaced repetition resurface material before you forget it, and use the AI tutor to unpick your mistakes.

4 · Consolidate under exam conditions

In the final weeks, shift to timed, mixed practice that mirrors the real paper. Review every question you get wrong, confirm the underlying point, and track your readiness.
