The 3 Prong Approach<br />

16<br />

The Study Plan is broken<br />

down into:<br />

Categories<br />

Each category is<br />

broken up into days<br />

and each day<br />

represents:<br />

2-4<br />

Hour Blocks<br />

For example, Behavioral Sciences is estimated to take 16 hours to complete. Thus, it is broken up<br />

into 5 days with each day averaging between 2 and 4 hours. If you’re looking to begin studying on<br />

Monday, you can comfortably spend Monday through Friday studying in the determined blocks<br />

of time and have the weekend off.<br />

However, because everyone is on a different studying path and time frame, we put this entire<br />

guide together to allow you to customize your study time. Regardless of where you are in relation<br />

to <strong>Step</strong> 1, whether you’re six months out or two, you can accurately gauge how much time it will<br />

take for each category and plan your personal life accordingly. Obviously, the sooner you start,<br />

the more breathing room you’ll have, so don’t procrastinate!<br />
