NBME Study Plan Generator for Step 1 and Step 2 CK

The NBME study plan generator asks for the exam, the date, your latest three-digit result, your target, your daily hours, your weak subjects and the resources you own.

Back comes every week until test day, labelled with its phase, carrying four sized daily blocks and any form due — the whole NBME study plan generator output on one page.

A feasibility verdict sits at the top. No line of the NBME study plan generator is encouragement; each one is a block with hours or a form with a week.

Print it, copy it as plain text, or keep several NBME study plan generator versions side by side and watch what moves when your next score lands.

The NBME study plan generator runs in your browser. No account, no email step, and nothing you type is uploaded anywhere.

Every number the NBME study plan generator prints comes from a rule written in advance, so the same inputs always produce the same schedule.

That is also why the NBME study plan generator will tell you a target is out of reach rather than invent a confident-sounding timeline for it.

Whole days between today and the exam become calendar weeks, capped at forty, and the NBME study plan generator splits them into foundation, rotation, testing and taper.

In a study schedule of six weeks or more the last two are taper. About 35% of what remains goes to foundation and about 20% to testing, with rotation taking the rest.

An exam 84 days out becomes twelve NBME study plan generator weeks: foundation 1–4, rotation 5–8, timed blocks 9–10, taper 11–12.

The NBME study plan generator cuts your hours into four blocks on a quarter-hour grid that sums back to the number you entered: questions, review of incorrects, content, spaced repetition.

At eight hours a day the NBME study plan generator writes a foundation week as 2.75 h of questions, 1.5 h of review, 2.75 h of weak-subject content and 1 h of spaced repetition.

A testing week moves to 3.5 h, 2.25 h, 1.25 h and 1 h. Flag yourself as an IMG or a graduate and the NBME study plan generator shifts five percentage points from raw volume into content for the first two phases.

Rest is scheduled rather than assumed in every NBME study plan generator week: one full day off, no new material in the final 48 hours, the day before the exam clear.

Pick Step 1 and the NBME study plan generator switches to the pre-clinical subject list, from biochemistry and physiology through to biostatistics and genetics.

The ladder becomes NBME 25, 27, 30 and 31, finishing on the Step 1 Free 120, and the NBME study plan generator points every foundation content block at whichever subjects you flagged.

One caveat about targets. Step 1 has been pass or fail since January 2022, so a target of 215 asks the NBME study plan generator for roughly twenty points of cushion above the 196 passing standard.

Pick Step 2 CK and the NBME study plan generator switches to the clinical subject list, from internal medicine and surgery through to ethics and biostatistics.

The ladder becomes NBME 9, 11, 13 and 15, finishing on the Step 2 CK Free 120, and the rest of the study schedule does not change at all.

The target means more here. Step 2 CK still reports three digits against a 218 passing standard, so the NBME study plan generator is closing a real distance rather than a cushion.

It is also the exam most people sit on rotations, so the hours input earns its keep: enter four and the NBME study plan generator sizes every block to four.

By calendar length alone. The NBME study plan generator fits four assessments at ten weeks or more, three at seven, two at four, one at two, none below that.

With one slot the newest form wins outright. With two the NBME study plan generator gives you an early baseline and a late read — for Step 1, forms 25 and 31.

Forms are spent oldest first. A twelve-week Step 1 study schedule sits NBME 25 in week 2, NBME 27 in week 5, NBME 30 in week 7, NBME 31 in week 10 and the Free 120 in week 11.

That order is deliberate. Older forms are cheapest to spend, so the NBME study plan generator gives them the early calibration and saves the newest form for a late read.

Sit that Free 120 in one go at your real exam start time. A form taken untimed produces a number the NBME study plan generator cannot act on.

Comfortable, tight, aggressive or not realistic. The NBME study plan generator compares the points you need against one stated assumption about how fast scores move.

The NBME study plan generator prints that assumption with your plan rather than hiding it: roughly 1 point a week under four hours a day, 1.5 at four to five, 2 at six to seven, 2.5 at eight to nine, 3 at ten or more.

It scales for where you start, because the last ten points cost more than the first ten. Below 200 the weekly figure is multiplied by 1.15; 200 to 229 is left alone; 230 to 244 drops to 0.8; 245 upward drops to 0.6.

A student at 205 aiming for 235 gives the NBME study plan generator twelve weeks at eight hours a day: 30 points needed, and 2.5 × 12 is exactly 30.

The NBME study plan generator calls that tight but workable, and warns that a lost week has to be made up rather than absorbed.

A student at 230 aiming for 250 in six weeks at six hours a day is assumed 1.6 points a week by the NBME study plan generator: about 10 points on offer against the 20 needed.

That NBME study plan generator run comes back not realistic, projects roughly 240, and names three honest options: move the date, lower the target, or sit the exam expecting less.

None of this is a measured finding from a published study. It is the NBME study plan generator’s premise, written down so you can argue with it, and your own history outranks it.

Run the NBME study plan generator again after each form. A schedule built on a six-week-old baseline is planning for a student who no longer exists.

Keep the exam date fixed, enter the new result, and compare the fresh verdict with the last. That comparison is the most useful thing the NBME study plan generator produces.

A flat result is information, and the NBME study plan generator cannot read it for you. Same disciplines missing means a content gap; scattered misses usually mean pacing or stem misreading.

Holding several results rather than one? See where the schedule lands you and feed the blended figure into the NBME study plan generator instead.

With a raw practice result and nothing to feed the NBME study plan generator, check a Step 1 form against the plan or check a Step 2 CK form against the plan.

And on days the NBME study plan generator schedule falls apart entirely, a five-minute item for the light days keeps the habit alive.
