Visual Priority Guide
Think of the 19 subjects in three tiers for time allocation: Tier 1 (Surgery, Medicine, OBG, Pathology) together contribute over 40% of the paper — these deserve the largest share of revision time. Tier 2 (Microbiology, Pharmacology, PSM, Paediatrics) form a solid middle layer worth consistent but lighter revision. Tier 3 (the remaining 11 subjects) individually contribute fewer questions each, but collectively still make up roughly a quarter of the paper — quick, high-yield-topic-only revision works well here rather than deep study.
