1. Re-reading instead of practicing
Highlighting textbooks feels productive but doesn't build exam-day recall. MCQ practice — with explanations — is what actually trains the pattern recognition the real exam rewards.
2. Skipping weak subjects
It's natural to keep practicing what you're already good at. But your score is determined by your weakest areas, not your strongest — track your subject-wise accuracy and redirect time accordingly.
3–5: Other frequent gaps
A few more patterns show up again and again among candidates who struggle:
- Never taking a full-length timed mock before exam day — leading to pacing surprises
- Ignoring medication calculation practice because it 'feels' straightforward
- Starting verification/documentation steps too late, adding avoidable stress on top of studying
