The 10-Day Biochemistry Study Plan features an organized approach to mastering one of the hardest topics new students face in medical school. As a streamlined resource, it will help you get through all the nitty-gritty details you need to know on metabolism, cellular signaling, and other dense topics.
To use the study plan, you need an AMBOSS account. You can activate 5 days of FREE access to explore the platform once you are registered.
Start the AMBOSS Biochemistry 10-Day Study Plan
Make every day count with a comprehensive Biochemistry study plan created by AMBOSS physicians.
Each day features a list of topics and a Question Bank session to go through. Here’s how we recommend you get the most out of the plan:
- Carefully go through the topics listed in high-yield mode, and don’t get intimidated by the number of topics you see; we’ve only chosen the most condensed, exam-relevant information you need to know to score high on the exam.
- Follow that up with each day’s curated Question Bank question session. Questions are randomized across the topics covered that day but ordered by difficulty, going from easiest to most challenging, allowing you to gradually build up your knowledge and strengthen your diagnostic skills.
Of course, feel free to skip days or change the order as you see fit to better suit your needs.
