A Personal Note From Me, Dr. Sehar, Before You Begin the Final Month

Hey future doctor,

If you’re reading this, you’re probably counting down the days to your AFK exam with a mix of excitement and stress—and I completely understand.

This final month? It’s intense. You might feel overwhelmed, second-guessing yourself, or trying to cram everything at once. But let me tell you something important:

The last 30 days aren’t about learning more. They’re about applying what you already know—with clarity, confidence, and calm.

And I’m here to walk you through how to do just that.

Why the Last 30 Days Are More Mental Than Material

Shift from Learning Mode to Performance Mode

This is the biggest mindset shift I work on with my Dentabest students during our one-on-one sessions. You’re not trying to “know more” at this point—you’re preparing to perform under exam conditions.You’ve done the reading, the notes, the classes. Now it’s time to simulate the exam and sharpen your decision-making.

Avoid the Biggest Pitfalls in the Final Weeks

Here’s what I see too often (and help my students avoid):

• Cramming new material from random sources
• Ignoring weak topics because they feel “too hard”
• Taking mock exams without proper feedback
• Burning out from non-stop studying

Let’s replace all that with a plan that works.

The Top 5 Priorities for Your Final Month of AFK Prep

1. Mastering Mock Exams (Not Just Taking Them)

Don’t just take a mock and move on. Review it deeply.

At Dentabest, I go over every mock personally with students—highlighting not just what you got wrong, but why. Was it overthinking? Misreading? Fatigue?

These insights are gold.

2. Reviewing Weak Areas—Not Avoiding Them

That one topic you keep skipping? That’s your biggest opportunity right now.

Instead of avoiding pharmacology or pathology, let’s build small, manageable review blocks. I help you approach those tricky areas without fear.

3. Practicing Real-Time Decision-Making

This is where we train your brain.

I give students timed question sets and then we debrief together. We analyze how you arrived at each answer—not just whether it was correct.

This builds confidence, logic, and awareness of cognitive bias (remember that from our last blog?).

4. Building Exam-Day Stamina and Focus

The AFK is mentally exhausting. Practicing a full-length mock helps you build mental endurance—something I coach closely in our weekly plans.

We even do mini-exams during coaching calls to help build resilience.

5. Strengthening Mental Resilience and Confidence

I know it’s scary. The pressure is real. That’s why every Dentabest session includes motivation, mindset work, and support.

Because how you feel walking into the exam matters just as much as what you’ve studied.

My Proven Weekly Strategy for the Last 4 Weeks (Your Countdown Plan)

Here’s how I personally structure the final month with my AFK students:

Week 1: Mock Assessment and Focus Alignment

• Take a full mock exam
• Identify your strong and weak topics
• Build a custom study roadmap (I help you with this directly)

Week 2: Targeted Review and Timed Practice

• Daily 2-hour focused topic blocks
• Practice 25–30 MCQs in each session
• Start managing time under pressure

Week 3: Full Mock + Feedback

• Take another full mock under timed conditions
• Deep feedback session with me—understand why you miss certain questions
• Focus on efficiency and clarity

Week 4: Light Revision + Rest

• Review flashcards, notes, high-yield questions
• Short sessions only
• Prioritize sleep, calm, and confidence

This final month isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about being strategic, focused, and most importantly—kind to yourself.

You’ve made it this far. You’re doing great.

Let’s cross the finish line together.
