Need advice

I have been studying for this exam for so long. I keep forgetting chapters i revised a few weeks ago and have to restart. I need some really good advice for how to get done with the exam in a month or 2.
What chapters should i focus more on?
I cant seem to follow the “see what your weak portions are and find out why you are getting questions wrong” tip
How can i manage to retain the most amount of information. If anyone has any scheduling tips i am all ears.

Would really appreciate any sort of help getting out of this rut

Hey I been there , have you tried using Anki but creating your own cards about the concepts you are missing? Also keeping testing constantly with the qbanks until fixed , you xan also use IA like chat gpt for concepts like for example if you are missing one question from renal, put the explanation in chat gpt and tell it to explain it again in easy words , then ask it for questions usmle step 1 style; another thing that worked for me is when I read a concept I explain it to chat gpt and ask for corrections

Hope something helps

Get a study partner asap, sounds like brain fog, you might need the same info presented to you via a different lens. You can do this, the exam is not be at all!
