Only twenty days left, and the syllabus still feels scattered? This 20-day MDCAT study plan gives you a specific chapter list for every day instead of asking you to decide what to study each morning. It is a compressed route through Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English and Logical Reasoning.

The plan at a glance
| Item | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Study route | 20 numbered days |
| PDF length | 19 pages |
| Subjects | Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English, Logical Reasoning |
| Course coverage | 98 ePrepare chapters and 307 distinct course topics |
| Daily subject limit | No more than two subjects |
| Daily study hours | Not fixed in the PDF; finish the assigned topic blocks |
| Scheduled practice | 2,000 MCQ attempts in total, calculated from the daily targets |
Daily practice totals range from 50 to 180 MCQs in this version. These are the PDF’s practice targets, not the number of questions in the MDCAT paper and not a claim that the PDF itself contains a question bank.
Who should choose the 20-day plan?
Choose this version if you have already studied much of the material and need a clear route through it again. Several days contain multiple chapters, so it is a demanding choice for learning every subject from scratch. Try the first day honestly before committing to the pace.
How this timetable is arranged
Compared with the 30-day plan, the extra compression is visible by Day 3: this version puts Enzymes and Bioenergetics together, alongside Gases and Liquids. Day 12 combines four Physics chapters. A shorter timetable does not mean less material.
| Subject | Course chapters | Study sessions | First and last appearance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Biology | 16 | 11 | Day 1 to Day 11 |
| Chemistry | 20 | 11 | Day 1 to Day 11 |
| Physics | 17 | 5 | Day 12 to Day 16 |
| English | 24 | 4 | Day 17 to Day 20 |
| Logical Reasoning | 21 | 4 | Day 17 to Day 20 |
A session means a subject appears on that day. One chapter can continue over several sessions, and one session can include more than one chapter. The first-to-last range does not mean that subject is studied on every intervening day.

How to use this plan without losing track
On a multi-chapter day, finish one chapter’s concepts and questions before opening the next. Keep a short error list so that quickly covering a topic does not become the same thing as understanding it.
- Start with the numbered day, not a guessed weekday. Day 1 can be the day you actually begin.
- Read the listed topics before opening a lecture. Finish the assigned part before switching to another chapter.
- Attempt the MCQs yourself. Review the reason for a mistake and reattempt it later without looking at the solution.
- Mark what you completed. If a task is unfinished, carry that task forward visibly rather than ticking the entire day.
Keep review time in your calendar. This PDF schedules course coverage through its last day. It does not set aside a separate final revision week or full-length mock-test phase. Arrange those around your exam date and actual progress.
Does this cover the complete MDCAT syllabus?
The file covers all 98 chapters and 307 topics in the ePrepare course hierarchy used to make it, across all five subjects. Those are platform course counts, not official PMDC unit counts. Compare the topic list with the syllabus that applies to your test, and prioritise the learning outcomes actually required.

Frequently asked questions
Can I download the 20-day MDCAT study plan?
Yes. Use Download the 20-day plan (PDF) near the top of this article. It opens the Google Drive download request for this exact file. The preview and Open in Google Drive link point to the same PDF.
How many hours should I study each day?
The PDF does not fix daily study hours. Start with the assigned topics and questions, then judge the time from your understanding and pace. The limit is two subjects, not two hours.
Are lectures and MCQ solutions included inside the PDF?
The PDF contains the schedule, topic lists, practice targets and learning links. It is not a full set of lecture notes or a solved question book. Linked learning resources may require the relevant ePrepare access.
What if I miss a day?
Keep a visible list of unfinished tasks and continue chapter parts in order. If your exam date is fixed, reassess the pace instead of repeatedly doubling the next day’s subjects. A longer plan is useful only when you actually have those days available.
How is this different from the 30-day plan?
Compared with the 30-day plan, the extra compression is visible by Day 3: this version puts Enzymes and Bioenergetics together, alongside Gases and Liquids. Day 12 combines four Physics chapters. A shorter timetable does not mean less material.
