## Summary

The NBME Booster distills the retired NBME forms 20–33 into 1-line recall cards sorted system by system; pharmacology is 1 of those decks. In the final week before Step 1, run the NBME Booster pharmacology only, after pharmacology revision directly from First Aid, and drill missed cards with Pick & Mix. Pharmacology itself is learned in the first 10 days of prep with the FWRT method (48–72 hours), not with this deck. The rest of the final week: First Aid Rapid Review, FA Foundation Anki or NBME Booster Anki, Mehlman High-Yield Arrows, the Randy Neil PDF, Sketchy for micro and the NBME Images Anki. Nothing new.

## Key facts

- Every pharmacology question from the NBMEs (forms 20–33), as flashcards; NBME 34 has since been added to the Booster
- Runs once with the full Booster system by system (days 11–17 of the last month), then again on its own in the final week (days 28–29)
- Pharmacology revision from First Aid first, then the deck, then Pick & Mix on misses
- Not a learning deck: pharmacology is learned in the first 10 days with the FWRT method
- Final-week companion deck: the NBME Images Anki
