Your 5–8 Week Battle Plan

Phase 1 · Weeks 1–2
Build the Foundation
45–60 min/day on off days, 20 min on shift days
Focus: Science — Human A&P (the biggest chunk of the exam)
🍸
Sam's Edge
You already know more than you think. Every time you've watched someone have a panic attack at the bar, or helped someone who drank too much — that's the nervous system, cardiovascular system, and liver in action.
Phase 2 · Weeks 3–4
Math & Science Finish
Split: 30 min math, 30 min science on study days
Focus: Math (dosage calc, percentages, fractions) + Biology & Chemistry
🍸
Sam's Edge
Bartending math IS nursing math. You already do ratios (1.5 oz per drink × 6 drinks), percentages (20% tip on $240), and unit conversions (oz to mL) every single shift. That muscle is already there — you just need to formalize it.
Phase 3 · Week 5
Reading & English
45 min/day — lighter mentally than science
Focus: Reading comprehension strategies + English grammar & vocabulary
🍸
Sam's Edge
You read people for a living. You know when someone's being honest vs. running a line, when someone's persuading vs. informing. That's exactly what Reading Craft & Structure tests. Trust that instinct.
Phase 4 · Weeks 6–7
Full Test Mode
1 full section timed per study day. Review EVERY wrong answer.
Focus: Timed practice tests + targeted weak-area review
🍸
Sam's Edge
This phase separates people who 'kind of studied' from people who pass. The difference is reviewing why you got things wrong — not just moving on. Spend as much time on wrong answers as on new material.
Phase 5 · Week 8 (Test Week)
Land the Plane
30 min max. Flashcards only. No new material.
Focus: Light review, logistics, mental prep
🍸
Sam's Edge
The night before a big night at work, you don't try to learn new cocktail recipes. You prep your station, rest, and trust your training. Test day is the same.
