What you’ll get (at a glance)

Why this approach works

Medical training demands precision and endurance. Your study should, too. We combine cognitive science and performance psychology so you can:

  • Flatten the forgetting curve with spaced repetition 
  • Strengthen retrieval using active recall (not passive reading) 
  • Protect focus with timeboxing and short recovery windows 
  • Build exam confidence through communication and mindset techniques

“You wouldn’t use old technology on patients, so don’t use outdated study methods on yourself.”

— Dr Patsy Tremayne and Kell Tremayne, Study Less and Still Blitz Your Medical Exams

What Makes Us Different

Most study advice is anecdotal.

Ours is evidence-based.

We combine:

  • Elite performance coaching
  • Wellbeing and resilience training
  • Real stories from doctors who’ve been there

Whether you’re sitting your Fellowship, primary, or clinical exams, we’ll help you build a study plan that works for your brain, your schedule, and your life.

  • Our approach is built around four core pillars:
  • Structure

    We help you train your brain like a muscle—strong, flexible, and ready for the challenge ahead.

    “The most successful candidates don’t just study harder—they train smarter. Like elite athletes, they follow a system that balances effort with recovery, strategy with feedback, and knowledge with mindset.”

    Final Word

    You’re not just preparing for an exam. You’re preparing for a career that demands clarity under pressure, compassion under fatigue, and excellence under scrutiny.

    That kind of career deserves more than outdated advice and burnout-inducing study habits. It deserves a system that respects your time, protects your wellbeing, and empowers your performance. Because passing your exams isn’t just about what you know—it’s about how you prepare, how you recover, and how you show up when it matters most.

    So don’t settle. Don’t sacrifice your health for hustle. Don’t study harder - study smarter.
