- Learn characteristic adverse effects: red man syndrome (vancomycin), gray baby syndrome (chloramphenicol), dry cough (ACE inhibitors), tendon rupture (fluoroquinolones).
- Practise pharmacokinetic numericals: loading dose = Vd × target concentration, half-life = 0.693 × Vd / CL.
- Group drugs by mechanism (for example, all proton pump inhibitors or all loop diuretics) instead of memorising them one by one.
- Use the explanations on the score card to revise, then retake the test with shuffled questions.
