Study Plans
Unless otherwise specified, this study plan is intended to be used Monday-Friday. We generally recommend two days off for every five days of studying to prevent burn-out.
To purchase a study plan customized to fit your unique situation, please visit our Student Advising page, call (817) 347-7316 anytime from 8:30am to 6:30pm CST Monday through Friday or email us to set up an appointment with one of our student advisers.

- Take an 8 hour home practice test using your electronic question bank in “mixed question mode” and then brush up on weak areas indicated from results of test.
- The last 5 days before your test, re-read First Aid (a fifth of the book daily) and re-review highest-yield topics of DIT.
- Take the day off before the exam and relax. Do not study and completely rest yourself so you can be clear-headed and ready to perform on your exam day.
Important Notes:
- Place a check mark on the upper right-hand corner of a page completed to keep track of what you have already done.
- Meet with a study partner 2-3 times a week to quiz each other over the First Aid pages read in previous weeks.
- Each week, set aside a small amount of time to quickly review the First Aid pages that you read the previous week.
- Our blog – The DIT Student Center – is a place where students can be confident that they are getting advice from an expert. Our chief blogger Melodee Mancuso, PhD, shares her wealth of knowledge from over 25 years experience at the University of Texas Medical Branch, most recently as the Director of Academic Support Services and Career Counseling.
