Not sure where to start with NBSTSA prep?
That feeling is the hardest part. You have the textbooks. You have the notes. You have the exam date circled. And every time you sit down, you end up asking the same question — what am I supposed to study today?
This planner answers that question for you.
Follow this 12-level, 4-stage plan and show up to exam day ready.
How it works
Every level has a job. You're not opening a textbook and hoping something sticks. You open the planner, look at the level you're on, and start. That's it. No guessing, no second-guessing, no wasted study sessions.
The 12 levels are grouped into 4 stages. Each stage builds on the one before it, so you're learning in an order that actually makes sense — not jumping between topics and forgetting what you covered two levels ago.
You'll always know where you are. Clearing a level is proof you moved forward. Twelve levels in, you're not hoping you're ready — you can see the work behind you.
Why levels instead of weeks?
Because you don't study on a calendar. You study on real life — shifts, school, clinicals, family, everything else.
Levels move at your pace. If a topic clicks fast, clear it and move up. If it doesn't, stay and work it until it does. You're never "behind schedule," because the schedule is you.
That matters more than it sounds. A week-based plan makes you feel like you're failing the moment life gets in the way. A level-based plan just waits for you. You pick up exactly where you left off, and the next step is already written down.
Who it's for
First-time test takers who want a clear path from day one.
Retakers who know the material is hard and need structure more than they need another textbook.
Anyone who's been "starting Monday" for three Mondays in a row.
Start at Level 1. Trust the order. Clear the levels. Show up ready.
You are not studying alone 💙
