USMLE study schedule

Yeesh, the BSc is getting intense. I'm working hard, but unfortunately that means that I've been neglecting my USMLE studies for a few weeks. The USMLEs are a series of exams that all doctors that have qualified abroad but wish to practice medicine in the USA need to take. I was in America in the summer of 2003 as part of an international exchange with the University of Delaware, and really loved it. It's my dream to spend some time practicing there. Though I found the attitudes of a small minority of people in the USA sometimes disconcerting, the majority of citizens are really nice and interesting, as well as being some of the most innovative and hard-working people in the world. So I really really need to study. What do you think of my schedule for the second-half of November?
