AAMC Question Packs and Section Bank question

Just wondering if this is something where you have to finish one whole question back in one sitting or if it's like Kaplan with their Q bank in that it's just a bunch of questions they randomly choose and you can generate your own test and come back to it whenever you'd like. I'm assuming the former, but want to double check.

You have the option of allowing each separate section to be timed and to be scored at the end. Or you can take each question one at a time and check as you go. You can also stop and return whenever.

Ah, but I believe I read somewhere on the AAMC about only being able to return to a Question Pack a maximum of 20 times?

You can return to it as many times as you want until you reach your last full use... but if you want the answers you clicked scored and reviewed, then it counts as "1 of 20" uses.

So, if you are only doing 1 passage at a time and are immediately clicking on "score test" to review, then you will need to be careful. Otherwise, if you're doing more than one passage at a time, it's not a big deal.

That being said, you can look back on each individual attempt you have ever done on each one of those sections. So, if there are, for example, 12 passages in CARS for QPack 1, I can do 1 passage at a time, get it scored, and look back on each individual passage's answers 12 separate times--and still have 8 full reviews left.

Its starts not "looks". So if you choose show answers you can answer every question and go back and see each answer and still have 19 starts left. And if u pause in the middle of the test no matter the option you select you can pause and return to that test an infinite number of times and that's only one of your 20 starts.

Ah that makes much more sense. Thank you so much Cookie Monster. I knew Sesame Street still had so much left to teach me.
