Hi everyone!
I am new to this forum, so please forgive me if this is posted in the wrong area! I have begun my board studying now. I am in my last term of 2nd year and plan on taking the test in mid or late October. The date will be decided based on how I score on the comprehensive exam my school offers at the end of the term. I am doing one block of Kaplan Qbank a day, 46 questions, random, timed, not on tutor mode. So far I have done 3 blocks of Qs and my scores have been erratic. I scored 43% on one day, 60% the next, and 43% again today. The diagnostic I took before all of this gave me a score of 67%. In addition to all of this, I am doing 2 hours of DIT a day, but I am moving very slowly through it (only on day 2, finishing the second hour). Anyways, after doing 3 blocks so far, I just wanted to know if I am approaching the Kaplan Qbank effectively as a study tool. I chose to do the questions at random and on a timed mode because that is how they will be offered on the real test. I review the answers the following day after I have taken a block and spend a good chunk of time going over both correct and incorrect answers. Anyways, I didn't want to continue doing Qbank questions the wrong way and end up wasting this resource. Any suggestions on how I should structure my studying would be helpful. Thank you for taking the time to read this
