Step I Ending vs suspending UWorld tests

[okokok]

This seems like such a basic question, but no one seems to be able tell me the differences between suspending and ending a UW block on the first pass. One of my professors told me that I should suspend, but everyone I know ends them....are there things you can do with a suspended exam (like review wrong answers) that you can't do with an ended exam? Also, how do you even redo wrong/flagged questions? The UW site is no help at all for this.

I dont think you can review (on test mode) if suspended because they arent graded until you end them. Once you end then, you can always open them up and suspend them again so I'm not sure it matters

If you end the exam then it automatically grades the answers and you can no longer change answers or answer unfinished questions. Suspending the test allows you to go back where you left off and finish the test or change answers.

You can resume and change answers to ones that have ended and are graded (except for the two part ones where you can't change them after you finish them)

Also if your doing incorrects, by suspending the test your preventing them from being added to your total incorrect count. If you end it, any incorrects in that test will be added to your total.

I guess your professor is referring that you do your blocks on tutor mode.

It's basically a pause button
