So, I had used AATBS and taken all their practice exams, from the 40's to the mid 50's, and a few in the high 50's percentage wise. Then I used PrepJet for a month and my scores were all in the 40's and low 50's. PrepJet's questions were awkward and seemed purposefully ambiguous as though the goal was to ensure you do poorly more than the other companies. Then I signed up for another agency that offers 8 practice exams. My goal has been to take AS MANY full length practice exams as possible and to use the taking of practice exams as my way of studying. I feel like I do not have the luxury of "Studying," or reading...and I need to do thousands upon thousands of practice questions, some rote memorization, and some reading (but more like taking time to read the rational of the questions I got wrong, as compared to just sitting and reading about a topic.) The owner of the company, responded to me after I asked for clarification on a specific question and he wrote this "In general, I want to caution you about the use of our tests i'm noticing in the portal so far. It is our general recommendation to take 1 full-length exam every 1-2 weeks. While practice tests are important they are not actually the best way to study for the EPPP (against common online opinions) it is infinitely more important to pair them with significant study between exams and careful review of each item you've taken. We really advise against frequent testing in the way you have over the last 4 days as it tends to yield suboptimal results. This is free advice, you can take it or leave it. If at any time you're interested in 1:1 tutoring for the EPPP, including how to potentially maximize your use of our portal let me know. In general I would encourage you to prioritize taking full-length exams via exams on the left sidebar of the portal as the quizzes pull from the same questions you'll see on the full-length tests. If you frequently take small quizzes, what you'll find is they artificially inflate your scores on the exams as you'll have seen the questions/answers before. Your best insight to your current progress in your studies is with novel exams as you've noted so taking the exams first over a minimum of 8 weeks before taking daily quizzes is advised."
I have received a 63% and a 68% percent on my first two practice exams with this company. I am going to sign up with PsychPrep after I take/complete all practice exams offered with this company. I am also used AI to generate new questions for me. I have provided a copy of the DSM 5 digital version and the questions of past practice exams to have AI generate more questions.
I feel like the single and BEST way for me to prepare for the EPPP is to take as many practice exams as possible. Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions? Anyone completely disagree with this approach?
