How are you using QBank? Tutor or timed mode? How long does it take you to go over it?

I'm doing questions from Uworld in tutor mode. I think this works well for me because if I get a question wrong I'm able to understand well why I got it wrong at that point instead of finishing all the questions and then going over the wrong questions.

Whats the efficient and proper way of doing it?

I also go through the correct answers along with the wrong ones, but that's taking a lot of time too. It takes me sometimes more than a day to go over 46 questions with big paragraphs from Uworld... I don't write down everything, but take short notes.

Should I skip going over the correct questions and focus on the wrong ones to speed up my process? I plan to take the exam in few months.

I'm using Uworld question bank along with FA+DIT notes and plan to use NBME as an assessment of my progress.

Please tell me how are you guys doing qbanks or if you already took it how should it be done?

Thank you!

Best way is whatever works for you, but ofcourse you won't know what worked until after the exam 🙂
My advice is to do what you are doing now
Take your time w/ the Qs, go over all the wrong choices & the correct one, take notes
Quality of Qs studies is better than the quantity
As Ron Swanson says "Never half-ass 2 things, full-ass one thing"

Thank you for your reply. This is what I do, when I start studying each day, I write down whatever I can recall from previous day's questions and see if I missed anything and highlight that to go over again later then I continue on with the renaming questions.

But, I will take your advice and continue with what I'm currently doing.
