Question Bank Strategy

[GMDMD]

Since most people seem to block out their studying schedule by subjects, when you do questions, do you restrict the bank to questions only from the material you studied that day, or do you guys just do random questions from any subject?

I'm curious because it seems like restricting your questions would be a great way to reinforce the material you're learning that day. On the other hand, I feel like I may be handicapping myself because for example if I'm doing cardio I know that each question is cardio-related and I won't be thinking outside the box much. But doing random questions I think might also slow me down because I will end up looking up material for questions I am less familiar with.

Any opinions? Thanks!

I believe the questions you have are similar to the ones I had earlier.

Max helped me understand the concept of doing questions effectively.
