USMLERx Qmax usage

Hi,

So I'm just starting QMAX from USMLERx on tutor/untimed alongside classes (M1) and planning a reset later.


I was wondering how you guys would go about creating 'tests'; they only allow you to delete 60 tests total but I'm unsure of how many 'tests' you can have...

So far I've just created 44 question 'tests', each with difference questions for the particular organ system we're doing (so like ~5 tests per organ system)

Anyone have any general advice about approach this?

Best,

I've done the whole Qbank, I think you can have as many tests as you want.

Also, and I'm in a different place in that I'm in M2 studying for step 1, but 15 question 'tests' + review is most convenient for me. That way I study in shorter, and more intense bursts. 44q block takes a while and then going back to review all 44 afterwards is a chore. Its easier for me to break it up. But thats mainly because I don't have problems with running out of time or pacing on tests. If you know that is a weakness for you, then yeah I'd probably suggest doing full blocks timed.

I don't get this- what is the point of deleting tests then? Why would they limit you?

You delete all your tests so that the soft-ware clears up the 'cumulative' percentages ... I'm guessing.
