When doing Destroyer problems..

Hey everyone, I will be starting to work through Destroyer here in the coming weeks. I was just wondering how I should go about reviewing the answers to the questions I miss.

I wasn't sure if it would be better to go over the answers to the questions the same day I take do them. Or would it be better to go over the answers the following day? I would still be doing new problems every day, but say I'm doing questions for day two and reviewing what was right/wrong from the previous day?

I am going to go over them no matter what, I just wasn't sure if people who have done it one way or another thought that it helped or hurt how they retained the information. I will be making flashcards for the topics I seem to struggle with and will be going over those throughout the time I'm going through Destroyer.
I was thinking that it would be better to go over the answers the following day, that way I see the material 2 days in a row instead of twice in one day and then sleeping it off. Any input of doing it one way or the other would be appreciated!

I'd say do about 25 and then check the answers. This way you'll learn what you did wrong and hopefully won't miss out on a similar question. That's what I did.

Ok, sounds good. I appreciate the input. I will be reviewing these missed questions/topics throughout the studying too, so I will see it multiple times. I just wasn't sure if one way was better or to sleep on it. Thanks!

You need to take 40 bio questions in 30 minutes then review your answers. Never do questions that dont simulate test environment. Always timed and always like the DAT. Knowing is nothing if you dont do it in the time allowed.

Good point. Ill consider setting an alarm when I begin!

Wouldnt it be better if you went over the questions untimed for the first time? Thats what im doing... For the second time through Ill time myself.

I went over the answers the same day after doing about 15-20 questions in the beginning. I even looked at the answers immediately if I don't know how to solve the problem right away. For me I learn better when I associate the solution with the specific question type right away. I also went through the GC/OC destroyers 4 times. I didn't really time myself per say, but I was forcing myself to do every question quickly during my third and fourth run through the Destroyer. Ended up getting 25GC and 23OC.
