Ok so I know I’ve posted multiple similar cries for help the past few days. But here I am again…

I took my first mock exam yesterday with a 66. Did another one today and got a 73. It only took me about 2 hours, which I think is partly because I’d already seen lots of the questions from the test bank and also because I did a lot of guessing. I know the score is not bad, but I just don’t feel good about it. I felt uncertain with many of my responses and just gave up and guessed on plenty of them.

I am burnt out, really tired of doing quizzes, and starting not to care. This is not a good attitude to have 8 days out but I don’t know how to turn it around. I don’t want to go into the exam with this level of confidence and this amount of guessing. Any suggestions on how I should focus my studies at this point? MCQ have seemed to only help me so much. I need a revised strategy…

are you working on sims?

[itooshallpass]

@ana Not a whole lot besides the 8 in the mock exam. But even with those, they are all ones I've done before in the Roger quizzes so I don't fee like it's a good use of time. I do have Ninja though and could be using those more.

On a side note, is there a way to line up more than one ninja Sim at once? It's just annoying to go back to the setup each time…

I'd recommend working on sims. it forces you to understand the material better and you don't have the crutch of guessing from the MC. In review, go back and forth working on mcq, sims, and reviewing notes so you don't get stuck on one type of thing.

@Ana ,do you think practicing SIMs is helpful for MCQ too ? Is Becker's good enough for MCQ ?

[Ana]

Becker's mcq is harder than the actual test. I think sims are a great tool to really test your knowledge. Pre test change I'd say never practice or look at sims but now the exam tests a deeper understanding so it helps cultivate those skills. @wanna have you taken bec?

[Wannafree]

@thanks Ana , yes luckily I am done with BEC before change.

I agree with @Ana – study the sims! In my opinion, if you can do the Sim on the topic you can do the MCQs on that topic, and not necessarily the other way around. You can't really guess on Sims unless you are narrowing it down to two numbers. In my experience, I have seen Sims in Becker that closely resemble Sims on the exam. Chances are you will see similar topics!
