One of the common questions that puzzles step takers is how many time should they repeat Kaplan lecture notes before taking step 1?

So let's start a thread with an associated poll and let's see what you think about this.

Personally I think two times is enough and in the second time there's no need for the associated video.

u and suzan make it seem so easy. i've only done some subjects once without videos. but when i do the kaplan q-banks without referring back to the notes (to test myself), the score is only 65% to 85%. is that enough? of course i learn from my mistakes. but i can't help testing myself each time. then i panic when its only 65%!!!

i wanna eat my own arm!!:mad:

:) I am so grateful that you guys have a poll for this and a discussion. Well, I went through the first round of Kaplan using the video and the notes. While doing the questions after each topic, I will refresh my memory if there are things that I have forgotten.

I think while doing the qbank, I will do the same too.

I think this varies from person to person! According to me quality matters more than quantity. If you are able to make 2 extensive reads and trying to recall as much as possible with active learning. Its the best as you are able to eliminate the aliment of fatigue and exhaustion!
