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 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 want to emphasize here that if you get the first reading very well then all other subsequent reading will be easy, quick, and smooth.
So do your first reading as if you will never read the material again, this is very important
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!
depends person to person
if getting good marks and grasp of topics no need even first time only FA is enough
i think testing is more important than passive reading
testing and then improving in weak areas
I think 2 Times is enough.After that use First aid & Qbanks
