Regarding writing down notes on MCQs you missed, I thought I would pass along my habit that I really feel helped me. As I was going through all the MCQs, if there was a question I didn't KNOW the answer to, or a question that I really wanted to pound in, I would take a screenshot of the box that came up with the explanation and correct answer (in other words, if I got it wrong, I'd go back and answer it until I got it right, then take a screenshot of that box with the explanation included). I pasted this picture into a word document. Three can fit on a page. Then I printed this word doc and went over it again and again. I really feel this helped save time by not doing MCQs I had already mastered, and focused time on the ones I needed help with. And for me, having them in a different format (i.e. on paper that can be taken to the grocery store, stuffed in a purse, left in the bathroom, etc.) helped.
To do this:
1. When you've got the window up that you want to take a screenshot of, hold down the ALT button and then press “print screen” on your keyboard (usually on the upper row, over on the right, ALT printscreen should just take a picture of the active window rather than your whole desktop).
2. Open a word doc, set the margins to narrow and press CTRL-V (which is paste).
3. Click on the picture it inserted, and if you want to cut off the excess, under “picture tools – format” at the top of the screen, click on “crop”. Use the two corner handles to drag in the borders to eliminate the excess.
4. If you'd like, add a border by right clicking on the picture, clicking format picture, and under line color choose solid line.
You can add the crop and border tools to the “ribbon” so they're a one click shortcut key. If you want to make the box smaller so you can get more on a page, click off the picture (to deselect the crop tool), then click back on it and use the corner “dots” to enlarge or shrink the picture. Switch between windows quickly by using ALT-TAB (you'll need to know that for the work world so you can switch off a screen when your boss is headed your way without touching your mouse).
All this sounds like it takes forever, but if you add the shortcuts to the ribbon, you can do it in less than 5 seconds per screenshot.
PLEASE NOTE: This is not a substitute for doing MCQs over and over. This is a help that enabled me to do MORE MCQs because I wasn't struggling with the same ones over and over a week apart.
