What’s the point of NINJA MCQs repeating over and over again?

    NINJA Question –

    I have done 420 NINJA MCQs today and noticed that they are repeated over and over and over again. I do them in sessions of 30 MCQs, and the last session had about 75% of the MCQs repeated from sessions I did either earlier today or last night. I scored 87% on that one, which is not very good given that I had seen almost all of the questions less than 24 hours ago. One of the other sessions I had relatively few repeating questions, and scored a low 70% 🙁

    What is the point of this? If I have delivered a correct answer to a MCQ, I don’t want to see it again unless I specifically ask for a repetitive session.

    This is really frustrating and it feels like NINJA MCQs are wasting my pretious time, with one week of study time to go.

    It gives you the option to choose “new questions.” Just go to “Custom & Sims” instead of “MCQ.”

    Thanks.

    Just noticed this and will use that functionality instead, makes a lot more sense to me.

    I just did 30 MCQs and scored 93% in 23 minutes, which strange enough is significantly better than my 87% I have done over my last 4 sessions a 30 MCQs each, which repeted certain questions. Do you know if the “new question” functionality somehow starts of with easier ones, or was I just lucky?

    Gonna try another 30 new MCQs now to see how it goes. Done 380 MCQs in NINJA today so getting a little tired of it.. will be the last session now for today!

    Those are definitely Jeff questions. I have been doing “new” questions across the board since the beginning and felt like they were a mix of hard and medium. I'm about halfway through the “Adaptive learning” phase and haven't noticed a change in difficulty.

    Disclaimer: I did ALL of the Wiley Test Bank questions already so my impression of hard/easy could be skewed. My exam is tomorrow.

    “Those are definitely Jeff questions.” – means?

    Thanks. I need a miracle.

    “Do you know if the “new question” functionality somehow starts of with easier ones, or was I just lucky?” I guess it was just one question, but I don't know the answer. If you look in the upper right of this screen there's a green bar/link to “ask Jeff.” I'm sure he can answer any questions about the Ninja MCQ.

    Ah, got it. I thought you meant that those questions were written by Jeff and becouse of that were different from the others. Which I know wouldn't make any sense, but that's how I read it :p

    Well I continue to believe that the “new questions” follow a different pattern than when clicking the “MCQ” button and getting random questions. For some reason I score 90%+ on the “new questions”, which is odd given that I have seen a big portion of the others before.

    Something fishy going on with these questions, I am now down below 70% in average, from being above 90% on several 30 MCQ sessions in a row this morning.

    Your Trending Score very well may have dropped…it's a weighted average of the content per the Content Specification Outling

    We added new content in the past week, so it may have tweaked the stats.
