Wiley Question –

Which do you guys prefer? For my final review I just want to focus on one.

I use Wiley book and testbank exclusively – no other resources. In the last 6 weeks or so prior to the exam I find myself exclusively using the testbank and revisit my notes (which I take from the book) for areas that I need to strengthen. The test bank actually has parts of the book baked into it. If you click on the notebook icon it has the subject matter being questioned in the MC it has review notes right from the book.

I usually do a 24 – 30 question sessions in the timeframe that I'm shooting for on the test. Then I review every question. In the last 3 – 4 weeks I do the sims as well. Usually end up doing a full test the weekend before the exam just to get a feel for the right pace.

I think the testbank has been a great tool. You should shoot to answer every question in it and review the missed questions towards the end.

Let me also say that I usually spend about 3 months w/ the book reading and doing MC questions prior to doing the test bank.

I would never go into a test w/o doing 50+ sessions in the testbank. It simulates the exam very well and the questions seem to be harder than the exam from what I've seen.

Practice like you play. Play like you practice.

You just made me feel better bro by saying the test bank seems harder than the exam because I've been scoring good on my first attempts. My test is on the 26th and I'm trying to start my final review on monday the 4th, so I can comprehensively do questions over and over up to my test date. A lot of people told me it's not really worth it to the practice exam but just work on progress tests. You think 21 days is good enough for a review? I think I can definitely do that.

I think doing progress tests is way more helpful because you get immediate answers. Maybe do one practice test just to make sure you're on track with time but I wouldn't do anymore than 2 of them.
