Hi All,

Just wondering what you guys do for your post exam review sessions. What do you focus on ? How much time do you spend on reviewing your performance on the test ? Do you go through EVERY questions or just the ones you got wrong ?

Would be useful to hear how others approach their post (practice) test review sessions.

Thanks.

It's personal preference I think, but the important thing to do is analyze - your weaknesses, problems that occurred during the exam, inhibitors. For example, I realized after a few cats that it was hard for me to read the verbal material on the computer and focus. The computer format of reading sentences just messed with my concentration so I developed a pattern of using the mouse cursor to guide my line of sight while reading. This limited the amount of material my eyes focused on by providing a visual indicator on the screen.

You should hopefully review all questions, but if you are pressed for time then just do the wrong ones. You want to do all the questions because you may have guessed on some of them and gotten them right, which means they won't show up as "wrong" yet you didn't really have a firm grip on the question.

Yes, review ALL questions! Sometimes you get lucky. Sometimes you know what you're doing but there's a better way to do the problem and you didn't notice during the heat of the test - you still want to notice that afterwards! Often, you can use a problem you do know how to do to learn something about best ways to make an educated guess, or what traps exist in problems of this type and how to avoid them. That's a LOT easier to learn on problems you understand than on problems you don't completely understand.

Great points guys ! It is such a time intensive thing to do ... but certainly valuable. All boils down to quality prep vs quantity !

Thanks.
