Practice means you do the problems and understand the underlying elements that are being tested. So it really doesn't matter if you work off a book, a computer or even toilet papers, the idea is to learn from it.

hahaha Agree with you!

Basically, practice without reviewing and learning concepts really has little benifits! I would say even review the question you got right especially in Quant as there is always a better or quicker way to solve a question. All the best with prep!

One thing that I do that has helped me is to go back and read the section on the topic of any problem that I miss. This way it helps me improve my weaknesses.
