Excellent . Writing things was also big part of my study habits. I attended EVERY class in college and medical school (before note taking groups were a thing), compared to some who skipped classes and said they could or would just read the textbook(s). My theory was that the professor would most likely choose test questions from what he/she presented in class, not what was in the textbook that was not presented in class.

I tried to take compulsively detailed notes of every fact and idea the professors said, including my no-artistic-skills-whatsoever copying of their often detailed diagrams that some had the amazing ability to draw while they lectured. I then compulsively required myself to hand copy those notes at a later date, a large part of my personal studying, neatly and well organized. Writing everything down TWICE was an excellent means for me to memorize and be able to recall almost all of it, sometimes without the need to read (study) it multiple times prior to exams.

I’m not sure how much copying and pasting and editing and aggregating would have the same effect but I suppose it’s pretty similar. Regardless, I’m happy that PointsQuest is multiple choice (affectionately know during parts of my education and training as multiple guess) and not fill in the blank .

Yup, seems like each time I’ve found 2 or 3 Reddit threads, each with 3 or 4 posts, few or none of which have ALL the Q & A.

Well of course, if you’re taking the test TWICE, you’ll undoubtedly get more than 5 different questions. I’m not a mathematician but I’d estimate that with 5 of ~16 total questions, if randomly chose, you might expect to get 1 or 2 repeat questions. I’ve suggested 2-3 minutes, clearly you should spend twice that .
