PrepU Strategies?

Last week was my first week in one of my core nursing classes, Concepts I. It's been great so far. I'm in an accelerated program with classes being only 5 weeks long (in reality only 15 class nights) so that's always fun and challenging.

Anyways, our quizzes are all on PrepU and I've been doing great. We have to reach a mastery level of 8 in order to get a 100% for the quiz grade in class. I'm just curious though if there is any sort of strategy to taking the PrepU's? I can take the questions in groups of 5, 10, or 20 but that hasn't seemed to make a difference in how often I level up. I can take 20 questions, get them all correct, and not have my level change. Then on the next round I can take only 5 questions, miss 2, and increase in mastery level.

Any tricks to this?

My school also used PrepU as "quiz grades". What we noticed was that because the software is so new many of the books/prepu codes have not been calibrated until thousands of questions have been taken for that particular book. I was always one of those students that tried to knockout homework first thing but it seemed to really benefit the students who waited until we had taken 100s of questions which allowed them to level up much quicker.
