Doing questions to practice

Published

I have an interesting question for everyone. When you're doing practice questions... do you do one question at a time and then read the rationale? Or do you do several at a time and read the rational? Or do you do the complete amount you're going to do for that day and then go and read the rationale when you're all finished?

All during school I was doing one question at a time and then I would read the rationale for it and then continue to the next question. I used the Saunders Q & A mostly during the last semester of school and they have the answers right on the page so there is no flipping involved. Right now I have been using the Saunders comprehensive to do practice questions and there are between 16-50 questions at the end of each chapter.

Sometimes when I use Saunders Comprehensive and I would do one questoin and then go and read the rationale, I would accidentally get a glimpse of the answer of the next question and ruin it for myself, lol.

So what is everyones thoughts/opinions on this. What works best for you?

When you're getting closer to taking the nclex.. like say 4-6 weeks away.. Should you start doing all of the questions and then going back and reading the rationale when you're finished? Since thats kind of how the NCLEX will be, minus the rationale.

I would read the rationales as I go, in other words, each question I answer, I want to read the rationale immediately.

My style is answering all the given questions, then checking how much score i got, while reading the rationale.I am feeling taking a real test so i would give my best.
