I did the exam mode. If I didn't do well in a certain area, then I did the study mode and then retested in the exam mode.

The book tells you to do the exam mode once youre done with the book. Plus, it gives you practice sitting at the computer for a lengthy period of time. If there's some areas you need more practice on, i think you can specifically focus on those in quiz mode. I'm almost done with saunders. and i hope to re-test by the end of sept. good luck!

I'm different I guess, lol. I always used the study mode so that I could review the rationales immediately if I got one wrong or guessed correctly. I'd make note cards on the things I thought were important. Whatever works for you! Good luck.

hi, in my case i did the study mode in my saunder's with that i can see the rationale after each item:wink2: i did 100 question each day as well. then i also used kaplan. good luck to you:wink2: i think it works well with me because i passed the exam. stick also to the time you want to study. if you start 8am then do it until the end of your review.that way you will be able to discipline yourself and program your body when will be the time for your actual exam.hehe.

I did the study mode. I read all the rationales for each question. I found that sometimes even when I had the right answer - I was somewhat off the exact rationale the book gave. Also, I would only do only about 150 or so every day . I found not all at one time was also a big help. I did 2 sets of 75 one day then maybe the next a set of 100 and a set of seventy five, just to get the feel of going further than the "minimum". Good Luck.... :wink2:
