This week I want to talk about how to use your practice questions for testing metrics! Everyone knows my favorite practice questions are from Pocket prep. I love that they are an affordable option, medium difficulty and that they have great explanations (something that the Inman lacks). As it is a phone app, it can be very tempting to also do them while you are distracted. The problem with doing so many on your phone when you aren't focused is #1 you aren't going to get a good metric as you aren't focused and #2 the next time you see the question you might get it right just because they have already read the explanation. The best way to use Pocket Prep to get metrics for the exam is to take a 100Q quiz on the computer version, in test taking conditions. This will give you a much better ready of how you are going. After your exam you should then go back and review not only the questions you got wrong, but make sure you understand what the other answer are and why the are wrong and also be sure to review any questions you got right, but guessed on. I also recommend tracking your metrics on your practice questions to monitor your improvement. If you want my tracking sheet I use for my students just email me!
If you want to see this type of review modeled, but sure to sign up for any of the tricky questions classes this week (see class schedule below). Don't forget that you can always set up a session to review practice questions with me to get a second set of eyes on where you are making mistakes as it often isn't just the topic, but also exam taking strategy. Prices are $50-$60 per hr depending on how many you purchase. Click visit website for full details.
If you want more structured guidance, we still have 5 more spots in the July group! Going forward all of the monthly classes will have the option for you to add on the recorded versions of the Sunday class material. This is a great option incase you need to miss a class or if you would benefit from hearing the material explained again. See below for full details!
The cost of the group is $150 and this includes 8 hours of live tutoring over 4 2 hour sessions. The sessions will be 6-8pmEST on 7/4, 7/11, 7/18, 7/25 .
Each week we will cover a general review of each domain. Each session is a mix of presentation, discussion and practice questions. As we can of course not cover everything in each domain in 2 hours, you will also have assignments to complete each week. These are a mix of homeworks, study guides and self guided lessons. Throughout the course I do also offer support via email and group students also have the option to add on additional one-on-one sessions and recorded/live courses.
Student Review: "Group Tutoring Sessions with Dana is GREAT! The homework assignments she gives are very thorough and cover a variety of important topics you might see on the exam. She is very timely with responses and has great availability, she is only just an email away! Her feedback on the homework assignments are great, as well as her lectures. She really enriched my learning experience for this exam. She truly cares for her students and wants us to succeed, I 10/10 recommend her group tutoring sessions!" -RR (April Group) I only take 8 students per group and spots tend to fill quickly (5 spots left for July) so do not hesitate to register if you think this program would be a good fit for you! Add on the recorded sessions of the Sunday class materials for $100. This group also runs monthly so if you would like to be put on the wait list for another month please let me know! Currently 7 spots available for August and September.
