Knocking out questions in a PM&R Question Bank is a great way to study. Performing questions in an online question bank best simulates the Board Exam — as this will also be taken on a computer, for a full day… So these question banks that are done online not only offer convenience, but also help you to train your “computer endurance.” To further help, pmrqbankreview.com include a 400-Question Mock Exam.
But beware! QBanks can easily offer a false sense of security. It’s easy to feel great about answering a lot a questions, but the trap is that you may not actually learn the material. Here is how you can make sure that this doesn’t happen to you:
How to Study with PM&R Question Banks
- Treat the question like a real exam question. It’s easy to think “well, this doesn’t really count” and you only pay half-attention to the question. Doing this only trains your brain to treat the real Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Board Exam question in this way. Avoid doing this at all costs! If you are too tired, or distracted, come back when you can put your full attention into answering the questions. If you have to stop, pmrqbankreview.com has an automatic save feature that will bookmark your place in the QBank.
- Always click the linked resource. Every single question on this site has a linked resource to support the correct answer. Even if you get it right, just click the link and take a quick glance at the site referenced. You may pick up an additional fact that can help you answer another question down the line.
- Read a review book/chapter on the question bank topic before taking it. No matter what, there needs to be some comprehensive reading or listening to material involved in your studying. As a resource, I recommend Voice Dream, which is an app that reads text.
- Take the Master Quizzes. I recommend taking the Master quizzes after you finish the QBank in each section. Yes, the questions will repeat, but answering them again will reinforce what you know and it will help you to make sure that you get the questions right that you missed previously.
- Master the Mock. Take the Mock Exam at least once, towards the end of your subscription, to make sure all topics are well-known. Since questions are added on a regular basis, consider taking the Mock Exam once or twice a month to build up your “computer test taking endurance!”
- Don’t stress. If you are reading this, chances are that you are doing the right things. Be sure to understand the concepts of physical medicine and rehabilitation topics, read beyond answering questions and you will perform well.
A genuine good luck to you :)
