Checking answers after each question or after multiple [#permalink] New post   26 Oct 2020, 17:38
Hey - just wanted to know if there's a difference between checking after completing each question the answer vs checking after you've completed a whole bunch of questions.

Which method is more effective?

Daresay as long as one reviews a question thoroughly it doesn't really matter.

We normally suggest our students to do around 10-15 questions at a time and then check the answers and explanations for those questions.

If you do one question at a time and then simultaneously check the explanation for that question, it slightly disrupts the problem solving flow, as per our experience.

Hey Lazybum,

While learning a methodology, deal with one question at a time. Solve the question and go through the solution irrespective of the result. Having said that, I'm assuming the question types to be different. If all the questions require the same methodology and approach, then it doesn't make any difference. We have something called concept booster and practice quiz in our course. You will be allowed to look at the solution after every question in the concept booster whereas in the practice quiz, the solutions are visible only after solving all the questions.
The main focus here is to get used to the methodology. All the best :)

Hi Lazybum,

You ask a good question - and the answer will depend on what your immediate 'goal' is. If you're learning and practicing a new Tactic, then you should check the answer after working on each question - so that you make sure that you are correctly using the Tactic that you've learned. If instead, you're looking to build up endurance or hone your pacing skills, then you should be working through entire groups of questions before you check the answers (as that will better mirror what you will face on Test Day, in which you have to properly pace yourself through each section).

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hi Lazybum,

Can you provide some more context on when you would want to use either method?
