Practice Exams or 5 lb book first?

by fbmagnumopus Tue Oct 08, 2013 11:49 am

I was wondering if theres any overlap between the 5 lb book versus the 6 online practice exams. I am done with the strategy guides and was wondering if I should do the 5 lb book first or the online exams? i dont want to see questions I previously saw in the 5lb book on the online exam as that would lead to a diagnostic grade inflation, if you see my dilemma.

Please advise.

Hey FB,

There's no overlap, so fear not!

Also, though it's possible I misunderstood, I want to be clear that you shouldn't take the six tests right in a row or anything like that. You should pepper them throughout your study period. The 5lb. book is practice so you can do your very best on the tests.

Good luck!

Thanks Tommy!

I wont take them too close together. Learnt my lesson when I did that!

I did the powerprep diagnostics on a weekly basis. Because my exam's coming up in about six weeks. So I am planning to do 1 Manhattanprep test per week or a maximum of 2 to leave room for pure revision in the end.
