As a medical student studying for your PLAB Part 1 examination, you’ll know just how precious your study time is, especially if you’re holding down a part-time job as well. As such, you’ll want to ensure that you get the most out of your question bank study time. Below are some ways in which you can take full advantage of the time you have to spend working on the CanadaQbank platform.
Start by Using the Tutor Mode
Many other question banks aren’t customizable in any way. However, CanadaQBank offers students the option of using either timed or tutor modes while working on the platform.
The timed mode has been designed to represent an examination environment because it provides a predetermined amount of time in which to answer a specific set of questions. While this is a good choice for determining how much you already know, it is a more stressful way to study.
Tutor mode gives you more time to answer questions, which will allow you to give them more thought before making your final decision. You’ll be able to see right away whether you’ve answered correctly or not, and an explanation will be provided if you’ve chosen an incorrect answer. This mode also allows you to take down your own customizable notes while working.
Choose a Level of Difficulty
When using CanadaQBank, you have the ability to choose a level of difficulty that best suits your current needs during study sessions. For instance, if you’re a new student and you haven’t attended many lectures yet, you’ll want to select the ‘easy’ option initially.
As you expand your knowledge and become more confident with answering the questions in the ‘easy’ category, you can then select the ‘average’ category and work there until you’re ready to move to the ‘difficult’ question set. A setting is also available that can provide you with a combination of questions to answer from each of these levels.
Save Unanswered Questions to Work on Later
Any questions you didn’t know the answers to while working in tutor mode can be saved in a dedicated section of the CanadaQBank platform called, “My Questions.”
This section of the site can store as many questions as you need it to so that you can revise them again at a later stage. You can even choose to only study and work on the questions in this section until you’ve mastered them – and feel ready to move on to new study material.
When you’re studying for your PLAB Part 1 qualification, CanadaQBank’s extensive range of features will help ensure that you get as much as possible out of each topic, subject and section of content that you’ll be required to work with.
