These Quick Quizzes are not to test your knowledge. They are to test the facts you know. Hence the term Quick. These Quizzes should be doable in under 2 minutes. They are not Board like questions rather they are testing if you are retaining the facts you are studying in your review books i.e. first aid.

In an ideal world you would study a section of material and then take a quick quiz to ensure that you have understood and retained all the information you have read.

You have to understand that the problem with the way we study for Boards is that we read everyday for hours and hours. After a while all the information blends together. Quick Quizzes are meant to be a "Quick and Dirty" way to review the info you have studied each day. Use them to your advantage to analyze if you need to review particular topics.
Good Luck, Your Board Aid Team
