In ARCHER NCLEX combos or surepass program, they have three steps - doing a video daily; doing questions from all topics everyday and one assessment every 3-5 days. We often get asked by students if they should do questions from random mode or from just that specific topic they watched that day.
Archer strongly recommends doing at-least 75 questions with reading rationales from “all the categories” in tutor mode daily irrespective of which topic video you watched that day. Here are a few reasons why this process is more effective than doing just one topic :-
1. This process helps you to correlate between different subcategories and improves your critical thinking. Helps you apply the concepts you learned from the video across the broader area of client needs.
2. The day you watch the topic video, you are more thorough with it and you are likely to get a higher score if you just did questions in that topic. However; if you are presented just a few “unused” questions from that topic time and again every day; you are going through the process of “spaced repetition” and this significantly boosts retention. The method that we endorse here is very scientific because it boosts memory when you learn concepts via. video one day but repeatedly being tested with a few questions from that topic during your subsequent prep days.
3. For the reasons mentioned above; a large number of students who follow the recommended method ( watch a topic video daily; do 75 qs from all categories daily with reading rationales, and do one assessment every 3-5 days) see significant improvement in their assessments faster and when they take the exam, they have mentioned a very familiar feeling of taking just another archer assessment.
4. To conclude; spaced repetition and learning in different formats ( videos, questions, and assessments) provides you at-least three repetitions of the concept and is the key for quick success. Using up all the questions in one category leaves you no unused questions for spaced repetition. Therefore; do 75 questions from all categories everyday. Follow the 3-step SUREPASS method. The combos have extremely high pass rate because of multi-format learning and spaced repetition.
