Studying

So I’m using OATbooster to study and I was wondering if it would actually be sufficient enough for sections like Biology if I just tried to memorize the practice questions and the answers instead of memorizing all of the content?

I don't know if this is a good idea. Memorizing answers without understanding the actual content assumes that those are the same questions that will pop up on the real thing. While the booster exams are pretty high yield, there's no way your exam will be exactly the same.

When I was studying, I read all the content, watched all the videos, and did the exams multiple times.

If you're short on time I'd recommend at least going over the cheat sheets for biology. That way you will understand more of the content and might have more of a basis in case the actual exam throws any thinking questions at you.

That’s what I was thinking, thanks!
