"The most productive part of practice exam use is the post-exam review, particularly the analysis of why distractors are wrong, not just why the correct answer is correct. Understanding the incorrectness of distractors builds discrimination ability -- the ability to distinguish between similar concepts -- that directly translates to exam performance." -- Dr. Henry Roediger III, Department of Psychology, Washington University in St. Louis
