ALL THINGS BOARDS
When is your next TrueLearn/COMBANK deadline, and how many questions are due?

  *   300 questions within the COMLEX Level 1 Qbank (any questions your choose) by January 6, 2026
     *   Try searching for questions on the course content that you are learning right now in tutor mode.
     *   Create random assessments over older content in timed mode to build in spaced-repetition and train yourself on pacing and not immediately seeing the answer or rationale.
     *   When you are learning, using tutor mode can be very helpful.  As you progress and feel more confident in the material or want to work on pacing and testing your knowledge, switch to timed mode.
     *   Questions?  Contact Dr. Hinkelman @ hinkelman at campbell.edu<mailto:hinkelman at campbell.edu>
