@IB553 – Yes, I did not almost but every MCQ from Gleim and some from Wiley. There is a lot of repetition in questions between Wiley and Gleim. I guess they get their questions from same vendor.
My strategy – Read the chapter & “TAKE NOTES”. Do 30 questions from Gleim. Evaluate your score and repeat until you hit atleast 85% on Gleim. If you are confused about any question please make sure to submit an inquiry about that to Gleim. They are good in replying back with detailed explanation. I am pretty sure that I might have submitted inquiry for more than 200 questions.
Don't waste time to much time on Sims.. You should practice them in last week.
Becker is good but personally I get bored listening to Peter Olinto and the other guy. The videos I have are 2-3 year old. I only refer to it when I am not able to understand a topic in Gleim.
I think another reason I like Gleim is becuase I am anal about detail. I like to understand the topic rather than memorizing. You might not believe but I was done with all my MCQ's within two hours. And yes on Gleim to my average time for each question was around 40 seconds.
Another suggestion, dont over think your questions. I always scored low when I spent extra time on question. With Gleim, one thing you will learn is to read the question properly. Initially I had some serious problems with Gleim on that cause they tend to make questions confusing.
Practice at least 2-3 full exams. This will help you assess your weaknesses.
I work full time. So, only time I had was in evening. My schedule was to study 2-3 hrs on weekdays and 5-7 on weekends. I followed this routine for 3 months. But the first month I was a little lazy so, I would count that out.
Lastly, My secret Mantra: Dont memorize just understand the topic. It is just an exam..
