    I have seen that some people on here are completing up to 5,000 MCQ’s per section. I have only been able to get through 1,000 tops (in addition to my Wiley course that has ~1,500 or so MCQ’s), but my passing scores have left a lot to be desired (76, 79). Wondering if I should try to focus more on quantity so I can cover more material or if it’s better to take it slow and really try to grasp each question? What has worked for y’all? I would really like to nail REG and walk out of there feeling like I scored at least in the 80’s.

    FYI, I work full time and am a parent. I have decided to give myself about 7-9 weeks in preparation for each exam.

    It comes down to how you spend your time, and your learning methods.
    I would do sets of 10 MCQs in study mode, so I could get back to the answers asap, of sets of 20 MCQs in study mode so I could see the answers immediately.
    If you do sets of 30 or more, it takes too long to finish the set of questions to then get back and review, where you need to reread each question to see why you got it right or wrong.
    You need to make sure you are using each question as 4 points of learning. Why is the right answer right, and why are the wrong answers wrong.

    They make the wrong answers so close and attractive, often times trying to fool you with the distractor information.
    I only did over 2k questions for FAR, the rest were less than 2000.

    Thanks. I may need to drop the sets down to 10-20 MCQ's. I have originally been doing 30 question sets, and like you said, that takes too long.
