What should my areas of focus be? AKA: what will earn the most points?

I have not taken this exam before but I surely do not want to end up retaking it. Just took the practice exam and got a 72% w/ 65 on MCQ and 79 on SIMs. Not as good as I had hoped but any last minute advice would be great!

You better know bonds inside out for MCQ and SIMs potentially. I'd also make sure you have a good understanding on treasury stock, APIC etc. Percentage completion stuff including detailed JE's for it.

Anything requiring detailed calculations I would assume are worth more points on the exam so try studying those the most. Unless that is all easy for you, focus on your weak chapters.
