I failed FAR in the first quarter with a 69. How should i approach restudying FAR?

Should i focus first on my weaknesses or start from Chapter 1 and build up my knowledge?

I hope to take the retake in the 3rd Quarter. any and all tips are appreciated

@Zumo- I agree with taxgeek. Some people do topic by topic and some do random mix. I do a little of both for two reasons.

1. to make sure I nail topics I am weak in (topic by topic)

2. to make sure I am getting a good mix of questions also so I don't forget all the topics and getting a few questions for every topic (random mix of topics). To try to mirror exam day because it will be a mix of topics.

Either way of doing the MCQ, if you do enough of them, honestly you will start to see a pattern. Personally, I don't think topic by topic for the full re-take study period would be effective for me.
