Right now, I score around 63% on Wiley practice sessions. My topic percentages range from 50%-88% with several in green. One topic percentage, Individual Taxation, is horrendous at 12%. At this point, with the exam being on Saturday, January 4, 2014, should I keep doing MCQs on this topic or just sack it and just guess if I come across this on the actual exam?

Appreciate the advice guys.

Unfortunately, job I'm doing right now requires a lot of spontaneous overtime (which I don't know when it is going to be most of the time), currently this is probably the best chance I'll get, so I unfortunately have to keep my REG date of 1-4-14. However, I am willing to take feedback regarding my strategy. The description below is my strategy for REG this time around (in chronological order):

3 weeks of CPAexcel lectures

1 weeks of Ninja notes

2 weeks of 72 MCQ and flashcards per day

1 week of Ninja notes

1 week of 72 MCQ and flashcards per day

1 week of 72 MCQ and flashcards and review lectures and MCQ of specific topics I am weak on per day

Also, for the last 5 weekends before the exam, I would read the Ninja notes and listen to the Ninja audio in addition to the other stuff

I agree with @thehip41. You need to focus on the quality of your study and not the quantity. When I was studying I did not keep track of how many questions or time spent a day. Whatever free time you have…you just study. I would set goals for each day (ie complete chpt 1 videos and do hw). Setting a number of questions to do a day may not equate to passing unless you understand the core concepts. Buckle down and focus on working on the areas that you are weak.

Right, hours don't mean anything if you don't learn how to do anything.

Focus on learning the materials.
