Should i be focusing on all MCQ questions or go back and tackle my problem areas? Also can anyone share a good source for JE’s that i should be familiar with?

I would keep doing MCQ's and reviewing what you get wrong to understand why you got it wrong. I found this website helpful for journal entries https://www.principlesofaccounting.com/illustrative%20entries/entrieslist.htm
Good luck:)

These give you a good foundation. I need to start going through them more since I'm not very strong with J/E's and my exam is on 2/29.

Since you have 10 days, you can probably spend 2-3 days really zoning in on your weak areas. There is just some stuff you are not going to retain and/or understand, just hope it doesn't come up on the exam. Use the last 7 days to do cumulative study.
I don't really know where to point you in terms of areas to focus on, it seems like they tested a wide breadth of material. Of course, GOV/NFP was very prevalent as the AICPA outline suggests (24-33% I think when put together).

And right now i am just doing sets of 10 or 30 but i don't want to get repeat questions and i am starting to see that when i select all questions.

I'm taking FAR in 10 days too!

I am reviewing my notes, going over all MCQs that I marked, doing sims and any other key points I need to memorize such as formulas, journal entries and governmental/NFP details.

I sat for FAR 2 weeks ago and I had one research sim and the remaining 6 sims were journal entries on a variety of topics. MCQ's were spread out over a variety of topics, too. After you are comfortable with MCQ's at least look over a variety of journal entries.

how is everyone studying for the JEs, Memorization? I feel like if you know where the account belongs (B/S or I/S) then you can probably figure out what to debit and credit?

Ya i am a little worried about the SIMS since i know they can make or break you on the exam.
