Got my results today — passed! Wanted to write up what actually made the difference since most study advice I found online was either vague or trying to sell something.
What worked for me:
The most useful thing was drilling "sped test" until I genuinely understood why each answer was right, not just which one was right. I stopped doing marathon study sessions and switched to 45-minute focused blocks.
The practice tests here matched the real exam difficulty closely. I found questions on "internet sped test" especially well-calibrated — the format and wording were similar to what I saw.
What didn't work: reading the official textbook straight through. Too dense. I'd read a chapter, take a practice test on just that chapter, review every wrong answer, then move on.
Final score: 79%. Time I had left over: about 16 minutes.
Happy to answer questions. You've got this.
Quick data point: I spent 7 weeks studying, 1-2 hours a day, and passed with a 82%.
The section on internet sped test took me the longest to feel confident about. Eventually I just drilled practice questions until I could answer them without hesitation.
What testing center did you end up booking? Some of them have much shorter wait times than others right now.
