How did you go about studying for it? I usually read the chapter, do the questions (2-3 times) and then watch video w/ flash cards in my free time.

I stopped watching videos. I will only watch if it is a section I am unclear about. I use Becker and IMO many explanations to the questions are total BS. So I copy and paste the questions I don't understand into Google and they have people that answer the questions in a much clearer and detailed fashion on forums than they do on Becker.

I recommend taking your own notes and writing down all of the answers and explanations to every MC question you miss. Then go back and highlight your notes on things you are unclear about. Identify your weaknesses.

This is the process I began using after multiple failures, and I have seen an increase in my scores.

I get through the lectures as quickly as possible, and then afterwards I'm hitting the MC hard. I'll do the cumulative tests over and over and just work on what I forget/miss. My goal is by test time to be doing the 72 or 90 questions with a 90-95% correct rate.

Becker video lecture, reread lecture in book, MC, sims, & proceed to next lecture. I then reread lectures in the 2 days before test.
