Not all mock questions are created equal. Candidates should approach their resources with a critical eye:
Avoid these self-sabotaging behaviors:
Week 1: Topic reviews + 2 topic-focused item sets/day (accounting, equity).
Week 2: Mixed item sets + 1 full mock at end of week; review errors deeply.
Week 3: Two full mocks mid-week and end; target weaker topics with focused practice.
Week 4: 2–3 full mocks under strict timing, final quick-topic refresh, sleep and logistics check.
