Figured I would pass along a few bits of advice because people on this forum have been so helpful over the past year.

- choose one review program and stick with it.  Some people like to use 15 different review programs to study for one section.  Every review program is built to help you pass.  There is no need to use more than one.  I used Yaeger, but know people whi have passed on all the others. 

- dont spend time on questions during the exam that know you wont be able to figure out.  If you dont know it, guess and move on.  Save time for the longer questions that you do know.

- dont panic if you hit a question that you dont know.  It may be a pretest question (doesnt count toward your grade) or just some wacky question.  Just move past it and forget about it.

- stick to a study schedule.  I studied everyday before work from 615-830 and tried to study during my lunch break.  I knew that I was least distracted during those hours and had the most focus.  I never studied at night and rarely studied during the weekend because I couldnt focus then.

- you dont have to be a rocket scientist to pass.  The exam is about persistence and hard work.
