Where were you focusing your attention?
Flash cards, flow charts, and practice exams. Not one specific topic, rather covering all topics to be an expert in all categories not just a few.
Were you finishing a review course?
Yes - Brett Danko's Signature Review.
Hitting hard on difficult topics?
Absolutely, I found that my first test I understood the topics that took up less % of the test. The second time around I studied all, equally.
Working through question banks?
Absolutely, and taking the CFP practice exam. My review course had tons of case test bank questions. I really found those to be helpful as it was more application based learning versus multiple choice.
Other?
I really honed in on my process of elimination. If I could quickly eliminate two answers I knew for sure were incorrect, then I would have a better chance at choosing the right answer. Timing myself for each practice test was very helpful to see just where I stood.
