Try following the timetable that comes with the gleim package or create your own and devote 12-15 hrs each week without fail. If you follow their program and the adaptive question bank, you should be able to ace the exams.

Iv considered taking CMA after I finish up CPA, I feel like it has valuable skills, why are you taking if you are at EY? Just curious

Good luck to you all! I passed the exams last year so let me know if I can help with anything.
