How do you go about a retake ? Do you still go through every chapter in order or do you review your weak areas first then the rest and practice ?

Weak areas, then review what you’re more comfortable with, the comprehensive review. And depending on your score you should be doing mostly MCQs. Reading and/or lectures really when you can’t grasp a concept.

Depends on how bad you failed. A 30, solid probably start over. A 65, focus on weak areas. They give you a score report for a reason.
