My 2 cents - if you want it, really want it - you have to give up everything (unless you are brilliant). No friends, no happy hours, no time for anything...get it done sooner before work gets harder and all the prior suggests are harder to do!! Short term pain and it’s done FOREVER!!! Head down, take a review class if you can (for schedule and test-taking tricks) give it all up and never worry about it again...ever!

Go get ‘em and good luck
