Taking FAR in 3 days (for like the fifth time 😭). Feel so unprepared - getting around 50-60% on Becker practice test. Any tips or areas I should focus on? Any areas I can completely ignore (that are historically not on the exam)?

I'm at a career juncture and have decided on a career in anti-money laundering as my new path. I'm also highly interested in additional education to further my career and am eyeing graduate school.
