Agreed Becker all the way. Do as many multiple choice questions as possible do everything with 100% effort as hard as it is. Understand Not only why the answer is right but also why the other answer choices are wrong. Good luck!

Becker. MC and simulations practice only. Haven’t listened to a single lecture. Practice, practice, practice. You got it.

For context, it’s a professional services firm, I’ve been there 3+years, and they gave a Sales Executive title to someone who just started 5mo ago.
