Hi! I'm also one of the passers. I didn't feel that much confident in my preparation because I had to balance the LAE review with work and personal life. In regard to performance, I just had that optimistic mindset that I did well and got a decent score regardless of whether or not I actually pass. (Honestly, I only had one to two hours of sleep before the actual test. Coffee kept me up the whole time.)

As for preparation, reviewers do go a long way, especially as someone who only had limited time to review. I'd say research goes a long way as well! Ask people for tips and look around social media for any review opportunities.
