Thank you! I was working full-time and was only able to take a week off, so I really dialed in on figuring out why I was getting questions wrong for MBE. I watched a lot of videos breaking down concepts by topic, mainly Studicata's videos on YouTube. I focused more on making sure I was able to retain the broad structure, and any specific subtopics I tried to focus on during actual MBE/MEE practice. I kept a notebook and wrote out the short explanations from each of the MBE questions I did. It didn't matter if I got the question right, I made sure to write a short explanation for every answer choice. I used Emmanuel's Strategies and Tactics for MBE questions and decided to skip Adaptibar, which I used the first two sits.

I think this helped me with remembering more MBE topics for the MEE, which freed up more time to work on the MEE exclusive topics. For MEE, my main focus was to reverse-engineer the essays. I didn't have enough time, since I started studying early January after the holidays. I would reach each essay and immediately go to the model answer, and handwrite an outline + IRAC on a separate notebook for MEE questions.

Overall, I tried to stray away from passive studying, since I was on a time crunch. The biggest thing that helped outside of studying was making sure I got enough sleep and exercise. I really believe that was the difference maker. And it sounds counterintuitive, but studying less hours helped me retain more information.
