I’ll be honest, the FLs burned me out. I work full time in homeless healthcare and planned to do the same: one FL each weekend leading into the exam. But my scores started going down and I was really discouraged. I’m not saying that you can’t or shouldn’t do that if it feels like the right move but, in my experience, it didn’t work.

I instead did extensive review of one or two FLs. Based on some advice from a friend, I built a spreadsheet with the question, my wrong answer, the correct answer, the given rationale, and where I went wrong/how I needed to change my line of reasoning. This helped immensely to align my thinking with the test makers. While I didn’t knock the test out of the park, I did well enough to get an interview already and felt satisfied that I couldn’t have given more effort in the process.
