Depends who you ask. I try to do at least 25-50 per day. I've heard people talk of doing 50-100 a day, but I'm trying to review content as well.

thanks! maybe i will try 50 questions per day for the mean time! but i will gradually increase the test numbers as i could... my problem is i easily get tired of answering lots of practice questions per day...

We were told in school to do a minimum of 100 questions per day and those that were boarder line with grades (just at the passing mark) should do more per day.

I try to do a minimum of 50 per day. I think knowing and understanding the rationals is more important than the number of questions you do. If you find yourself getting tired take a break and come back to it. Before you take the exam however you should be able to tolerate taking at least 200 questions in one sitting just in case your exam goes past the 75 number. Good luck!

absolutely right! rationales are much more important than the number of practice questions... thanks!!

i really think it's a case by case basis. you just don't want to do 100 qs just for sake of completing 100. doing 50 with full consideration of the rationales is far superior than merely answering 200 qs.

i thinks it's a great idea to just pace yourself. and gradually increase the amount as you get more in the groove. :-)
