How many practice questions should be answered before sitting for the exam. I know people who have done 2500 and passed 4000 who failed..

I really think its not the number of questions, but the attainment of knowledge and comfort with answering them. In other words, if after 3000 you are still getting most wrong, then you need more study. Due to what I've read on this website, I recommend Saunders. I also recommend not trying to cram in a zillion questions all at once. Pace yourself with maybe 100-150 a day, taking a day off every week from looking at it. Also, test yourself at the time of day you are most alert- unless you have no choice about when you can practice- or it can be frustrating and you won't absorb as much of the rationale. Good luck!

thats true.. i try to study during the time that im mostly wide awake. its also kind of difficult for me b/c i have a 3 month old daughter. luckily for me, shes not a fussy baby and she sleeps all day.
