I THINK you can just practice answering more questions, and make sure to read every rationales, whether you got it right or wrong. If you think you need to brush up with 1 topic, you can brush up that one with your Hurst Review (I'm not using this but based on what I read, it's very good for content review). I highly recommend LaCharity and Kaplan Questions. Good luck! :cool:

I'm so sorry to hear that. LaCharity is a good book to practice the prioritization, delegation question, i love that book and answered both edition 2weeks before my date. However, I answered 500 question a day from Kaplan and Saunders. I agree with purplechicxiii, read the rationales even though you got your answers right.

If your taking the exam again you can send me a pm and I'll be glad to answer any questions you have and help you pass the next exam.
