A strategy that works for your friend may not work for you. It is a very frustrating experience to feel that you are not answering higher than 60% and that your fate is already sealed.
It is important to do your research and see which materials would work best for you! No matter what you decide, it is IMPORTANT that you find materials that will focus on answering priority questions and alternate format.
You can purchase books or relax in bed and answer questions from your device. Forget procrastinating with Candy Crush and get an app to use on your phone. It may become just as addicting!
