    Im taking my first exam, FAR, on 2/22 and have been using the Ninja Materials. Im not confident though. Im trending and averaging about 60% in all categories.

    I feel like my foundation is kind of weak. Should I keep doing mcq’s or go back and read my material/watch videos?

    Im taking off from work the week before the exam to get prepared. Should I go back to my material to strengthen my weak areas or just keep plowing through mcq’s?

    I would focus on mcq and review watch the video day before the exam. Just make sure to know exactly why you picked the answer, instead if just memorizing it

    Do you recommend changing the questions to “missed last time”?

    I think re-watching videos only makes sense if you feel lost on a concept and feel like you are just guessing on that topic's MCQ's. That doesn't go away by drilling more MCQ's if you don' t understand the underlying concepts. And yes, in your final week or few days before the exam, I'd change the option to show only questions that you have missed. That way, you are spending your most valuable study time on areas you are still weak on.
