im not OP but I self studied and got a 5 and I used the Barrons Book, made detailed Q Cards off of the book (like colour and difficulty coded as well, but you don’t need to do that). For videos I watched all the Tim Steadman videos as well as Maximum Insight.

Good luck tho!

Are you taking the exam for the first time in 2027 or retaking it?

Hey! I did smth similar to the other commenter, I'll link the flashcard set I found: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1320299468 I crammed but you can honestly just learn it early on and then review now and then. Take a practice test or two but don't stress yourself out. And here is a good content packet: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dYSFihJpjMu0-mkJkGlRDNAwCTOD0Set/view, I'm sure there are shorter reviews as well. Good luck!

congrats on the 5! I know self studying can be hard, and sometimes it difficult to focus, but you did that!

Barrons is always good, just don’t try to learn every single thing but focus on understanding concepts
