Review old exams, study material out loud to yourself over several days to move it into long term memory and use flash cards to revisit weak spots.

Hello Taylor,
Focus on discipline by tackling each section one at a time. Plan your schedule and work backwards to set aside study time each week. Stick to this plan, even if it means cutting back on watching TV or going out. It will be worth it when you finish. Start with the hardest section first and aim to complete your study in no more than four weeks. By dedicating a few hours each week, you'll find it less overwhelming and be less tempted to procrastinate.
Take plenty of practice tests to identify areas where you need more study time.
Join a study group for accountability, whether with friends or colleagues, even if they are studying different sections.
Celebrate your success after passing each section. Treat yourself to something small like your favorite coffee or something bigger like a new piece of work clothing. Recognize each milestone in some way.
Make a study plan based on when you plan to take each test.
