As an adult with 20+ years experience in the field, do you have any recommendations to help with the process? Is it worth the investment to purchase some or a few of the NCARB books suggested for study guides along with Black Spectacles? ---

Case studies has some code and contract pages etc. in them which would help for other questions too. Starting from case studies first may help for other questions too. Only if you do not take any break, you can go back to that case study and use those pages later. ---

Hello! Is there a way for me to sort topics that I need to focus on from the practice exams? (For example, once I have taken the practice exams in B/S and see areas that I need to study more. Can I just sort this in those practice exams so that I can create a more pinpointed study guide?) Thanks! ---
