To understand or to pass? That’s the question. understand, question, dilemma

I am facing a dilemma. I realized that to understand the curriculum, I might not pass the exam simply because there is insufficient time. Yet, in order to pass the exam I have to take short cuts like doing endless practice questions but this is also risky as the bulk of the practice questions are sourced from Schweser which have so far disappointed me in terms of their notes and lectures.
How?

Passing Level III without understanding it would be quite the feat.

I think once you pass, you will find that you understand most of the material, even if that understanding comes from practice questions or other “short cuts”.

agree w/ Cardshark, too.
You have plenty of time to study and prepare!

You won’t pass L3 unless you understand the material better than 60% of the people.
There’s your answer.
There’s over three months left. Do what you need to do to free up sufficient time. If you want it enough, you’ll find ways to find more time.
