I agree the CFAI EOCs and BBs take a lot of time. That’s why I’m keeping them for my second pass.
My strategy is to watch and read a particular reading and then do its MCQs in a couple of days. Waiting for a couple of days is important because when you just study a reading, it stays in your short term memory. So naturally, you’d get most of the questions correct then. But if you do it after a couple of days or even 3 days, then it really tests your understanding and makes you think and recollect harder. This worked for me in L1 because I retained the material for a longer period of time.
Reading and practice goes hand in hand. If you just read, you wouldn’t retain much and if you just practice, you wouldn’t be able to get many of them correct.
