Advice- Best way to study + pass the RE Exam in CA?
Curious to know the most efficient way to study/pass the RE exam in CA. 

Currently enrolled in The CE Shop and taking my time with the course materials. Others have suggested to just click through the courses and then use exam prep questions to study. But what is the best use of time? How often do people fail this? Thank!

They came back through and answered all the ones I was iffy about (another quarter), finally pass through I answered anything I had no idea about (final quarter).\n\nI crammed for 4 days straight and passed the test first time. Best of luck!
