Get the LAREPrep study guide and practice tests… This is what I did for all 4 exams and I passed all 4 on my first try.

I took 2&3 together. Just read through the LARE Prep study guides and ... probably dedicated 3 weeks of studying to each exam… 3 was the only one I thought I was not going to pass (ended up passing both first try).
