I need some advice here...

My original plan was to finish UW early and use my last two weeks to really really hammer FA by both reading it and supplimenting it with the FA Q&A book. However, I deviated from my schedule and am left with about 50% of UW's questions left to complete and I only have two weeks left.

Should I forget about reinforcing FA with the Q&A book and do UW?

I'm not shooting for a high score at all. I need to get the fundamental concepts down to assure a pass. I do not score well on UW.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
 
I do not know anything about the Q&A book, but I can tell you UW
is probably the best resource I've used, lots of classic presentations
that are apparently frequently tested.
 
I guess it depends on how much repetition you want/need. I'm going to spend about 10 days in the end doing just FA + questions. During that time I plan to do at least one section of FA per day + the corresponding questions in FA Q&A book + at least one random, unused block of UW questions (I'll have just about enough questions to finish the study period like that). Even though I may only get through FA once in that period I will likely refer to it numerous times as I do questions. So if you plan on getting through FA like 3-4 times in the last two weeks then you may not be able to finish your UW questions, but at the same time you can always just do UW questions and refer to FA as needed as a way to "get through FA" in a random way. I think the UW questions are also a great learning tool in and of themselves
 
You're in the same situation as me. Just speed it up! I don't see why you can't get through FA once more and half of UW in 2 weeks. I'm doing 4 hrs of FA a day and 6 hrs of UW a day. I try to get through 48 questions + explanations in 2 hrs. I was going really, really slow the first three weeks I was studying so it was a bit of a change for me, but it feels good now. I would try and trust myself that even though you aren't staring at something and memorizing, you're remembering more than you realize. I think it's normal to feel like you're doing bad on UW (especially reading this board) but even though I'm scoring the same as I was before studying I know I'm learning.
