bmmguru, my study strategy is similar to what jdunks mentioned about finding weaknesses.
Here's what I did about two weeks before the exam:
Take all the practice quizzes.
As I take them, mark any answer I'm are unsure of. Just like "marking" on the ARE.
Check all answers.
For any question I got wrong or marked, write the topic(s) of the question next to it.
A few topic patterns may emerge or a handful of peculiar items will be highlighted.
Focus on those topics.
For example, I took the SS quizzes and I found I missed a lot of the concrete material questions, like mix ratio, design failures, additives, efficient design, etc. So I read anything I could find about the basics of concrete design.
Don't forget to read the Ballast BDCS sections for steel, concrete, masonry, and wood.
Good luck!
