Practice Exams: Partial vs Full-Length

Hi All -

First time poster, long time reader!

I just finished reading the Level 1 Schweser notes (besides Ethics which I'll finish up by the weekend). Along the way I completed all of the concept checkers and EOC questions in the CFAI books (I felt this helped me leave no stone unturned). I'm trying to plan out my "Review Month" and come up with a strategy for the next 6 weeks. That said, two questions for you experts:

1. Is it beneficial to take partial mock exams (i.e. either the AM or PM portion), or dive right in and take full-length, 6-hour mock exams?

My thought was to take half-length mock exams, maybe two per week, for the next three weeks. Then step it up to full length exams over the final three weeks. This would allow me more time to review "rusty" topics earlier in my review phase, and get more "test practice" later on.

2. Is it better to review "rusty" topics BEFORE taking practice exams?

It feels like years ago when I last opened up Econ or FRA. Should I go back an brush up on these topics before jumping into mock exams? Or should I bite the bullet and start mocking knowing that I'll be weaker than I'd like in those areas?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Good luck, and keep on truckin'!
