Going through all the study materials does not get you a high score. You can do well only if you understand and mimic the correct thought process along with a strong conceptual foundation. And that applies even if you study only the official guide. Exactly my point of view. Going through all the study materials does not get you a high score.

Having obtained a 710 score first time with just a week's preparation, I say the best strategy is to do at least 2 practice exams to familiarise yourself with the test and look at some model answers for the essay part to see what kind of essay structure would work best, and then just sit the exam! The best preparation is a good night's sleep before the exam, a healthy breakfast and comfortable clothing.
