At this point in the cycle, a shorter one first.
You are three months out, and what you need right now is a read on where the gaps are so you can aim your study. A shorter exam gives you that in an hour, and you can act on it for the whole of September and October. A full length one is more useful closer in, when the thing you are testing is pacing and stamina rather than knowledge.
So the order most people get the most out of is a short one now, a full one in late September once you have covered the material, and another full one a few weeks out. If the budget only stretches to one thing today, make it the first of those.
appreciate you not just saying buy the bundle honestly
Agreeing from the student side. I bought everything in one go in my first cycle and got through about a third of it, which was money badly spent and also quite demoralising.
The free ones are also there and I did not realise that for weeks
wait what
There are free practice exams on the site, and they show up under My Exams in your account alongside anything you have bought. No purchase needed and no card required.
They are a sensible place to start before you spend anything at all.
