Consistently scoring between 55-70% on the Ethics portion and I think I could significantly boost my total score if I can bring this up to a consistent 80%.
Should I just keep answering Ethics questions and memorizing all the specific scenarios? Would re-reading the ethics section on the CFA book still help at this point?
Re-reading the CFAI books would help. My plan is to re-read the book this week.,take the CFAI mock C on Saturday and see if I improved. Next week I will read the Schweser ethics book for review.
Cheat.
Mark Meldrum videos on 1.5x speed every night while walking my dogs helped me a lot!
I say just hit the question bank. I did literally every single Schweser qBank ethics question and scored 100% on one of my mocks, and I ended up over 90% in the real thing, which allowed me some breathing room on my weaker topics. Ethics is a topic where there is a certain amount where you just have to remember stuff, but a lot of it is applying rules to situations, which means the only way is through practice and recognizing patterns. It’s not a case of just reading the material over and over again. Eventually you’ll just get a feel for it based off repetition.
Oh, the irony!

A great strategy that can work for some people:
Pick the choice you think is the answer.
Cross that choice off the list
Now randomly pick between the two remaining choices
Sometimes having a little knowledge in a topic area is your worst enemy.
