FB LC Prep: Focus on Known Weakness or Do all FB Tagged Qs

Been grinding LC and EPI for nearly 7 months now. Completed EPI 4 month course and I'm sitting at 270 LC. I review solved problems daily using Anki flashcards. I've heard that FB interviews tend to be straight out of LC and they want you to solve them FAST. Of FB tagged questions in last 6 months, I've done 145/248. Am I better off doing targeted practice on topics I know I'm shaky at or should I instead complete the remaining 103 FB tagged questions? I'm hoping to do phone screens in September and on-sites in late October. Thanks for help!

Damn son! If not Facebook, you will surely get into some other Big Name company for sure. May I know what this EPI course you are talking about is? I thought EPI is just a book.

Thanks man. Just want to make sure I finish this process with no regrets, knowing I tried my hardest. EPI refers to this book : https://elementsofprogramminginterviews.com/ In the first chapter they put together a "course" of about 120 specific problems and they suggest you complete them over 3-4 months.

Did you go topic by topic, and covered each from EPI and LC? How did you do it?
