Are you studying full time? If you are, you should be putting in at least 12 hours a day. Four hours a day is a memory trap and basically like not studying at all.
Whatever people advise, you can't go wrong with Kaplan videos, Kaplan books, FA and Qbank. Only thing I would like to add is TommyK's high yield and UW bank.
