Good approach. If you can potentially give a knowledgeable 1 minute speech on every concept, you will surely pass.
I look at practice questions as a gage of progress and as brain conditioning. There are a finite number of topics and a finite number of ways to ask about them, so taking many practice questions from several different sources helps me gain confidence and identify weaknesses.
Also, the test is a mental and physical challenge, so forcing myself to take 150 questions at 10pm after a long day of work and sitting in traffic is a good way to simulate the fatigue and stress that the exam may bring.
There is more than one way to skin a cat however, I just prefer to take a lot of practice questions... but nothing can substitute for sticking your nose in a book.
