I have forgotten some topic areas so I feel lost when answering questions on them. Should I reread them? or just attempt more questions on them? to regain a nitty gritty detail level grasp on them. Thanks.

If you've read it once, I would not go through it again in detail. My advice would be to do a bunch of questions and cheat and look at the answers where necessary. You'll quickly get a feel for what the key points are in the chapter, and then be able to refer back to the text in a more targeted manner.Top tip for next time around (if there is one): Prepare a one page summary of each chapter as you go. Then that's all you'll ever need to re-read.

@ommthree I am doing something similar to what you are suggesting. And, it is working for me as far as regaining a grasp of the details in the curriculum goes. i.e. improved scores.
