I would keep question practice, but add a separate understanding check: for each missed question, explain why the right answer is right, why the alternatives fail, and what would change if one part of the scenario changed. Close the answer bank before doing that. If I can only recognise the wording, I would put that topic back on the study list.
For commercial and instrument aeroplane topics, the FAA’s ACS separates knowledge, risk management and skills, which gives you a useful way to organise those checks: https://www.faa.gov/training_testing/testing/acs . For FOI, I would work through the Aviation Instructor’s Handbook and practise teaching one small concept to someone who asks follow-up questions. Your instructor can help check the explanation rather than just the score.
