Peanut,
Wish I could pass on some proven advice. I totally understand the concept of how to totally “restudy”. I haven't been able (as of yet, REG will tell a story soon!) to pass an exam on the first shot.
That being said, I put forth the same study method as I did for BEC and FAR, last window on Audit but it didn't work. As far as I can tell, is that wording of the question is always an important part of the strategy, but from my experience it is paramount in passing this exam. I do better in quizzes and shorter progress tests because I am cognizant of reading the question slowly and paying attention, I start to lose that when I go through a larger number of questions. That will be my challenge on this exam. Luckily, I didn't feel like time was a factor at all, so I should be able to slow it down to get the right answer. Other than that, I would say repetition is key. To this end I would mix it up. For me, Audit was not the most exciting thing, so I tried to use different mediums for review. I used Becker notecards, my own notes, notes on mcq's, Ninja notes, and the notes in the Becker book. Even sometimes googling subjects I would find info that made more sense than what I had in front of me. I decided not to use a cram on this because Yaeger uses Gary Bomash (he sounds like the guy from Ferris Bueller–the math teacher… Bueller, Bueller, Ferris.) which would bore me to tears, and I didn't love the Becker ones so I saved a few bucks. If I did buy one I would have bought Roger. I heard he does a great job of keeping you engaged.
In terms of order, I read each chapter, took notes, moved to next chapter. Then did all mcq's in each chapter then moved to next. In between I kept rereading my notes and reading notecards.
Ok, that is it for me Peanut. Enjoy Audit. (ha) I have to start my last day of studying (8/30) and go into work for a bit. Best of luck on this one!
Have a great day.
