    Seriously. I know the Audit section is not as hard as some of the others, but it is so painfully boring. After studying for 2 hours, my mind will be mush. Any tips on how to prevent this brain numbing?

    Yeah, it's hell on earth. Also, don't underestimate it. So far it's been my hardest topic. Probably because I hate the hypothetical b.s. material so badly.

    I would say taxes is, seriously the laws are so arbitrary and pointless. Really the whole section is just make believe stuff thought up by politicians. Auditing at least has some importance.

    I enjoyed it the most actually lol and did the best (cuz I'm 100% certain I won't score as high on reg)

    maybe taking frequent but short breaks can help. I know REG has frustrated and bored the hell out of me and I didn't have a remedy but to just grind through it and take breaks when my studying felt unproductive. Gotta make sure your studying is high quality. Good luck!

    this may be kind of weird, but I when I get real tired of studying I take a shower. It helps me to refresh. I usually end up taking like 3 showers on really hard full study days lol.
