Hello everyone,

I just returned from a 10 day vacation, and completed AUD 1 & 2 prior to leaving, and tried to do AUD 3 while on vacation. Needless to say, it didn’t go well, and didn’t get it all done. I am now behind on my schedule and I take AUD July 13th. I am planning on moving on to AUD 4 this afternoon but don’t feel comfortable with AUD 1 & 2 (It feels like forever since I studied it!

My question is: do you move on to AUD 4 and try to catch up on your original schedule or do you go back and work AUD 1 & 2 until your comfortable?

Any insight is appreciated!

Personally I would not go back but move forward. It doesn't usually stick real well the first time through for me anyway, but if I don't keep moving, I get bogged down and more behind. Once you finish all the chapters, you can go back and review extra for Ch. 1 & 2, if needed. But chapters 3 & 4 are said to be the most important. Keep trying progress tests at the end of each chapter that incorporate questions from all previous chapters so that you at least are getting some repetition along the way.

Yes move on. Focus most of your time on A3 and A4, with A2 in a distant third.

I agree. Move on and when you come back to it, it is usually a little clearer. I seem to pick up more and more each time I go over something. It doesn't really do me any good to get bogged down in something. I just waste time. I find that if I move on to something else it helps.
