In the beginning, I put in tons of time studying the way I “thought I should be”…this means watching the lectures too much, not writing notes, and doing MCS.
I found this site and researched more efficient ways to study…this means watching the lectures only once (I didn't watch them at all if I failed the section and reveiwed again), taking notes, MCQ, and rewriting notes. Basically used the Ninja FREE planner to give my studying more structure.
I would plan what I wanted to get accomplished each week (actually I had to adjust frequently). I would go through the Becker book section reading and writing notes, then after the section was complete I would go trhough the MCQ for that section. I repeated this through the entire Becker section. Then I would rewrite my existing notes, which helped me thoroughly understand the material by interpreting my notes and at times “ah-ha moments.” After rewriting, I took the MCQ for that section. When all said and done, I would randomly go over various sections (in no particular order) of MCQ for the final review. I did not put much stock in SIMS, but I did complete them when I needed to “break the norm.” I would also go over flashcards when I needed to “break the norm.”
Changing up my routine helped my score jump…Good luck!
