OK that's a little easier than writing, then I can just go back and read the finer points in the question, I am writing my fingers off. I don't mind writing, but I guess I need to get more correct lol….

Hi!

Studying for BEC using only Ninja. In the Economics section of the Ninja book, it touches on quite a bit however the Ninja notes are condensed significantly and skips a lot of whats in the chapter. What is the course of action here? Should I be making notes and adding to my studying the topics skipped in the Ninja notes? Or is it a Ninja standard to focus on the topics that appear in the notes and have a fair understanding of the other stuff?? Feel like I'm spending a lot of time on the book when the notes seem to be the gold of these products- want to make sure I am using them right. Thank you for your feedback!

@stina I'm kinda in the same boat but going for more of a “cram”. I bought the Ninja book and notes and MCQ. I'm reading each section from the book in 2-3 days while taking notes on the side of the notes. Then hitting major MCQs.

I finally cleared all of the new questions. Gonna review my notes and then hop on the missed questions to get to review phase. Might re-visit Gleim by the close of the week.

AUD - 1st - 60 (12/12), 61 (2/13), 61 (8/13), 78! (11/15)
REG - 55 (2/16) 69 (5/16) Retake(8/16)
BEC - 71(5/16) Retake (9/16)
FAR - (8/16)

my exam is on 3/8 and i have about 900 questions i haven't seen yet (using primarily Ninja MCQ, Ninja Notes and Rogers Book) this is a retake…
you guys think i should just hammer away the new MCQ by section??? or just do all new questions in rando that way i am exposed to all the material?!?!

[mtaylo24]

@Ralph_s6, personally, I started doing random, but I felt like I wasn't making process. I went through them quick whenever I started going by category. I do plan to do the random sets after I hit review phase, I don't think there is really a right or wrong way to attack the questions….

AUD - 1st - 60 (12/12), 61 (2/13), 61 (8/13), 78! (11/15)
REG - 55 (2/16) 69 (5/16) Retake(8/16)
BEC - 71(5/16) Retake (9/16)
FAR - (8/16)

@MTAYLO24 got it thanks for the response. i see you grinding right now… im just concerned because of the short time i have. Im trying to squeeze it in before the changes.

i've been going section by section so i will just stick to that and go HAM until test day..

I've got BEC on 2/27 and I just started studying this past Monday. Not being cocky, but I enjoy this material and most of it comes natural to me. We'll see!

[Tncincy]

Oh Lord, work is over, pulling out the study materials…anxiety is riding me again…..Oh Lord….I need strength. I do not want to reschedule.!!!!!

Hey is anyone using the book (anybook) to answer questions in the ninja mcq's. The notes are good, but I feel like I am missing a lot of materials from the notes to the questions. Direction please.

Anxiety setting in. My test is on March 1st and I can't seem to clear B3 of Becker….avg 51. Any suggestions? I trying to stay optimistic but I'm starting to forget things. HELP! I'm now in CRAM/PANIC mode.

[CPAIN2K17]

@tncincy Yeah, I definitely don’t think the notes were meant to be complete study materials. They are more for review and to supplement a more detailed study book or software. I am using Wiley and use the notes to review after I have completed the Wiley course.

[Tncincy]

I was using the notes and rewriting them, but when I go to the questions I was trying to find some answers in the notes, wrong again. I have the ninja book, I can't be lazy is the bottom line, so back to the book and more mcq's.

For Becker B3 I have the formulas and book in front of me when I practice the questions, the questions kind of repeat in variation so by the third time I see the problem, I have the formula memorized.

[Theodore]

Hi Guys! I am testing on 3/6 and I feel ok except for a couple of sections. I am having trouble with ABC problems and Variances still. On Variances I would say the VOH and FOH. Does anyone know of where I can find a better explanation on these topics. This is a retake, using Becker. I have the Ninja MCQs thinking it was going to be like AUD but they were a lot harder and I had already forgotten majority of the material. 1 point people, 1 point is all I needed to finally be done. Sad thing is that I am so burnt out form studying that I have no motivation what so ever. -.- Have never wasted so many weekends in a row like I did for this section.

FAR: 66, 76!
REG: 76!
AUD: 72, 9/7/2016
BEC: TBA
