    Becker, better to use the book or the lectures? My book hasn’t come in yet so I’m currently using the lectures, but I find being online you are very susceptible to distractions. So I am wondering, can you do just fine using the textbook without watching the lectures?

    I would watch the lectures at least once just because Peter and Tim do give hints and tips, and outline the main points in the book that you need to know.

    After you've made notes according to Tim and Peter, reading the lectures in the book becomes a lot more manageable and you can focus on what was highlighted/noted.

    Both. Without a doubt. Nothing personal at all, but constructive criticism: you have to use both with your prior scores. Devour a chapter at a time. Don't move to the next chapter until you “Get” your current chapter. Best of luck. Tim and Peter will get you there. Just study hard.

    It's finally freaking over.
