I make these wonderful study plan, and stick to them…. until I burn out. Studying gets boring and old very quickly. So how can I stick to the plan? I am motivated by competition, I have to be the best! There just isn’t any competition around me.

In the classroom setting this would be so much easier to attain. How can I stay on task!?

I passed all four exams the first time around with an average score of 83.5. I'll bet you $100 you can't beat that.

To avoid burn out, try using the Pomodoro Technique. You can compete against how many tasks/MCQs you knock off in each Pomodoro.

I'm competitive as well and having a grade to work for always was a good motivator for me, so I used this to motivate me when I was studying. Although I think Mini's challenge is a great motivator as well!

I made an 87 on auditing, beat that. There are many classes and degrees which are online now, it's the wave of the future (lack of a warm body to sit next to). Compete with the people here, pick someone whose posts you don't like and decide that you are going to get there faster and with better grades.

Then wipe them out! 😀
