    Hey guys and gals,

    I was thinking if people wanted to meet online google plus or skype once or twice a week to study together. It would be cool, and maybe give us a little support and we can help each other out.

    Just wondering: Has anyone had success using a study-buddy system?

    I personally do not know. I figured maybe we mee online just to give support once or twice a week and talk and do some MCQs together. I def think it would be cool just to interact and maybe we can learn tricks from each other on how to work a problem.

    I can see maybe using it as tool for motivation. Challenge each other to get x amount of sections or mcp' s completed. Or offer a list of the best 10 things we learned that week.

    Why not start a study group thread here? 😉

    There is a huge danger in this, although I can see the perceived benefit. You have no idea who is on the other line, how well they know the material, etc. People that have passed would be unlikely to participate. Personally I would get my info from the review materials and the review materials only.

    Completely agree.

    This isn't like college … this is an exam you study for by yourself.

    If you need motivation – start a group here … do not meet strangers and study together…it's a very inefficient use of time…and just not a good idea in general.

    What I've found is sometimes I feel more motivated when I'm around other people who are studying, even when we're not studying the same material at the same time. A lot of times I'll meet co-workers or friends from college at the library to study.

    What I have done in the past was when I was in the Becker online class some of us had study chat sessions ( I am still doing this with one of my former becker classmates) We would start studying at the top of the hour for 50 minutes then take 10 minutes to meet up in the chat room to discuss any issues or questions we had or just chat about anything non exam related for a brain break. Then back to it. Really helped to stay motivated.

    That would be nice if we had a chat room (or rooms, say one for each exam) on here that we could do this with, The other thing would be to just utilize the study thread for it but sometimes it's better in the chat room because it auto refreshes and you see the messages as they come up rather than constantly refreshing the threads.

    I want a “study buddy.” 😉

    The only benefit I would see in this is when people post on here(A71), there may be a delay in responses if you get a thread going because of where people are, different time zones & schedules. I am not personally interested because it would be too much to get everyone coordinated and I am not rich in time. If I am really stumped on something I ask my other CPA candidate friends in my area.

    If it works for others, there may be the benefit of getting answers quicker, like I said above.

    maybe just an accountability thread? the power week thread is mostly good for this. Peer pressure can help you get over humps in this super long soul sucking process.

    or one accountability thread for each section? that's a lot of threads.

    I do know that I used to check in on the study discussion threads and don't anymore because they are a bit stale in general.

    I mean if anyone is interested email me at sulman_moh@yahoo.com. I just started to study for FAR. Im sure we can work something out. We dont have to spend a lot of time together maybe 2 – 3 hours a week. Google Plus is really cool where about 5 or 6 of us can hang out can just study and have a good time doing it.
