    Using Becker … firm’s paying, I don’t mind.

    Also going to purchase Wiley’s Test Bank and the two Android Apps (mcq’s and notecards).

    So here’s the plan:

    3 days each chapter.

    Day 1 – Half the lecture (I know length will vary due to Becker halving super short/long sections), MCQ’s for those sections, notes on mcq’s that were incorrect

    Day 2 – Next half of lecture, mcq’s, notes on mcq’s that were incorrect

    Day 3 – Review notes, more mcq’s

    Next 3 days repeat for same chapter. Then on 7th day, review both chapters.

    I’m not going to spend anytime in the books. I can’t focus worth a damn while reading. I’ll take some notes during the lectures, mainly with the mnemonics and things they highly stress on.

    How does this compare to what everyone else is doing?

    Sounds like you got a good study plan. Im taking becker live classes and they go over 2 chapters a week. The day after class, I do the MCQ and sims for one chapter as this takes up a lot of time. The following day I'll work on the next chapter. For the rest of the week I do the progress test and go over topics that I felt needed work on.

    Sounds like a good plan. The one suggestion I'd make is to do some reading on day 3 for sections you feel you are weak in. There are topics in the book that are glossed over in the video lectures. The reading is really not that bad if you break it into pieces. I hate reading as well but this method helped me a lot in BEC and FAR.

    BEC - 84
    AUD - 83
    FAR - 82
    REG - 81

    I'm DONE! CERTIFIED PARTY ANIMAL!

    Yeah I went through all of the MC's yesterday for A1. I usually read through Becker's explanation at the bottom if I get a question incorrect but if I still don't understand I suppose I could read.
