Hello..

First off.. i know, i know there are mutiple post on this subject..

I’m currently on Becker A-3 in my 2nd week of studying.. My strategy so far has been..

1) Going through the lecture section ex. A1.1 then A1.2 then A1.3 etc.

2) After each section, I would write notecards for points I thought were important.

3) After doing all sections, I do the HW questions.. I do pretty bad the 1st time.. like 60-70%.. although A-2 was very easy to me, i assume to most..

4) Redo the questions I got wrong..

5) Progress test..(after A2)

So, I’m wondering if this is a good strategy.. I plan on using the last 2 weeks to go over my notes and go through all the MC’s over again..

but, I havent been really absorbing all the memonics and stuff in the book.. I hear doing the MC’s over and over is the key to passing..

idk i feel like it is nearly impossible to “memorize” all highlighted/memonics/etc in the becker book..

wut are your thoughts BECKER users! thank you

Hey andhkim,

I'm in the same boat as you right now with Auditing, and I'm pretty much doing all the same things you are. I used it on my last two exams and I thought it went well.

I had trouble with the mnemonics also, but I used a tip I got from one of the lecturers in a Becker live class. She actually made notes of all her mnemonics on post-its and stuck them on her wall at home and at work. Right now, a small section of my wall is filled with 30 or so post its, with mnemonics from Auditing. You'll be surprised by how much actually sinks in just by taking a peek every once in awhile.

And another benefit is that your wall will look like a beautiful paper mache project after you're done with it.
