I recently purchased the Wiley online test bank and have not started using it. I am using Becker and have two lectures left on FAR. Will it be better to do the test bank along with my lectures than to do them in my final review weeks before the exam? I feel running out of time even though I have more than 3 weeks left until my exam. There is so much to study. I also try to use the Wiley paper book to prepare myself. But it takes long time to read and do all the questions in both Wiley and Becker. How should I prioritize them?

I used the Becker text but not the videos and the Wiley text and test bank. I did the Wiley text problems when I was going through the material the first time but didn't do Becker. I then used the Wiley test bank problems when going through my review.

F8 and F9 took me longer on average than the other sections because my GOVT/NFP class was so long ago and wasn't very good. I found the Becker text to be quite good on these subjects, but I thought Wiley was terrible and quit reading it after spending a couple of hours on it and getting no where.

To most efficiently use your time, I'd recommend that you just do Becker or Wiley text problems when studying the material. Try to do them without the text, but use the text or answer to the problem to work through it if you don't remember the concept. You need to write it down and make sure you understand how to solve the problem, but there's no need to waste time struggling on your initial study of the material. Use the test bank on your review–it goes faster than the paper problems and gives you immediate feedback on your answer if you use study mode. It also helps you improve your speed which is crucial on FAR. If there's an area you don't feel good about after this, you can always go back to the text problems you didn't do for more practice.

FAR 4/1/11 - 89
AUD 4/15/11 - 85
REG 4/29/11 - 80
BEC 5/13/11 - 85
