As you can see in my signature I have Roger’s review course. Right now I am still trudging through just watching the lectures and have about halfway to go.

I feel guilty that I am ONLY watching the videos since we’re being constantly told to watch the lecture then work the problems, re-work the problems, etc. etc. etc.I have not started anything else as of yet, so I just really need some positive reassurance that the NINJA order of things truly has worked for some others.

Another problem I’m having is with note taking. I do my best to write down little “fact nuggets” as we go but with Roger I almost feel like sometimes its best to just sit and listen to him and try to absorb rather than write down notes because once you write down one topic he is already 4 topics ahead. So while watching the videos I am following along in the book and reading things as he is talking about them/reading them.

After I am done with the videos I plan on re-writing the NINJA notes while going through the Roger CPA book for each section and writing down little things that maybe the NINJA notes do not include. Does this strategy sound useful at all or should I re-think my entire game plan?

Another problem I have is the constant feeling that I am “running out of time” even though my first exam (FAR) is not until the last week of February.

In short: I’M FREAKING OUT.

I'm beginning to study for my retake for AUD and since my original plan obviously didn't go well, I'm giving the ninja plan a go…. since I'm using becker and have already listened to the lecture videos once, does it make sense to listen to the ninja audio this time around? I've purchased the 10 point combo to supplement my materials and I'm looking at all of the different ways I can do this and getting stressed…. any advice?

AUD: (65)(66) 77
REG: (66) (48) destroyed me mentally.....
FAR: (68) (66)(69)(71)
BEC: (63) 75

I have 7 weeks to study for my FAR retake. I am thinking I will spend the first 3 weeks nailing the video's, reading the NINJA notes, flashcards and listening to the audio. I'll then start my “focused frenzy” on the MCQ's and SIMS afterwards (ofcourse all while continuing with the notes, flash cards and audio). Does this sound ok?

Rigo- for your retake are you listening both becker and ninja audio? I thought about it but I don't know if that's a good use of time to listen to both sets? I've given myself 6 weeks to prepare for my retake so time isn't much of an issue but there still is no room for wasted time

AUD: (65)(66) 77
REG: (66) (48) destroyed me mentally.....
FAR: (68) (66)(69)(71)
BEC: (63) 75

Justanothercandidate- I like to back up what I learned the night before with the NINJA audio since I already own it. I usually listen to it on the commute to work.
