Well, my plan is to get through the lecture first, then work on MCQs and write the NINJA notes out. As well as listen to audios while I am driving and whatnot. I am just trying to focus on all my free time and get through the lectures to give myself a decent amount of time to do problems and review.

Happy Birthday to you both!

I am using NINJA Notes, Wiley, Gleim

In April and May I will be taking FAR and AUD.

My overall study plan is to do the hour in the morning, hour at lunch and then a couple hours at night. I like your concept of breaking up the study time, I am not good at studying for too many hours straight…I am easily distracted. 🙂

Thanks for all you do Jeff!

Study materials I am using:

Becker self review(main course and final review, flash cards)

Wiley Book for MC's

CPA for free MC”s

Exams I am taking in Q2

REG and FAR

My overal study plan and attack:

I have previously passed AUD and BEC using Becker exclusively. I took REG on 2/29 and made a 68. I decided that it was time to supplement my study with other materials so I decided to implement the other two courses above. I study at least two to three hours each night and about 10-12 hours each Saturday and Sunday. In the past, I have studied at home (and have stayed focused but the dog does interrupt some) but this time around I am going to the library every Sunday for for hours of uniterrupted time. For each chapter in Becker(regular course and Final Review), I listen to the lectures, work the MC's twice(including supplmental), work all the SIMS twice, write hundreds of pages of notes, formulas, you name it.

I am studying for both REG (4th time) and FAR(1st time).

I am making some changes in hopes that will give me the boost to make it to 75 for REG in April and in May for FAR.

I sure could use some more study materials:) (wink, wink)
