NINJA Question –

Anyone used only the NINJA book and mcq’s without notes and videos, and successfully passed? I know that people have been successful with the combo, book, mcq, and videos, but what about book and test bank alone?

This is the approach to study for BEC and all I did was read one section of the book at a time then do the ninja mcq and repeat any hard parts again. The book ties well with the mcq but the thing I disliked was the fact that the book doesn't cover everything in the ninja mcq. I did this for two weeks leading up to my exam and if I had two additional weeks I probably would of felt more confident taking the exam but I will tell you what I got when I receive my score.

I have the entire 10 point combo but like I said earlier I only utilized the book and MCQ which I can say is enough to pass. However, I would recommend writing your own notes and reviewing them often.

@wafflehouse:

Thanks for the tip. I was/am concerned about how much actual time I will have for notes, since I take BEC on 4/14. We will see how it goes.

I've only done books and MCQs myself, but have the Ninja Notes and Audio. I think time in front of the computer is better well spend doing MCQs than watching videos.

The notes and audio are great for review, but not as the main study material (see my first FAR score).

Thanks for the helpful tidbits!

@ Waffle_House:

Just checking back with you to see how it went with BEC, utilizing your study method. I'm curious to find out.

I got a 73 which isn't that bad as I only got through 60% of the material 🙁 I started studying for my retake for mid April and I will definitely be using the same method. I plan on hitting the review phase of ninja mcq but now I will utilize my ninja notes and audio in every way. Also since I'm a little familiar with the material I am going to add CPAreviewforFREE because well it's free and it doesn't hurt doing more mcq.

You were close, so good deal! You will get it this time! Sounds like your method works!
