NINJA Question –

I’ve been studying for a month and can’t seem to trend over 70%. Currently sitting at 64% and trending downward. I’m very frustrated. Just punched my lamp off my desk and broke it. My test is 1/11/16. Don’t know what to do. Scoring weaker in Govt and NFP and not seeing any progress after spending time only studying that for the past week. Total clueless and honestly ready to quit. Help!

Using Gleim and I feel completely lost. What is your study method?

[csvirk]

just take a break and get back to studies later. Whenever my trend start doping I just take a break, fresh up my head and comeback later with more energy. FAR is too much information and require a lot of time. Idea is to understand the concept. When you do MCQ try to understand why A is right and why B, C, and D are wrong. Engage yourself in FAR Q1 2016 study group discussions. Post your questions there and try to answer fellow ninja's questions. This will help you to reinforce the
understanding. What i do is do 50 – 100 MCQ per day. Write down the concepts for the question i get wrong and redo those question next day. This will help to reinforce the concept. Hope this helps and Wish you good Luck

I use Ninja as well.

@csvirk – how do you get those questions that you missed? Do you write down what mcq# it was? I have been using Far study group every once in awhile. Do you recommend trying to use it everyday? And could you shed a little more light on how you take notes on questions you missed? Also, I've been doing chunks of 20 MCQ at a time. I feel like this is too much for me. I seem to lose focus. What do you do?

Thank you

@DZagt, I used Gleim for MCQ practice, but it was much harder than the real test, so I am using Ninja now.


@Broag, I think sometimes we are too tired and started to not reading questions carefully. Also, I found that I always overthink questions now.

Bec, 6/10/2016, 70,9/8 retake

I never tried to remember the questions. I just write down the concept related to that question given under description. Don't try to remember the MCQ because actual CPA will test your understanding about concepts. I allow 3 hour per day since i work full time and about 6 hour on the weekend. I did about 3K+ questions before i sat for my 2nd try. In my review I went through the material which felt confident quickly and did more MCQ for the section which I performed poorly. If you going through the questions first time and averaging in low 70s then it is fine. It happened to me and but then i picked it up when i did my review. Like everyone says do as much as MCQs until you puke your guts out. Let me know if you have more questions.

I did not use study group in FAR but I am using it for my AUD on regular basis. It does help and it helped me understand AUD concepts. NINJA has a option to just show all the trouble questions. Its in drop down option right above where you choose how many question you want to do.
