NINJA Question –

Hi all

I have adopted a pretty tough study strategy for REG and BEC (see signature), and need to consider the time constraint carefully before I go ahead and do this. After finishing reading the Becker books, I figure I have about 100 hours left.

I want to spend those 100 hours on NINJA MCQs for both REG and BEC, and I want to do all of them, from scratch by using the “new questions” functionality (i.e. first round with the MCQs, and not using the random/repetitive MCQ functionality). I remember from AUD how I managed to do more than 300 MCQs a day, but that was with the random/repetitive functionality so I suppose I was really quick on some of them. For FAR, I barely made it through 120 MCQs a day (about 10 hours), due to the wordiness of the questions, extensive calculations needed, and thoroughly reading the answers.

So, those of you who have been working on the NINJA MCQs for BEC and REG, how many questions would you be able to do per hour?

I will be in a serious cram mode, and will have 10 study hours a day. I was hoping to do 4×30=120 BEC, and 6×30=180 REG MCQs each day, adding up to 300 MCQs. I realize it is a tough schedule, and trying to figure out if it (timewise) is at all doable. If BEC MCQs are similar to AUD MCQs, then 120 of them in a day should be a piece of cake, but if the REG are similar to the FAR MCQs, then another 180 will be really challenging.

AUD - 95 / Jul 15 / 130h over 4 weeks
FAR - 86 / Aug 14 / 240h over 4 weeks
(11 week break)

REG - 81 / Nov 14 / 200h over 4 weeks
BEC - 87 / Nov 17 / 30 h over 2.5 days

I haven't gotten to REG yet, but I can try to help u out with BEC. I've been using WTB for BEC and the questions aren't like AUD because they require a lot of calculations. It's easy to get thru lots of AUD questions a day because they require no calculations. But the questions for BEC have a lot of math and require 2 or more step calculations, so I wouldn't underestimate it (at least that's how WTB is). In WTB there aren't that many conceptual ones unless it's IT or COSO related. Again, I wouldn't know how these compare to Ninja MCQ as I only have Ninja for FAR and not BEC yet.

I think your schedule is pretty rigorous and might burn u out. Not trying to discourage u at all, but BEC is harder than most people think so I would give it some more time.

AUD: 84
FAR: 75
BEC: 78
REG: 75

DONE-ZO!!!!!!!!
