No worries!! I know how you feel. It was super overwhelming the first time I studied for FAR because there's just so much information and it's all on you to figure out the best way to study!
I watched the Roger lectures and also read through the book and took notes. What helped me was taking notes in a notebook but then also making sticky notes of the big/important topics and sticking them all over my wall (yes, it was a LOT of notes by the end of it!)
There's no right way to study. I feel like everyone eventually figures out what works best for them. I've read some people passing without even watching videos. Some only hammer MCQs/SIMS and don't even open the book (I do not recommend this).
I think it's also important to remember that you don't want to just memorize these concepts. You want to make sure you can understand them AND apply them. Make the most out of your study sessions. As Roger says “If you study, you WILL pass.” This is 100% true! I'm not smart by any means (mostly a B/C student) but I studied my butt off and it paid off. It did suck having to get off work at 5:30-6 PM and go into studying, but looking back, I wouldn't change a thing. It was worth getting those 3 letters!
