How did you study using your Wiley software? Did you actually read the text book or was it enough to do the lectures, Power Point Slides, Index Cards and Exam questions.

FAR – 4/16

Are you using wiley CPA excel by the accounting professors or the wiley book by ray whittington? Everyones different, for me it was non stop working MCQs and Sims.

I will be taking my first exam on Jan 4th, so I guess take with a grain of salt since I don't know if my studying is effective or not.
First thing I do is watch the video, then look at the study text. If there is something that I feel I still don't fully understand I will read that section in the book. (sampling methods is one topic that I needed more instruction on to fully understand, so I read that section) Then I will do the mcq, sims, and additional mcq.
After I have done all the online sections that are covered in a single module of the book I will go through and do all the MCQ at the end of that book module.
I am also using Ninja MCQ. There are 6 sections in Ninja MCQ, so once I have covered all the topics in Wiley that are covered by a section in Ninja MCQ, I hammer on those. I'm a full time student right now so I have plenty of time to devote to studying for the CPA Exam, but I usually try to do 300-400 MCQ and some sims a day. My average score is 85% and trending 89.5%, so I guess that is my only indication of effectiveness so far.

@Biff that is impressive the amount of time you are able to dedicate to studying. I am lucky to get 1-2 hours during the week. I read the book all the way through first then i hammer out MCQ using Ninja. This worked for me for AUD and i came close last time with FAR so we will see.
