@Qlad…. If it were me, I think it would be beneficial to have all three. Audio is great for the car and when you have to do stuff around the house (cooking, cleaning, yardwork, etc…). The audio lectures are broken up into small sections…some are 3 and 4 minutes long and the longest is around 20 minutes. They're great because you don't have to set aside a ton of time to listen to them and they're great at reinforcing the main topics. I realized during the middle of both of my failed FAR attempts, I spent more time studying the really detailed and complex topics and not enough time on the basic “you should know these” topics. I also realized I spent more time reading the Wiley chapters and not enough time working the actual problems. So, the third time around, I read the Ninja Notes for a specific topic (they're brief and get right to the point) and then began working the multiple choice questions for the areas I knew I was weak from the Wiley Test Bank. As I read the answers to the M/C, I added notes (fact nuggets) to the Ninja Notes. I also used the Wiley Focus Notes. I also made sure to spend more time working simulation problems. Think about it….the simulations and governmental and not for profit make up 60% of the exam so you definitely want to be very comfortable with those. Once I felt good about my weak areas, I moved to the other topics.
With 20 days until your exam, you've got to get up early and get 45 min – 1 hr of study time in before you start your day, as much time in on your lunch break, and 4 – 5 hours at night. For the weekends, tell your friends not to call you…if you need to take a break to get out of the house, you call them. If they call you and ask you to do something, you're going to be really tempted to tell yourself, “I'll make up for it tomorrow” and then go do whatever it is they're doing and you'll lose a study day. I recommend a minimum of 8 hours a day on weekends. You should get in no less than 80 hrs between now and your exam. For the 2 – 3 days right before the exam, I bumped up to 10 – 12 hours a day w/ several breaks. I was on academic probation at one point in my college career. I assure you, if I can pass this test, anyone can!
