hey guys,

I want to try and pass the CPA with just ninja notes, audio, and mcq so I made my own revised study plan for a 7 week period for FAR.

REVISED planner here: https://i.imgur.com/8E2WXcU.png

any suggestions or does this seem like a solid plan?

week 1: reading of notes/listen to audio
weeks 2: re-write of notes/listen to audio
week 3+4: hammer out MCQs constantly/audio
week 5: re-write of notes/listen to audio
week 6+7: notes, audio, and MOSTLY mcq

I used only Roger, so I'm unfamiliar with how Ninja study materials are set up. That being said, I hope you plan on doing MCQ's prior to week 3. IMO MCQs (as long as they are the same level of difficulty as the exam, and not repeats) are really the only way you know if you're understanding the material. If you postpone them till week 3, you risk having to review what you previously learned too much. Good luck!

BEC - 88 8/29/15
REG - 82 11/14/15
AUD - 83 1/8/16
FAR - 80 2/29/16

I tried the process of going through all of the lectures before I started doing questions, and I will say that I don't think it was as successful as doing questions as you go because the concepts are much more solidified after answering questions. If you're doing Ninja MCQ/Notes/Audio, I would start with MCQ from the beginning. You can learn so much from reading all of the explanations and side notes from the MCQ that you can probably even pass with that alone as long as you are reading EVERYTHING. I would do the MCQ, take the time to understand every explanation and why the other answers were wrong, then glance through Ninja Notes periodically throughout your study period while listening to Ninja Audio whenever you can constantly. Rewriting the Ninja notes is cool, but I would probably do it after you've gotten through all of the MCQs once. After that, rewrite the notes, then do review questions and possibly add to your notes. Seems like a pretty solid study plan. I don't think you're missing TOO much from not having lectures/book and it will definitely be time-efficient.
