So this is what I’m going into the battle with: Ninja MCQs, Ninja Notes, Ninja Audio, and the Wiley book. Could use some helpful pointers here.

I was thinking of something general along the lines of read the notes corresponding to the topic I’ll be reading in the book, read the topic in the book, rewrite the notes, do book and Ninja MCQs; listen to the audio whenever I get the chance.

If anyone has what they feel is a better / more successful strategy given these materials or any helpful tips I’d love to see them.

Just put the time in. 8765 hours in a year, spend 700 of those hours split up between 4 exams and i guarantee you will pass. I put in a ridiculous amount of time studying. My college GPA is probably the lowest of anybody in this forum so its not like i came in with a lot of prior knowledge. So if i can pass it realistically anybody can.

You study plan sounds great to me. I converted the Ninja Notes into Word and added notes from the book and the MCQ into the Ninja notes to get one comprehensive set of notes. That really helped me study along the way. Go through the MCQ at least twice and listen to the audio as much as possible.

@mamabear what a great idea I'll be using this tip.

@aspiring – I think you're set material wise now its time to crack open the wiley book and do as mamabear said. I regret not taking notes as I went from the start. A good way to do is read the book. highlight as you read, then type/rewrite what you have highlighted.

The problem you will run into is that the wiley books are a little on the wordy side so it really comes down to if you are a fast reader and can stay focused for extended periods of times.

Highlighting the important parts will help you though and will make the review process a breeze. Goodluck!
