Take Notes or Not?

    I take my Auditing test November 22nd, this is a retake from when I took it in August. I didn’t take notes last time, & was wondering if it would be benefitial for me to take notes this time. I have already been through Ch.1 & typed notes. It takes me about double the length of the lectures to take notes while watching. I know many say to rewrite their notes during their review, but since I only have 18 days left & work part time, I don’t think I will have time. Looking for advice on whether to even type them out or just spend more of the time doing MCQs since I won’t have time to rewrite them which is where I would learn most of the information since actually writing it out. Thanks in advance.

    I took extensive notes for FAR and REG, but no notes for AUD.

    AUD is just a tricky word game. Instead of taking notes for AUD, I did over 3,000 multiple choice questions. With the exception of statistics, there are no calculations in AUD.

    Perhaps compile a list of things to memorize for sure or brief summarization of key areas vs notes on every bit of a chapter. I just compile a list to keep staring at at the end of studying during my reviews.

    FAR 92 - AUD 91 - REG 94 - BEC 86
