Using becker for audit and I’m going through each lecture and taking notes on everything highlighted, written or emphasized. I’m almost done with A2 and with 3 more parts to go, my hand is tired and I’m not sure that I’ll want to rewrite all these notes.

So, my question is…is it bad to switch it up at this point and just watch the lectures and then just rewrite the becker final review book or NINJA notes instead? I hate to have wasted time, but studying is a drag right now with all the lectures and note taking.

Any advice?

I felt like writing everything out and rewriting it really helped me and was the difference in my REG scores. It may seem like a lot, but if you have the time it will end up being worth it. If you are running out of time get to MCQs ASAP

jjim1181, I had to say I had the same problems. The funny part is that I didn't even remember what I wrote for A1 & A2 by the time i get to A4. I fount out that it was easier just went back to the book. But i did finish taking notes on all lectures.

@j214 – I take AUD on Nov 30 so I havwe some time. I'm just feeling like all the detail I'm writing out will a waste of time. I have to constantly stop the video, write down the ENTIRE paragraph that Tim highlighted and then start again. It's taking forever to get through the material.

@ToCPA2011 – That's how I'm feeling and I have even finished A2. I'm looking over A1 and it's foreign already because I'm so focused on keeping up with all the dang highlighting that I stop listening. How many pages of notes did you end up having for all 5 lectures?
