I’d been warned by just about everyone not to underestimate the 2 chs of Becker that go over gov & not for profit (F8/F9).
I really wanted to take this beast on and conquer this topic. I watched the Becker lectures diligently, taking all the required notes and then some, replaying parts if I wasn’t following, etc. I spent time reading over the chapter and trying to take logical notes and rewriting all the main topics.
All this time I’ve been waiting for this “ah ha!” moment where everything would come together and click, and I’d see the ‘big picture’. With every difficult topic before this that is what happened. During lectures I would feel overwhelmed but things start making sense after reading the chapter.
I do not feel that way about Governmental. Yes, I get the definitions and whatnot, but I’m still not seeing ‘big picture’ and understanding the logic behind the concepts. When I read the explanations behind the HW solutions I’m genuinely like “what? where did that come from?” And I’m not a fan of memorizing and regurgitating on the exam without understanding.
This topic accounts for way too many points on the exam to just wing it and hope for the best, so I’m hoping to gather some insight from you guys based on your experience. Keep in mind my exam is in a week. Should I re-watch the lectures and those commit 7 hours and/or re-read the chapters? If I keep at it will it eventually come together? Or should I try another review software for this topic to see it presented in a different way? I would love to hear what worked for you guys, thanks.
