    I’ve been doing MCQ and re-writing Ninja notes every day for a week now. I thought giving myself 3 weeks until my retake would be sufficient since I just took the exam at the end of May. Re-writing notes is taking way longer than expected. Should I re-type them instead? I’m kind of scattered all over the place trying to cover different topics. What should I be doing for these last two weeks?

    Retaking 7/2 and going on vacation on 7/3. Should I postpone this thing?

    I opted to get my info through e-mail. I think I got mine like two or three days after I got my results. I'm trying to get licensed in PA. Some states don't release score sheets at all. I think to figure out if your state releases them check on the NASBA site. Not sure though.

    As someone suggested before, I think it would be most efficient and effective to spend a majority (if not all) of your remaining time working Ninja MCQs. It will identify your weak areas and help you learn where you stand overall. I wouldn't worry about your scores or pace but just take the time to work through the questions and study the answers and explanations to help you learn. Keep a Word document running and copy and paste any questions/explanations that you find are gaps in your knowledge for review the day or so before your exam. You could read/re-write notes when you get burned out on questions but that's definitely not my learning style, nor does it seem efficient. Your notes are going to probably be on a lot larger scale of the material than the details you will be learning from working the questions which would hopefully help tie things together… Good luck, you can do it!

    Thanks everyone. Really helpful insight.

    @ARCPA — did you hit the review phase on Ninja MCQ for any of your passes?

    Nope. I use Ninja as a supplemental tool to Becker. My strategy is to basically go through all of the videos taking quick notes and then start back at chapter 1 working homework questions and work all the way through the last chapter. Once I have finished all of the Becker homework questions (making sure to learn as much as I feasibly can) and making sure to correctly answer each question I then kick Becker to the curb and focus on Ninja MCQs. I try to plan my exam study time in advance to make sure I can see every Ninja MCQ once (I only do sessions of new questions, none previously seen) however, that can be difficult due to time constraints. I also try to save a week for review and nailing down weak areas if possible, but sometimes I have to take time from that week to finish Ninja. For BEC I only had 1-2 days of review due to timing. But no, I have never actually made it to a review phase. I think I got close on FAR because it was a retake (I did not use Ninja my first attempt) and had not re-watched the lectures so I had more time to dedicate to Ninja. When I do get to the point of having seen each question once I change from “new questions” to “trouble questions (or w/e its called)” during review time. I also try to take my Becker final exams during my week before the exam to make sure that I see any new questions and so I can compare to may actual exam scores afterwards (I normally tank the Becker final exams). #walloftext

    I got a 74 on REG…retaking early July. Hope to God I pass this next time. I'm going through the MCQ like a mad man and I feel like I know them. On my score sheet I was weaker in BLAW so I've been hitting that hard. Will review all sections the final week.

    AUD (PASSED) - 56, 91
    BEC (PASSED) - 80
    REG (PASSED) - 68, 74, 77
    FAR (PASSED) - 78
