    So I have been studying for about 4 weeks using CPAexcel and honestly I haven’t really been paying attention cause the lectures bore me to death. I have 3 weeks before I take the exam and kinda can’t change the date because due to crappy scheduling on my part. Should I just focus on the Ninja notes/audio and the Wiley Test Bank (which I already have) or go back to using CPAexcel? Comments, suggestions?

    Well, you are kinda of in a tough spot. Your best use of time is to practice the multiple choice questions lots and lots! Im not sure that the test bank itself really matters all that much, just use one and do as many questions as you can. I'm sure adding in Jeff's NINJA will help! The lectures aren't as important as reading the material and making your own notes. I would add the lecture for any topics you are struggling with, but with the the time crunch – you are better off forgetting the rest.

    The most important thing is to really buckle down and focus in the next 3 weeks. It is certainly possible to study in 3 weeks and pass, but you really have to commit all your time and make it count.

    Good luck!

    Agree with above. Read through the Modules and practice MCQs. Keep good notes on the questions you get wrong (Practice Session tests on Wiley TB are particularly helpful). I found that to be the best way to get a handle on all those little caveats and exceptions to the rules you see in REG. I'd also add start practicing the Wiley TB Simulations. The first two times I took REG, the Sims really tripped me up, but i thought Wiley test bank Sims did a good job in preparing me for the actual exam.
