Hi All,

I have REG scheduled for the 24th of August, and I am using Ninja Book, Ninja Audio, Ninja Notes and Ninja MCQ. I can spend about 5-6 hrs a day studying.

So my question is there a better way for me to go about studying. Currently I read the Ninja Book, and rewrite what I read after in a detailed outline. I have just finished Ethics and Business Law, but it seems like it is not the best/efficient way to do things. I havent even touched the MCQ (maybe 1 hour). I do listen to the audio a lot, but have not yet utilized the notes. I was wondering for the remaining chapters Federal Tax, Property Transactions, Individual Tax, and Entity Tax, Should I just read through the material? I say this because I can read through the material pretty quickly usually in a day, but creating the outline seems to take me about 2 days just because I literally reread and rewrite what is on the ninja book. I want to really dive into the MCQ when I have completed reading the material. I may just read through the rest of the material and start the MCQ, and revist the book while hammering MCQ.

Also wanted to get thoughts on purchasing the gliem product just for the SIMs since I searched on here and saw great reviews.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

FAR 81
AUD 65, 84 (Used Ninja MCQ which I say contributed to my huge increase in score I love you Jeff)
REG 87 (CPA excel Wiley Self Study Book, Ninja 10 point combo)
BEC 86! I Must Pass or I lose my FAR Credit, Pray for me(Becker, Wiley, WTB, Ninja MCQ, Ninja Notes)

DONE!!!!!!

Using : Wiley CPA Exam Review Textbook, Wiley TB, Ninja Notes, Ninja MCQ

In general, I find it helps to read and re-read chapters until I have a good grasp of the material, then doing the MCQ's. Jumping into MCQ's too soon and getting half or more of them wrong just leaves me discouraged. Also, I feel like it's a waste of time to take notes unless you still don't understand something after going through it a second time, but that's just my opinion… Have you used the Wiley materials at all for REG? I've been reading the business law ch's in both the Wiley and NINJA books and I'm still struggling with it.
