    I’ve had a few requests for April/May Study Groups…March will be here before you know it.

    In order to take an early April exam, you should begin studying…now. 🙂

    Does anyone else listen to lectures during the workday? This is one thing that I didn't try on previous exams. Its really hard to absorb anything while working but I figure if it gets me a couple of extra points on the exam it will be worth it. Anyone else do this?

    Also, I am referring to the REG audio Jeff put together with the 10 Point combo

    I do listen to talk radio while I work and sometimes the ninja audio, however when listening to the Ninja audio I notice that I stop paying attention until Jeff reminds me what is important.

    I've done it before, the Ninja audio as well as Becker lectures. It's good when your brain is alert enough, not everyday is a good day to do it tho. The nice thing about the ninja audio is that it is made of short segments so you can squeeze them in easily, while Becker is long so that was harder. Do the ninja audios, I listened to them like twice during work. Only takes a few days to go through them.

    I listen to the audios of the chapters I've completed and the current chapter I'm on. It's just for repetition and I'm actually surprised how much stuff sticks even when I feel like I was zoned out. I also listened to the lectures for my other exams everyday heading to work and back home and it has definitely helped me just retain the information since it's just so much to remember.

    @JustWant75 Good to hear I'm not the only one listening to them on repeat lol

    For those of you taking the exam in mid-April, how far along are you with your studies? I am hopefully going to wrap up R5 readings/ notes and multiple choice tonight. According to my schedule I have about 12 days (including 2 weekends) to finish R6-R8 before I start my final review. I'm scheduling my final review to last about 14 days (longer if I can get through the last 3 sections) – does this sound about right to everyone else? Its starting to feel kind of tight timing-wise…

    I'm debating rescheduling to the second score release of this window. Probably May 15th. I'll have covered all the material by April 15th but would like more review time. I want to take the exam early so I can be done with it, but if I fail in April I'll have to wait about TWO months for a retake. I'll go nuts. I am not in any jeopardy of losing credits or have any good reason for taking the exam so soon. Is it foolish of me not to wait till May? I guess I still have a few weeks to decide. Like many of you, it's the Wiley Test Bank questions that are making me feel discouraged. I get so angry taking the Contracts section questions in WTB. I get them wrong 50% of the time.

    @MikeHoncho I was in the same place as you but decided on the 2nd score release window. I'd rather have more time to prepare than have to pay another 150+ and re-take the exam again. If you feel comfortable with the material go for 4/15 but if you don't i would suggest that you move it to 05/15.
