@Awesome (Great name, btw). For me, when I took notes on the questions and worked them, it took about an hour to get through 12. Keep in mind that averages about 5 minutes a question. Hopefully you are learning a lot in that 5 minute time frame. As it keeps going, it gets faster – especially when you review. When I started this whole process with FAR, it seemed like it took FOREVER – but then you start to learn ways of working with it and learning what works for you. I have NO CLUE as to how many trees I have killed since I started this process – but I am certain it is a tiny forest.

If you are using Becker, there is a note section in the homework part where you can type in notes. I did that for a few of my exams – especially audit since it was all words.

Oh wow Awesome! Well i am in the same bucket as you.. I am going to do two this month. I just start AUD and it was a B_ _ _ _ !!!! now doing REG.

It is good that you are not working as yes you can definitely invested a lot of time studying and pass these exams by Nov 2013.

Sometimes I wonder if i will make it since i am working full time and its very hard to come home and study when you have zero energy… going to keep trying 🙂

FAR 05/27/14; 786/110 - Done !

@Wendy Love your attitude!

Question: For those of you using the Ninja notes – do you rewrite them the week before your exam or the week of your exam? (if your exam is on a Friday). I have my own notes that I hand wrote for each chapter and then typed them up but I also have the ninja notes (probably a little over prepared – just want this one done). Thanks!!

@Heidi When i have re-written notes i try to be finished by at least a week before the exam. The week leading up to the exam i usually just do non-stop MCQ and some SIMS and any question i get wrong that I didn't remember the concept i add it on to the end of my notes (even if i have it written down already). I usually do these in 20 MCQ sessions on Wiley Test Bank and flag the ones i get wrong then at the end of each session I redo all the flagged questions before closing the session to re-enforce the concepts.

Usually if you have studied enough you end up getting 80%+ in these sessions just before the exam (at least that is the goal) it helps enforce concepts but also gives you a confidence boost.

Good luck!

Heidi-O I usually do them on like the Sat/Sun prior to Friday. I also get to the testing center with plenty of time so I can retread them right before I go in. At that point the notes have been looked at so many times its like an added confidence boost cuz if you know that much you just have to pass right?! Best of luck!!

Hopeful this time around.... Back after a 2 year break!!
