    For me, the worst was August/September/October because it is still nice outside and college football is popping. Nothing worse than having to study on Saturday when everyone is going to the bar to watch the best games.

    Best time to study was February and March when nothing is going on.

    Unless you work in public accounting and Jan-Apr. is impossible to study. For me the best time was Oct.-Dec. Summer studying isn't very enjoyable either.

    Studying in the summer (who wants to be in a library when there's perfect beach weather) and Nov-Dec during the holidays were the worst study times for me.

    Right after busy season in the spring was definitely the best. Or the late summer, early fall.

    Right now is the best. It's far too hot to go outside and enjoy anything.

    Worst is definitely football season. I gave up on adding Saturdays to my study schedule. Sunday isn't as difficult. I can get a good day of studying in after I watch the Bucs lose.

    BEC - 83 7/25

    AUD - Hopefully before MY Audit...7/5?

    Summer time is definitely hard to study. I live in the mitten so hot days are numbered lol .But if your working in public accounting I can't imagine working 60+ hours then coming home and studying.

    I started in March and didn't have a tough time focusing until recently. It sucks to miss out on golf trips and vacations only to read BEC topics.

    I started in August'14 and wrapped up in April'15. I wanted to avoid studying during the summer at all costs.

    I enjoyed (well, using that word very loosely) studying in the summer as I'd sit on the back patio in the sun with my book or laptop. I was still getting to enjoy the warmth of the sun and being outdoors, and the bright daylight prevented me from falling asleep (which was almost guaranteed when listening to lectures or doing flashcards). You may not feel like youre missing out as much during the winter, but I was more tired and sick of being holed up in the same spot every single day.
