I've passed three sections, so hopefully me advice helps some others!

I've used Becker for all my exams. I watch the lectures/take the notes they give us. I then go through all the homework for that chapter (marking any questions I've missed). Afterwards, I go back through the ENTIRE chapter and take my own notes. You have no idea how helpful my notes have been. When I get into the review stage, I condense my notes even more so I can quickly review the more difficult points before my exam. It's tiring but so helpful. I also mark the MCQ I get wrong or think I got lucky getting right and go through all those during my review stage. As others have mentioned, try to give yourself a week or two for review. They pack so much material into chapters that it's easy to forget. Fingers crossed for this last exam!

My advice would be to plan it out and let people know what your schedule is. Between working full time, recently getting married and studying for the exam, I have found that life constantly pulls me in different directions. My saving grace: scheduling it all out. When I spend 20 minutes each Sunday planning for the week, it helps to just go into “auto drive” and follow it. Someone was to have dinner plans? Let me check my calendar, oh no busy! It also helps to hold you accountable by telling family and friends, they USUALLY will avoid you during your study sessions.

I also leave motivational quotations and sayings around, which puts a smile on my face when I least expect it!

Happy Studying!

If I had to do it all over again, I would have sat for the exam as soon as I was done with my undergrad (at least in the states where you can). Other than that, devote your spare time to the exam.

Best advice I would give is to take advantage of any 5 minute breaks you have at work, college or home and go over the ninja notes or audio. In time the accumulated effect definitely helps.

Best advice I can give is to try to finish all 4 sections before you start working full time. Working and studying at the same time is extremely tiring and draining.

My tip would be for interviewing, I would recommend that when interviewing, make sure that you are interviewing the person who is considering you for the position. Find out about the company, ask questions, see if you think the company/position would be a good fit for you. It's important that you like the company ask me as they like you.
