Hey ninjas,

It has been since last June that I have studied for the CPA exam due to a lot of life changes. Anyhow, I am going to get back at it and I have set a good study schedule for myself to get to about 20 hours a week. I use CPA Excel and ninja materials, and I have studied extensively FAR, BEC, and AUD in the past, so I am familiar with the material.

My question is this. Does anyone have a good layout, or syllabus of the topics that should be studied for each section, FAR primarily? I basically want to create a list of topics/areas top to bottom so that I can detail what areas I should focus on in each week so that I can plan what I will work on in advance. I am not a big fan of CPA excels layout, so I may have to create my own if I cant find any templates to use.

I have never planned out study time in advance before, but I also have a history of failing the CPA exam, so I want to make changes to help keep me on task and on schedule so hopefully I can pass in 2018.

Does anyone else do this and what has worked for you?
