Let’s have it! What are the weirdest places you have studied in order to pass these exams? My favorite is with an ipad in the pool. I have done questions on the treadmill with a nifty stand my hubby built for me, but that is way more difficult with Far because of all the calcs. Also, let’s just say- I carry my ipad or computer with me everywhere. No place is safe from my exam study torture. lmao

What about you guys?

Wow i was super obsessed with studying. I would feel guilty taking a timeout to go have a drink so i finally decided that i would do some mcq's on my phone while sitting at the bar and i felt so much better, it was a best of both worlds moment. And yes i have done the study on the treadmill thing as well. Hey gotta do whatcha gotta do.

I go into our master bedroom closet. There's a nice little blanket in there for me and snacks. I can sing along with the laptop or read my questions in silence.

I'm tired of operating in fear and mediocrity. It's time to try. It's time to do. It's time to go.

I've basically studied everywhere imaginable. On the plane ride on the way to my daughter's first trip to Disney World. In the doctor's office waiting room (entire book and everything, taking notes). Lunch break at work. At the dinner table on Christmas Eve (my family wasn't too thrilled about this one). Coffee shops, libraries, in a park. On long car rides (as a passenger, obviously).

Basically, I study whenever and wherever I have an extra few minutes.

FAR - 51, 76!!!!!!!

I studied for FAR while I was in NYC. I used to take the subway to Penn Station and then take a train out to Jersey (or the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) out East) and study the whole way there and back lol.

Planes, trains, cars…whenever time will be consumed and I can take advantage of it. Plane is the best, headphones and forget about the world.

AUD: 49, next 4/2016

I prefer to sit in bed and study, but my husband says I can't learn anything that way so I have to sit at the kitchen table or the desk.
I study at work all the time, I have studied on planes, car rides, at the dr (with my entire book), girl scout meetings; you name it haha!
