Joshua is a weekly NINJA CPA Blogger.

A week from today, I will sit for FAR again after coming out last go around with a 74. This go around I tried to change up my studying some.

Instead of just doing a variety of all Wiley MCQs, I focused first on topics that I was not as comfortable with at the start and end of each study session. I have learned that you remember most what you look at right when you begin to study and right before you end.

With that said I also took more breaks after a shorter period of time in between study sessions instead of studying for long periods at a time and taking 30 minute breaks in between. I really do think this has improved my memory of topics. At work I took time aside to listen to my NINJA Audio and on any long trips in the car for travel I would listen as well.

I am feeling good about the upcoming exam, just need to make sure I look over some example simulations just to better my feel. Good luck to everyone studying! Remember there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Stay focused, determined, and dedicated!
