Thanks for the test preparation wisdom and tips. Question.. If I have purchased a major study package for the four sections, like Becker or Roger, but found that I need more MCQs and Task Based Questions get solid in FAR. Where is a good place to for more mcq and sim questions w/o buying another CPA learning bundle? Thanks in advance 😊

Hi! When you say “3 weeks study period” do you mean excluding time for videos/lectures watched as well or is the 3 weeks including taking time for lectures? Isn’t there too many video lectures to complete in a few days?
@sugarcpaus2091
@sugarcpaus2091 3 ай бұрын
Hello. Thank you for your questions. 3 weeks does include the time for videos watched. I believe REG had about 18 hours of videos, so if you watch in double speed, it's 9 hours, so that's only a few days, as I also used the time on exercise bike :)

I am just starting my Reg preparation and have only 20 days to finish.

@sugarcpaus2091 6 ай бұрын
Thank you for your comments and questions. In terms of the forms, it does help to learn it especially for the simulations. The way I studied is really doing as many questions, and studying the ones I missed by reading text and taking notes, and reading my own notes. By doing this, you would be reading the most important parts of the texts multiple times. I have a video about memorization technique which talks about this, so that may help.
