Ok I have been studying with Becker since October 11th. I do not plan on taking the FAR until Jan so I have a good amount of time. However, my current process is lecture, notes, read - more notes, then MCQ's and it's taking me FOREVER ( and this is just my first round of all of them)
I tend to spend a ton of time on my first round doing the MCQ's and am wondering if I should just abolish the whole reading and note taking process - since this takes me 4-5 hours and it certainly hasn't been showing to be effective when I do the MCQs.
I heard Jeff's podcast about basically just focusing on what the lecturer goes over - anything else can be learned during the MCQ's. And it would make sense since the exam is "a mile wide but an inch deep" (just love that quote). I have also heard from many that the BASICS are tested, not the itty gritty detail. So I'm thinking, why am I spending all this time rewriting the book and trying to memorize every minute detail???
I am thinking about starting a new process - read over my lecture notes (since I am live, I don't get a chance to do all the hw right after) only focus on the material in the lecture, review flashcards, do mcq's, make flashcards of the questions I got wrong, and redo them another time (without using the book or notes) before moving on.
Has anyone else been successful with this process?
