Yup, it was extremely frustrating. He doesn't seem to understand that the point of highlighting is to make the most important few lines or formulas per page stand out. Highlighting an entire page is useless…

Overall, even though I used Becker and passed, I feel they have way too many convoluted passages. The goal is to pass the exam, so they should just have short and easy to remember notes. If they're going to include every last bit of information, written in full and proper sentences, then he should have us highlighting just the most important information (meaning a couple lines per page).

If I had a nickle every time he said “again”

I have basically just started highlighting what he says to underscore, and I find I can usually anticipate what that will be before he says it.

In fairness, Becker's EBook is really good. It contains all the ingredients and nutrients (showing all the highlights, red underlines, keywords, etc.) candidates need for a complete meal in a day.

So if it's not Peter Olinto lecturing the chapter, we'd be better off DITCHING THE VIDEO.
Just read the EBook to understand the topic, write our own notes, and work on all the HWs.

I don't watch his videos because of this. Honestly I am better off doing multiple choice questions six weeks straight. I'm pretty competent in the theory so I dont care.

This is why people should buy Roger. The videos are INFINITELY better.

“Alright folks, you're now ready to do some more multiple choice questions. Good luck!”

(And then when you get back from working on the MCQs)
–
“Welcome back! I hope you did really well on those questions.”

It's the same speech every. single. time.

Step 1: Purchase Becker books
Step 2: Dip entire book in yellow highlighter fluid

I lost it when he had us highlighting the chapter titles.

I like listening to Olinto. Cannot stand Gearty. I tried Roger before Becker and could not take him either. He's too high-strung for my taste. Just a little too over the top for me. Just my 2 cents.

Tim Gearty is annoying as all hell, but his lessons stick with you. There is value in his repetition.

“BAH BAH”

It's spelled BAE, Tim…. It's pronounced “Bay.”

On second thought, it makes me a little uncomfortable when I think of Tim pronouncing it like “BayBay.” Like “I need an adult” type of uncomfortable.
