NINJA Question –

Hey guys. I’m currently studying for FAR and I have basically zero background in financial accounting. I’ve viewed the Becker lectures and I’m going through Ninja Notes and MCQs right now. It’s been rather difficult to understand much of the material, so a lot of what I’m trying to do is learn through MCQs and reviewing the answer explanations.

I’m trending in the 20s right now, which doesn’t really bother me because most questions I come across get a “I have no idea” reaction. However, in my attempts to see some light at the end of the tunnel, I thought I’d pose the following question to those Ninjas out there who learned through MCQs:

How long, or how many questions, did it take before you started seeing real improvements in your understanding and trending score?

I’m pushing my test date back because I simply don’t have time to get myself where I want to be by the end of this month, so I’ll have awhile to chip away at this thing. Thanks!

I would put more time in with the study aspect first instead of just jumping to mcq's.

BEC - 77, 03/2015 (first try)
FAR - 79, 05/2015 (second try)
REG - 83, 12/2015 (first try)
AUD - 84, 03/2015 (first try)

I got 99 problems but the CPA ain't one.

“learning through the mcqs” is effective but not efficient. if you have other becker review materials i suggest using them and then doing mcqs to firm your grasp on the topic.
i don't know how the notes are organized but if they align to sections of mcq's i suggest you read those first then attempt mcqs. there are lots of resources on far topics on youtube so pull those to supplement. just make sure they cover current standards.
if you continue to use the mcqs just use the custom feature and do and do a section at a time. good luck!
