    When you are studying, how many MCQs can you do before your mind shuts down and says, “AWWWW HELL NO. NO MORE!!”

    I try to keep it to a minimum of 100 or less per exam sections. Your brain can only absorb so much info. Plus, because the CPA exam is about being able to apply the information, I try to understand the questions, and why I got the problems wrong and learn how to correctly solve them.

    AUD - 90
    BEC - 78
    FAR - 84
    REG - 87

    I usually tap out around 150 but, with FAR Monday, I did about 300 MCQ yesterday. Hope it was enough since I'm taking today off to recoup.

    FAR 8/18/2014--87
    AUD 10/18/2014--78
    REG 11/24/2014--76
    BEC 2/28/2015--76

    Not more than 100. I spend my time understanding why the answer is correct or incorrect. Quality, not quantity…

    I only did Wiley TB MCQs over the past 12 days and ended up doing a total of 1081. Probably 20-30 repeats in there. So average about 90 MCQ a day and I'm spent. I take a long time to make sure I understand everything. Take breaks to do something different like read over notes/flash cards/watch a video on something I need more elaboration on/read my intermediate textbook/advanced textbook/Wiley book.. Did all 61 sims in the test bank.. they were too easy.. I wish they were more comprehensive because I know CPA exam will be harder :/

    FAR - 89 (8/19/14) Wiley TB, Wiley Book, Books from School, Ninja Audio/Notes
    AUD - 92 (10/14/14) Wiley TB, Wiley Book, Ninja Audio
    BEC - 82 (5/8/15) Mostly Ninja MCQ, sprinkles of Becker lectures and Ninja Audio
    REG - (8/14/15)

    Honestly, I believe anything more than 90 is too much and inefficient.

    I keep it around 60-80 mcq's per day and write notes for each question I did, explaining the main concept of that question. Then I go back and redo the MCQ's that I just did (should get a 100%). Then right before I sleep, I review the ones I did yesterday and today. My entire study cycle is 4 hours.

    I really believe that you need to understand ALL the MCQ's you did and make sure that your brain is exposed to it several times before you move on to more MCQ's. I like to think its analogous to working out at a gym. You are not going to do 30+ different weight lifting exercises, 1 rep each, that use difference muscles because its not enough to make a difference. Rather, its better to focus on 10 difference exercises, 3 reps each and make sure you really get a good work out.

    I also believe reviewing RIGHT BEFORE you sleep is essential. Supposedly, sleep is what consolidates memory (converts short term memory to long term) to long term, and thus, will reduce your need to ‘cram' a couple days before the test. Alternatively, if more of the material is in your long term memory, you will have more space/room in your working memory to ‘cram' other more important concepts. If you go to sleep with stuff you just learned, you have a much higher chance of consolidating it to long term/ medium term memory.

    Good god.

    I don't think I could bear to do much more than 300 per test much less per day.

    Generally somewhere between 60 and 80. I tried doing the MCQs for MCQs sake on my first try of FAR and I didn't work out too well for me. I get to see how well the new system works here in 8 days.

    Using Ninja MCQ, NINJA Notes, Audio, Flashcards and BLITZ, and 2014 Wiley Text

    FAR - (61,63)
    AUD - (68)

    For FAR, it was definitely less than 100 a day. Way too many calaculations and complex questions to do more than that and understand it all. For AUD, I can do over 200 a day just because of the simplicity of the questions.

    If you gave me economic BEC questions, I could hit 700-800 a day…

    Did 50 in 14 minutes…
