MCQs or Notes?

    I’m in my final days of studying, but I’m not sure the best way to allocate my time. I made it through all of the Becker MCQs twice (averaging 75%). I know that’s kind of low, so do I keep doing them over? Or do I spend my time making more FCs on my weak areas and studying those and my notes? Will it be too risky to bypass doing all the MCQs again?

    I'll tell you what I did in the same position (scoring around in the same range on MCQs just days before the test) for AUD. I stopped doing MCQs since I was losing confidence doing that, and just concentrated on learning the material. I reviewed notes, made up mnemonics, used other cram techniques, etc. It worked– I passed with room to spare. But that's me, and everyone is different, of course.

    AUD 84 (1/9/14-Wiley books/TB + free materials)
    FAR 83 (5/21/14-the above + NINJA 10 Pt Combo Lite)
    REG 84 (7/9/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC/Notes)
    BEC 76 (10/5/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC)

    The only MCQ I would focus on are the problems you answered incorrectly. Besides that, make sure you know the concepts. Don't neglect to review notes before your test. So my answer would be a mixture of both. Reading my notes right before the exam has always helped me to score a few extra points on the test. Focus on the subjects you are scoring lower on.

    Thanks everyone! I'm definitely trying to cram in some last minute concepts in. Only a couple days to go…
