Hi etcetera!
This is what I did.
I started out rereading my entire Gleim book. I caught concepts that I had missed before and taking few notes on things that I would keep tripping up on, those key fact nuggets. At the end of each chapter in Gleim is 5 Sim problems and MCQs. I completed every single one in the entire book. After that, I started to drill MCQs. I bought the NINJA MCQ (those questions are more similar to the exam than others I have seen). I started doing random questions so I would get questions from all topics. That is how the exam will be so I wanted to be prepared to get thrown from calculating a bond to answering a government/NFP question. After a few days of this you pretty much know what your weak areas are. From there I focused on learning those, bonds, EPS, leases, SCF, etc. Rereading those chapters if neccessary, going to a different test bank to answer questions on those particular topics to get more variety. Also I started making FLASHCARDS. I think this is what really helped me out this time. I probably ended up with 75 flashcards that I went over EVERYDAY. These included, journal entries, government/NFP tidbits, all areas, but they were only from topics I kept getting confused and not understanding completely. Eventually when it came to a bond question I was able to picture or write out the journal entry and get the question correct. In my last few days of studying I just did SIMS (including NINJA Sims) on my weak areas, and random MCQs. Read my fact nugget notes every night.
From my first exam to my second the questions were completely and totally different, so have an understanding of everything. KNOW GOV/NFP and IFRS. Know how to search the AL. I know I missed my first Research due to not having a good knowledge of how to search through it. So I got the 6 months free access through AICPA and practiced. I know I got the Research question on my last exam right.
Buckle down and study. I only took one day off the entire month I studied and that was because it was my birthday. I didn't go out on weekends or anything.
Try a number of different studying habits and you will find out what works best for you. That is what I focused on this time is figuring out how I learn best.
Good Luck and you can pass!
