    Next week I start my 8 weeks of 20hrs/week for FAR. I am using Roger, Wiley and NINJA audio. Here is my plan. If anyone has some little details to add that helped them, I would really appreciate it. I am really motivated(right now) and am hopeful this will work. Haven’t taken FAR in almost 2 years….

    Early – Study at work before everyone else gets to office

    Lunch – study in my office

    Late – Library right after dinner

    Weekends – library

    As for the material I plan on reading Roger chapter, making notes, listening to NINJA and doing Wiley MC after each section. Review with notes, and more MC.

    Let the countdown begin!

    Sounds like a good plan!

    The key is to review old material which you will be doing. You may feel like you know the material as you're doing the MCQ, but will you remember how to do it a few weeks later? Repetition is they key.

    Good luck!

    Don't get overwhelmed. FAR is a ton of material. You don't have to ‘get it' the first time through. Don't waste too much time bogged down on one topic. Hit the highlights and move on. Come back to it again later and pick up a few more details. It will start falling together during the rest of your time studying.
