After trial and errors, I've found that :
read a section
go straight to MCQs, do them once
read another section (i usually stick to 30 pages, if the sections are small)
do more MCQs on those sections you read
then watch the lectures
re-do the questions you got wrong.
I've been trying this method this week and I like it, i move through the material a lot faster…I wish someone would've told me that 5 months ago when I started studying 🙂
I WAS doing:
watching lectures
reading each chapter/then started to read per section instead of whole book at once
do the respective mcq's as many times until i got them right
do the sims
this method would take FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!
when you do your review, your material will sink in a bit better…at least for me it did…. so going through it the first time a LITTLE quicker wont hurt.

I definitely wish I was one of those people who got all 4 exams done in 4 months, but unfortunately LIFE (being a newlywed, stress, adjusting to newlywed life and cpa exam study life, as well as starting a job with a Big4 which I am very happy about) got in the way, just happy that I am passing period!!
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!
