Hi Meghan.
It all depends on an individuals study habits. I personally went through all the lectures first and now I am in MCQ mode (exam scheduled for early December). I know there are a lot of topics I still need to thoroughly understand. Therefore FAR may be the one part that MCQ should be done along the entire way- too much to memorize without consistently being reinforced.
Advice – download the free study notes for Ninja (linked under study tools). Review what you are getting into before buying. I used Scout for Audit and REG (my main review course has been Roger). I found the MCQ very helpful for these two exams. BEC I used Roger as a stand alone and noticed the difference (could also be BEC was my very first attempt but overall I still felt Ninja was the best overall to what to expect on exam day).
Good Luck and always remember there are others out there who feel your pain 🙂
BEC - Passed
REG - Passed
AUD - Passed
FAR - Passed
