    How are you guys studying MCQs, taking notes on wrong answers? just doing a lot of the questions without writing notes? Redoing the wrong MCQs again until you get it right? I am completely lost to how I am supposed to study on the MCQs, can you guys give me some tips on how you guys studied on MCQs and passed the test?

    Have not taken any of the sections yet, feeling overwhelmed with just chapter 2 of Becker

    If you fail, try harder.

    My approach, using Wiley books only, was first to make notes from the MCQ's, then supplementing it with the chapter notes, ending up with about 30 pages per section. Sounds like a lot of work, but almost all MCQ's can be condensed into one simple fact or idea. For example, on a calculation problem about property taxes, I would ignore the calculation and just write “back taxes paid deductible if current owner; added to basis if new owner.”

    Just pounding MCQ's until you memorize the questions and answers is definitely a flawed approach imo. Wiley does a good job in making sure every MCQ is unique and contains something important, but inevitably there will be gaps.
