NINJA Question –
I figured I could share my story on what I did to pass regulation with Ninja materials.
Since I work full time with long hours (busy time), there are many days I could not study physically and mentally, so I substituted many off days with Ninja Blitz. I strongly encourage people to use Ninja Blitz especially if you drive or feels exhausted after work!
Study method: Listen Ninja blitz whenever I can, or do ninja MCQ.
Materials: Ninja MCQ + Ninja Blitz + Ninja Audio (not much of a help) + Ninja Book (read only few pages. Did not have time to read book)
This was retake (August, 68) but most of it was out of my head, so I constantly listened to Ninja Blitz to refresh my memory. On off days, I tried to listen to Ninja Blitz on the topics.
I did not solve any simulation. I read over the answer with description.
