NINJA Question –

When I studied for BEC, I started out doing random mcq sessions. However, this time around for AUD, I started on random and quickly switched to custom. It may be me, but I feel that my study efforts seem more efficient and possibly effective as I focus on one section at a time. I plan to do the custom sessions until I hit the adaptive phase, which also seems to be coming quicker (in my head I know). Has anyone had success with this study option? Or should I be forcing myself to jump back in forth between the sections, randomly, like the true test environment?

Do NOT quit! There's more in you and if you quit you'll never see it. Show you that you can do it.

I'm tired of operating in fear and mediocrity. It's time to try. It's time to do. It's time to go.

Can't really answer this because I struggle with this as well. On one hand, its good to go in order, so your random sessions will be a little easier, but you put yourself at risk for forgetting earlier chapters. On the other hand its also good to go random to assess and identify your weakness, and then attack your weakness like theres no tomorrow, but nothing is more defeating than missing a streak of questions that you are blindly trying to answer.

Exactly! I was doing so well and then all of a sudden I did a session of 20 on a section that killed me. I said, oh wow…I need to really study this section again. So, while it sucked getting them wrong…it made me feel a lot better knowing that I need to work on this section a lot more.

I like to do 100-200 mcq all over the map then clean up on difficult areas.

AUD - 77
BEC - 81
FAR - 77
REG - 81

REG - 1. Becker only - fail (forgot to study depr - oops); 2. Becker only - Pass
FAR - 1. Becker only - fail; 2. added Ninja Notes and MCQ - Pass
AUD - 1. Becker videos; Ninja Notes, Audio, MCQ, Becker Notes - Pass
BEC - 1. Ninja Notes, Audio, MCQ, Becker Notes - Pass

I would do both but in a particular way. For my longer study sessions either before or after work I would focus on going through each section, 1 by 1. Then everyday for lunch I would do a custom 20-30 over the sections I had already completed.
The goal was always 100-120 questions a day.
So for example for FAR. On Day 1 do sections A, B, and C. Day 2 do sections D, E, F, G, H, I, and J as the main studying and a 20-30 random MCQ on sections A-I.
Once through every section once either go back and redo sections you bombed the first time or do random sets.

Done! 9 tests over 16 months. Failed first 3 with Becker. Passed 4 of next 6 with Ninja MCQ.

FAR: 39,59,TBD
BEC: 74,79
AUD: 77
REG: September
