I know it’s the wrong forum, but would someone kindly point to the thread of talking about the NINJA method?

Sorta confused. But from what I gathered, you watch all the lectures videos and do all the video MCQs/ Sims and work through assigned MCQs questions and sims BUT the rest of the Sims and MCQs you would wait until AFTER finishing all the lecture videos, correct? I assume this is done to keep the information as fresh as possible? As you won’t take as long to get through the lecture videos, correct?

Would anyone kindly give me advice on my over studying habits. I tend to go overboard with notes and get stuck on a lecture video if I don’t understand a certain topic. Anyone know how to fix this?

I think the key with NINJA – and in study material for that matter – is to figure out what fits YOU the best. My first exam was FAR which I took last month. I work in public accounting and listened to everyone else when they said they passed by just doing MCQ and studying the answers, right or wrong. So I tried that and I realized I was not learning anything and I did not really understand the underlying concepts. (I have a bach and masters in acct. Been 4 yrs since I finished my masters.)

Then I switched to the NINJA notes. Copying page by page onto a legal pad. That's when I felt like a copy machine. I was simply looking at it and writing. Never passed through my memory.

Needless to say, after about a month of trial and error and relearning how I study, I went ahead and took the FAR exam and bombed it. Now I know what fits me and how to study. I printed off the entire NINJA AUD book and I am reading every dang page and making notes. Then I am taking MCQ for only that chapter. Where I was making 40-60s on MCQ, now I am in 80s-90s.

It's frustrating and cost me some time and money since I bombed FAR but I feel like it actually helped me, if that makes sense. Good luck.
