    Will Ninja’s notes help me with revising summarized material on the final day before the exam?

    What JoMarie said!!! The audio for REG is also WONDERFUL! I had a 4 hour drive to the testing center in April and I listened to Jeff all the way down there. The next day on the first exam of the day, I changed one question, because I heard Jeff's voice in my head telling me the rule. I don't know if he has the audio for AUD ready yet but if he does, BUY IT!!

    I've been listening to Jeff's FAR audio everyday to and from work. When I work some MCQs I hear Jeff's voice in my head and get the question right. I'm really looking forward to having this chapter of my life behind me, once and for all!!!

    Do the notes contain mnemonics?

    He has them in REG and FAR so I can only assume that he has them for AUD as well. He also has little memory tricks that really work! I almost got a question wrong on REG but I heard Jeff's voice in my head with his little memory trick and I know that I got at least one question right!

    For those who have purchased the notes, do you rewrite them or you just study straight from them?

    Titine, I rewrote them. As of tonight, I finished rewriting all of the FAR notes. This is the beginning of my FAR study process (well, the beginning of my second attempt to pass it). I plan to work MCQs like a fiend over the next several weeks, re-read the ninja notes once a week, and rewrite the sections I'm still shaky on in the week leading up to the exam. I don't know about you, but writing something makes me focus on every word in a way that reading doesn't.

    REG- 53, 91
    BEC- 88
    FAR- 62, 85
    AUD- 85

    Ethics- 93

    @titine

    I have the Ninja Notes for BEC, REG and FAR. For BEC I used Becker and the Notes. I would listen to Becker and write my own notes. When I went back to do MCQ I would thoroughly read my notes and the Ninja notes. As I did MCQ, I would write little ‘Factoids' in the Ninja Notes. Towards the end I started just using the Ninja Notes. They work amazingly. I don't really recommend re-writing them. I started to do that on REG but I stopped. I already had my personal notes and my Ninja Notes and the ‘factoids' from the MCQ. I think spending my time doing MCQ has been more beneficial than rewriting something for a second or third time. Also, as you do the MCQ's, I found it helpful to treat it as an open book test. It takes longer but I felt the information has been sticking in my head better.
