NINJA Question –

First off I have to say that I love Ninja Materials. I started with Wiley and hated them. I used them solely and failed my first two exams. I then switched to Ninja and passed BEC and REG. Unfortunately I failed FAR and AUD again and now I am trying to assess my study METHOD. I am currently studying to retake FAR December 9th. I thought, having used Ninja last time and failed, I would switch back to Wiley for FAR. Well I can’t do it. Wiley is horrible still. I can’t take their material. They feel like they are full of fluff and everything takes way to long to get to the point. I want to switch back to my Ninja, but my problem is I need a schedule. I need to know what section of the book to read, what audio to listen to, what videos to watch, and what MCQs to correlate without having to spend hours trying to sift through it all to find it. Does anyone know of a template or schedule that takes all the Ninja material and organizes it? Any other suggestions would be great.

I HAVE a life now.

AUD - Passed

BEC - Passed

FAR - Passed

REG - Passed

BEC: 7/31/16 (Awaiting Results)
AUD: 9/8/16
REG: 10/22/16
FAR: 12/3/16

While I don't have an answer to the specific question you're asking, I do have maybe a different method for you. First, let me say that I am in the exact boat you are – I previously purchased Wiley and hated them and now rely on Ninja to help me. I switched up my study method this summer and FINALLY passed AUD and FAR. Here's what I did, which may work for you since you are doing a retake:

Hammer Ninja MCQs. Like, just do those exclusively. Get out of the assessment phase and then do some more questions. After awhile, you'll really begin to see where your weak areas are. Then you can go back and read/watch videos on those areas. Hammer MCQs there until you're comfortable. I did go back to the Wiley test bank for this part just to get a little variation on the weak areas.

I listen to the audio during all of this in the car to maybe help on some topics. I take notes on questions I get wrong that I maybe still don't understand. Really focus on the explanations, for both right and wrong answers, just to make sure you understand the reasoning. I will look at the Ninja notes when I have downtime but not time to answer questions.

Good luck!
