The key is to make your own notes from Becker😉

Yea agreed with PwC 1, reading other people’s notes doesn’t help. making your own notes helps your memorize better. But what helped me was doing lots of multiple choices like a shit tone and I honestly didn’t even made that many notes

The annotated notes are sufficient if you have the Becker course! Additionally, the main benefit of notes are the associations you make while creating them. I would focus more on HOW you review rather than what you use to review, this is what has helped me!

How should we review? I’m in the same boat. In the review phase and bombing mcqs like there’s no tomorrow. Also forgot everything that I studied earlier 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Review by taking a mock or two, and then doing targeting McQ review using the unlimited practices tests. After you do 1 or 2 mocks, then go through ALL the mcq again, let's say 2-3 chapters a day if studying full-time. People I talked with scored high on their mocks once they did this, the more you do the full McQ the higher your chance of passing it seems. I'm doing the same currently but for audit.

I am in a small 10 person firm, 3 partners, big midwest city. All of us are wfh and will continue likely through at least 1/2 of 2021. Partner 2 said in june that P2 was loving wfh, which I am fine with. Yesterday P2 said P2 wants to move in 2 years to the southeast. I don’t feel ok with this - am I wrong? Is it realistic P2 continues P2’s admin responsibilities long distance when we are back in the office? Not sure if I am just reacting to change badly.

Taking BEC with 20 days of studying (2 days a chapter, 7 days review). Is there anything I should look out for? I've heard the written portion is easy if you know the buzzwords and write it similar to a formal email. What were some curve balls/things you did that helped you on the exam? Thank you!
