Every time I do a lecture and do the MCQ I get so discouraged because I feel like the MCQ are so different from the lectures. Is this anyone else’s problem? I’m using Becker and also supplementing with Universal because I’m more of a visual person and their lectures help me more, but I almost feel like I should just study the MCQ’s and not waste time on the lectures/reading. Is this anyone else’s problem?Don’t get me wrong I obviously do see questions from the lecture, but not all.

Don’t even waste your time with the lectures. It’s just a repeat of the book. Take a quick read of the book, take your notes and then continue on.

That’s why I did MCQs and read. I only did lectures for areas that I had difficulty with after reading and doing MCQs. Or if I was passively studying while I was cooking or something, I would listen to lectures then too.

I saw the lectures at a faster pace, didn't take any notes, and then do MCQs and i will take notes in this part of the process.

I use Becker and universal as well. I like listening to the MCQ bc he drills same points every time basically

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting?

Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.
