How did you or how are you studying for BEC? & which study material do you use?

I use Becker and supplement with Universal. I was waking up around 4am and studying for 2 hours (watching the lecture/annotating the book) then answering mcqs. I’ve been on and off with note taking because I can’t tell if it’s helping.

I am studying for BEC now with onky Becker. I just started but I was thinking about getting a suplement as well. Do you like universal?? Also, since you do both how do you do your study sessions with two courses? I hope that makes sense.
