I am struggling with taking notes. I like to take them, but i don't review them. I think writing them down help me in my learning process, but even if I try it is difficult to go over them. Like they feel time consuming. I am starting to wonder if just doing MCQ and keeping taking notes, is a right approach for me. Has anyone face a similar situation, where you take notes but you don't review them later? TiA

Everyone learns differently.
There is no one size fits all answer to this.

However, same. I retain by writing, so taking notes helps me, and I NEVER look at them again.
Followed up my MCQ.
And for weak areas, a lecture and retaking of notes before more MCQ.

You got this!

Same here. I take notes for retention but never go back to review. If it’s worked for you so far, keep it up. You’re learning more than you think.

I am the same way. What I do is try to write my notes down in Quizlet, on car rides or something you can download the app and you can listen to your notes. I don’t review them as much as I do listen

Additional Posts in Beat the CPA

California peeps. I have a feeling I failed FAR, which is my last exam, but my score isn’t released until May 11. Can I submit the reapplication with the CA Board of Accountancy to speed up the retake and NTS process in case I failed? Or do I need to get my exam score first? I need to pass by mid June, else my REG score expires, hence the rush to resubmit the re-application.

The extension would really help me, but I’m not sure what more to tell them in my email than the fact that I couldn’t sit for the exams this Spring/Summer due to test centers closing in NYC.
