Avoid marathon sessions because your ability to retain information diminishes after 90 minutes. I started by studying 3 hours a day after work, but realized I was more successful studying; an hour before work + 45 minutes during lunch + 1 to 1.5 hours after work

Wow this might be good advice

Just pick one and do thousands of MCQs. Both are high enough quality that if you spend 3 hours every day on it for a month or two per exam you’ll be fine

So glad i passed the old cpa exam in 1991. Good old #2 pencil. Bad part...exam give 2x per year and 3 month wait for results

Becker was better for me, but I agree with the comment above about doing 1000s of multiple choice questions. Honestly I would start with just doing the MCQs and do those throughout, you don't need to read everything or hear all the lectures to start testing yourself and that's how youll learn.

Becker gives 14 days free trial. You can probably test it.

Either one and then pay for Ninja the month before and of your exam to hammer MCQs

Ninja!

Follow the Becker plan to the nth degree.

It's been a challenging year for me, including a rejection from GSAP. This week, I got into my top choice MBA program - and an M7 to boot! Just goes to show that sometimes Deloitte's decisions can be misaligned to the greater world.
I hope that Deloitte gives me the chance to be a good brand ambassador - but at the point, it's up to the firm if I even consider coming back :)
