Pro tip: don’t start on REG during your busy season

likesmart

Seconded. I attempted that my first year and about two weeks in I was like nope. Even with taking off busy season, I passed all four in about a year. Sat my first exam July, the second January-before busy season started (had to stop for awhile the previous fall b/c work was so busy), the third in July, the last in August.

I planned out my studying in two week chunks and made sure to make time for a day off in between to recharge. I found that having a day off to look forward to kept me motivated and having bite sized chunks of studying each day prevented it from feeling overwhelming. Which exam are you studying for right now?

I have all 4 parts and am starting with BEC. I’m hoping to get this done this month or early August. Then I’ll start on REG during tax season.
