What’s your best tip for studying for exams? I’ve done Becker unlimited for my last two but I didn’t pass either. I struggle with exams and idk if I need to focus more on flashcards or if there’s another trick you suggest?

My best tip is to go all in. Think of it as a short term sacrifice. Increase your study hours. Make sure you’re actually understanding the concepts as opposed to going through the motions. How much time are you giving yourself to prepare for each test?

I wouldn’t spend a ton of time on flash cards. I’d crush MCQs as much as possible and do 1-2 SIMS everyday, even if it’s just watching the problem solver video.

Also search Reddit for the most tested/important topics for whichever exam you’re studying for. There’s a lot of topics tested more heavily than others and it’ll be more useful to spend the most time understanding those areas.

You really should be living and breathing this exam. Passing takes giving it everything if you are someone who struggles with exams, like me. I feel like the 100 hour study estimate is way below what you should be doing to feel comfortable going in
