Hi all,
Happy New Years!
I hope everyone had a festive holiday season. I also hope that everyone was able to get their studying in, but also found time to take a break and enjoy.
I actually ended up canceling my Regulation exam. When I originally signed up for the exam, I thought that I could take all four parts before I got really busy at work. (I would never recommend scheduling all four so close together unless you know you will have time to study. It's much better to dedicate the time and pass each section rather than try to rush and get all four finished)
Because I canceled my Regulation exam, I found more time to study for Audit. At this point, I have gone through three lectures in the Becker book, and have taken note of all the items we need to memorize, and some of the important lists. This is the section that will probably be the hardest for me. There don't seem to be formulas and calculations, so memorizing and applying formulas won't help me. My goal is to memorize the ideas emphasized in the Becker book, and try to understand the transactions cycles as best as possible. If you have a better approach, please let me know.
I'm flying to my National Training today, so I hope that on the plane, I can get through one more lecture. With the test on the 23rd, I want to leave one more lecture and nothing but review questions for my last weekend before the test.
I hope to have started the fifth lecture before next weekend, as studying will be really hard if the Eagles win today. As much as I try, it is hard to keep three hours of sports out of my schedule for studying. Fortunately, I had this experience during the Phillies playoff run, and the games served as a break to help material sink in. I hope that the results are the same this time (both gaining an understanding of the material, and the Eagles winning).
Let me know how studying is going for everyone out there.
- Kunal
