Hi, discussing the SFCPA process more specifically is encouraging and will hopefully be helpful! Just to ensure my understanding, the 5 “difference-maker” study strategies are:
1. Flashcards
2. Rightly “Planting the seeds”
3. Comprehending concepts/NOT just memorizing answers
4. Weekend study
5. Mini-sessions
Please comment anything I missed!

Thanks for everything guys!

Thank you guys for this video! It was the missing link I needed when it came to how many MCQs to focus on when I begin a new section. I have to say that is exactly what I did this morning - I started Section 1.7 “Notes to the Financial Statements” from Roger/UWorld and I skimmed though the book pages and worked on 15 brand new MCQs (which has 40MCQs) and I learned so much more by going through each new MCQ and trying my best guess (which I got right since a lot of those questions were a bit of common sense) and understanding it after I got the answers. I went back to rework the ones I got wrong since I now understood it and I’m not stressed out about not watching the 3-4 lectures on this Section and I just expedited my progress. I will keep working on the other 40 MCQs through my re-review and weekends! Again, thank you because I was a bit confused by that process!

Thank you for remind us about key points. After failing many times and finally passing 2 exams, I made all mistakes you mentioned above.

Logan now has the cadence and tone of Nate 😂

[@Dennyben76]

In the case of "Planting the Seeds", if a section has 96 MCQs, do we go through each one before hearing the lectures or reading the book?
