Trying to fit in studying for the CPA exam around has been tough. When you have a homework assignment due the following day, CPA exam prep gets pushed back again and again, because it doesn’t have a due date.

This week I put some effort into finding a free hour earlier in the day to review for Regulation, and then reserve the later hours for doing my homework. If I wait until I have free time instead of just making some, studying never gets done.

I plan to spend labor day weekend trying to get on track. I just finished up the first section of Roger’s CPA Review plan, with 5 more sections to go. The first section took me 4 weeks to get through, but I only have about 8 more weeks to get through the other 5 sections.

Here is a little visual of how I spent the last 4 weeks:

As you can see, things really dropped off inWeek 3. This was the second week of classes, and I was still figuring out when I have free time (never) and recovering from a cold.

Week 4 is this past week, when I put more effort into squeezing studying in. I still only got 6.5 hours in, so my goal this weekend is to bring my average hours per week up as much as possible, since my average week from now on will probably look most like Week 4.
