I managed to study a bit more this week than I have so far. There’s still work to be done, but there’s a home football game this weekend and a lot of group projects due next week, so it’ll take a lot of motivation to keep increasing the hours!

I also made a little chart that shows the breakdown of what percentage of my time I spend on the different parts of the study process.

The process:

1. Pre-reading the chapter in Roger’s CPA Review book to get an idea of what I’m getting into!

2. Watching the Roger CPA videos related to that chapter, and marking up the chapter as I follow along.

3. Going back over the material and making notecards.

4. Doing the multiple choice problems in the Wiley CPA review book, one at a time, reading the answer explanation after each. Later I will go back and do the problems up to speed, or do the problems on the software that came with my Roger study kit.

This chart is a quick visual of how much time is spent on each. It’s a little skewed right now, because I’ve watched most of the videos for Reg-2, but I haven’t finished making the notecards yet. I suspect notecards and problem-solving will have a big jump after I get through that!
