So, I’m working on my notecards for Chapter 3 of Roger’s CPA Review course. I’m about halfway through the initial review!

Studying slowed down a bit this weekend, as finals are approaching more rapidly than my Audit exam!

Last night I was busily working on a group project on my laptop, when I turned around to see my dog surrounded by bits of paper. My note ! And a little corner of my Roger study book. Luckily, I write in waterproof (and slobber-proof) ink, so the damage was limited.

What’s your study strategy?

If you’ve been reading my posts about how much time I spend on each stage of studying, you know that notecards are a big part of my process.

Making notecards while I study for the CPA exam forces me to go over each chapter in close detail. It’s like taking notes, only because it’s in notecard form, I can use them as flashcards to study from later.

If you are short on study time, instead of making your own review cards, you can get some Wiley FocusNotes from Roger CPA Review. These look pretty different from my ntoecards, but are probably a more effective way to narrow down the important information. My notecards don’t really distinguish between topics that will be a big part of the exam and topics that will maybe show up in one question.

Has anyone used these to study from that can tell us a little more about them? I only have 2 weeks before REG, but I might order some to help me study for AUD and BEC.
