Basically, once I started working full-time, I didn’t have 5-6 hours a day to leisurely sit and study anymore.
So, I did what I thought was the “80/20” of studying to get the best results in the shortest amount of time, and it ended up paying off.
(Sidenote: This is very strategy-based. It’s something that review courses don’t teach you, but your strategy… such as how you approach the whole process is just as crucial as learning the material itself. So much so that the AICPA has started doing webinars on the “importance of having a strategy” when it comes to studying for and passing the CPA exams.)[/text_block]
