I'm using the Wiley book and the Wiley online subscription for MCQs and Sims.  I just don't absorb well by reading either, but working the MCQs really helps me to remember the concepts plus it keeps my attention, which reading doesn't.  I also bought the Wiley Focus Notes.  I looked at those first, and at first I thought it was a waste of money, but after reading the text, I see how the notes fit in.  If I had to do memorizing, it was the stuff in the Focus Notes that helped due to the concise format.

I haven't taken any exams yet, and I just started studying, so I'm no authority.  But I appreciate reading other people's methods, so I hope this helps by offering ideas!

For me, the toughest chapters were Leases and Pensions. I
had to review them on the day of the exam, one more time. I
also had a low score on practice tests when it came to
Fixed Assets and Investments.

I'm on the same boat as you are Life...

I studied for 4 weeks now and I went through whole book.
When I did MCQs again for ch2-5...I got only 70% right and
I did those MCQs twice already!!!

Key is review review and review. What I do is I circle
questions that I had trouble with and go over those circled
questions at least twice a week to retain the info.

Good luck to yall!!!!
