Putting in 5-6 hours is impressive and with that kind of work rate it's more than doable/passable. You have people here who cram and sit the 4 parts in one window and are successful but as you say everyone is different. Even though I don't have the time (with the exception for Sundays), I'm still trying to figure out how to study for more than 3 hours at a time. I could sit down and do advanced calculus problems all day but I don't have the stamina nor will power to study for that long. I hope you do well next week and return to relay your general experience.

Thanks for the support bullandre...One thing I really enjoy about this forum is the fact that everyone here seems to be genuinely supportive of one another!

I agree with you in the fact that it is very difficult to study for more than a few hours at a time.  I will typically only study for 2 or so hours in a sitting with multiple sittings a day.  In the mornings I can normally squeeze in 2-3 hours and the same with the evening.  The difference is whether or not I work during the day. 

What are you using to study?  Becker's structure makes it much easier for me to sit down and grind out problems/watch lectures.  I will set a goal typically for each day, and even more detailed, each study slot. 

With all of that being said, I also think it is extremely important to GET OUT from time to time.  After about three hours of studying I find myself staring at the wall instead of the book.  I've gotten pretty good at self-diagnosis on my study ability!  On days where I have had the most success studying (8 or so hours) I tend to study for a few hours, go on an hour or so bike ride, study for a few more hours, go eat dinner with friends/family, get a huge cup of coffe and come home to study for a few more hours!

I am already through Ch 1 and Ch 2.  So I have 16 days for 5 chapters.  I am hoping it takes around 2 days to do each chapter then I will have 5 or 6 days to review all my notes and hit up the areas I have the most trouble with.

Quick question: Do you work in tax and, generally, how much experience you have in tax?
