Thanks for posting this. This is exactly what I had been doing up until last week and it's exactly why I was moving SO slowly through the material. I've started just highlighting and taking notes in the margins to get through the material more quickly. Hopefully that will give me more time to focus on the M/C.

I agree...it is the worst!! I was doing the same thing as well. I am considering making some old fashioned note cards out of index cards for definitions that I know that I am going to need to know and focus my efforts on mc's

This might sound crazy but here goes.  Maybe this is due to my age (older than average exam taker).  For me, HAND-WRITING the stuff really burns it into my brain.  Simply re-typing for me is rote and teaches me nothing.  So I spent many many hours hand-copying definitions onto reams of notebook paper.  That was one of my memorization techniques that really helped me pass the other three sections, and it was surprisingly useful in BEC too, since a bunch of questions on my actual exam turned out to be things I'd hand-written in my practices!!  My recall was fairly good thanks to that...

I understand that young people virtually never take notes by hand and they always use laptops in college classes, etc.  I'm not like that, so my experience may be useless to you.  In my business I carry around an actual notebook, not a notebook computer.

I just realized something else.  I wasn't an accounting or business major in college so maybe that's another reason I learn differently.
