Hey Gang,

I find it challenging to locate a spot that I can study and fully concentrate. Just wanted to reach to you all and ask where is your place of choice to study.

stay away from cafes, go to library, eventually you will find its easy to study anywhere and tune out the noise, I have grown to this level, I can focus in a club on saturday. Focus! Focus!

I've been doing most of my studying for the CPA exam in my room at home. However, when I was in college, I loved studying in the library.

Recently, I have been studying in my living room at home. I find myself being a distraction to myself. I am either, putting clothes in the washer or washing dishes. At one time, I was studying at Barnes and Noble but being there was worse than being at home. I think I am going to try the library. Thanks!

I live for time at the library.......I mean I am excited to get to go tonight to study! I have tried at home, it doesn't work! My hubby is really good about going upstairs with my 9 month old daughter where we have a media room and trying to stay as quiet as possible while I stay downstairs and study at the kitchen table. The problem is, I can still here laugh, cry, whine, whatever and that distracts me VERY easily. I have come to realize that studying at home is just NOT productive AT ALL! So every night I commit myself to 2-3 hours at the library and then head home. On Saturdays I am in there from the time it opens until it closes. This worked for me with FAR so I am going to do the same for Audit and hope it works. Although I have ahlf as much time to spend on Audit :-)
