I started studying the areas that are heavily tested; I mark the question that nails the concepts.

 

I did the MCQ 2x on big picture concepts, those areas that are straight forward to me, I don’t give them second reviews.

 

Key Point:  I made sure I mastered the exceptions to the different report, this doesn’t meaning rote memorization.  Understand exceptions and why.

 

In the final week, as I review those MCQ with deep concepts, I also review the book in referencing the concepts.

 

In my opinion reading the book on everything is a waste, work all the MCQ, the ones that are giving you trouble is the ones likely to get you trouble on the exam. If you don’t master them, they will kill you.

 

As you know, the CPA exam have a tendency to test areas that they know are likely to give the lazy candidates trouble.

 

I am not an auditor, since audit is an exam based on mostly on memorization, I would say cram in the concepts and highly tested areas and you should be good.
