Keep It Steady
You can’t study erratically or occasionally; it just doesn’t work. You have to be in the right
mindset to study financial accounting properly. Think about it. What are you doing when you
study? You are trying to cram as much information into your mind at one time as you can.
This doesn’t happen occasionally. You need to set a regular routine and stick to it. A study
schedule is crucial to effective exam prep because it allows you to prepare mentally for the dump
truck of CPA information to unload in your head. You know when you are supposed to study and
you can prepare for it mentally.
You should pick times each week where you study and do nothing else. My CPA exam study
schedule looked like this:
Weekdays: 2-3 hours after dinner
Saturdays: 4 hours in the morning
Sunday: no studying
That was my study schedule and I stuck to it.
