To be totally honest, reading this material is a bit daunting. I already got my MBA and have seen 90% of all the material already. I feel like reading and trying to remember/understand all of the material 100% isn’t an efficient allocation of my time.
Do you think it would be more efficient to make flashcards for every LOS then do a lot of practice problems? I currently have Schweser books and class notes which touch on every LOS and I can probably learn/review while making them. My type of learning can memorize 2000 flash cards, but it can barely memorize 200 pages of reading.
Not saying I would skip the readings, just saying that I wouldn’t be focusing all my energy on reading and internalizing everything 100%. Almost like passive reading, then active reading for what I don’t know and get wrong on the practice problems.
Opinions or experiences with your level 1 studying?
Is making flashcards not the same as reading and learning the text?
I think it’s the same thing only more efficient than just reading.
My method is: I read the book and take notes along, which are a kind of flashcards only longer. I sometimes do handwritten, sometimes make slides.
And then for review I turn only to my notes unless I come accross sth in the practice questions which is not reflected in my notes. This happens. Then I add it to my notes.
I would not be able to just read the material like I read a book.
But it might depend on personality/brain set? Even in work if I receive a report when I read it I highlight, make sidenotes, otherwise I would be not able to work with the information.
