Learning must be a highly personalized endeavor. Each one of us can process and retain information through a variety of resources. Our point? Even though test preparation courses or workbooks may cite that their strategies and tricks are the "best," do not force yourself to learn according to how these companies want you to learn, provided that their strategies are not producing promising results. Allow yourself to try other workbooks or classes until you have found your match. We want the process to be easy, yet effective!

Its time for our weekly study tip!
Studying is composed of two components: The first component is deciding what to study for and how to study for it and the second component consists of reviewing your material. Usually, one spends the most time on the former, complaining about how much one has to study rather than actually studying the material.
Here is how to minimize the "deciding" component. Create and accomplish small goals, rather than persistently looking at the BIG picture. It is by accomplishing many small goals that will be most rewarding!
