Know what you can and cannot brings with you. You don’t want to lose out on a valuable resource in the exam.

As Benjamin Franklin said, “By Failing to Prepare, You’re Preparing to Fail”

As Dr. Mansour always reminds us, some places say 200-300 hours is enough, but aim for 500 hours of studying to get ready for this exam. Studying for this exam is intense and finding a balance between work, studying, and regular life will be the hardest part.

The exam is a little less than two months away. Think of studying as your second job with a finite timeline October 25^th, 2019. As we mentioned before the balance between work, studying and everyday life with your family and friends will be hard to balance. Therefore, we suggest making a plan of action. Be the boss of your studying and schedule time daily to devote to only studying as much as possible!
