Access to so many practice tests

My personal study tips:

Take as many practice tests as possible. The 6 you do during the course are fine but doing as many real questions as possible under timed conditions is the best way to prepare in my opinion.

Shaina's enthusiasm for the material coupled with her knowledge really helped me! When I didn't understand something, she was always able to explain it in a different way to ensure I understood the material. She truly went above and beyond teaching and I credit a lot of my improvement to her

My personal study tips:

I followed Shaina's instruction to a "T" and had such an incredible support system in my family and friends.

Jacob Schiff was an amazing teacher— very engaging and supportive and great at explaining things.

My personal study tips:

I mostly just did the assigned homework, went to class, and took a lot of practice tests! I think it’s really important to review all the questions you get wrong on practice tests and go over the ones you don’t understand with your instructor. Understanding WHY something is wrong is the most important. Jake spent a lot of time going over why wrong answer choices are wrong, which is very helpful on the test.
