How Long - Just Curious - jamesconner31 - 03-30-2009
Just a quick tip that helps me a lot. I usually break down larger sections (30 questions or more) into sub-sections. I will study section 1-A until I'm ready to move on to 1-B. EX: Section 1 may have 80 questions. I break it down into three sections. Two with 25 questions and one with 30. I do them each individually until I think I've got it, then I randomize them to see if I'm really getting it.
I have an easier time eating an elephant one bite at a time rather than just trying to gobble down the whole thing.... but that's just me.

With the IC flashcards, I always master one section at a time.
First, I go through the entire section (the first time I usually don't get any answers correct) and read through the explanations. Then I go through again and again until I can answer basically all the questions correctly. This usually takes me maybe 2-3 hours, I think, although it varies.
Next, I move onto the next section and do the same thing. I also cumulatively review everything often.
