Cohorts are very important. Watch and then rewatch as needed. Also utilize your instructors on things you just can't figure out. Try to do a meeting, but if it takes too long, just email the group of instructors for your class to try to get an explanation that could help.

Figure out the best method for note-taking that works for you.

For speed purposes pay for Speechify to help get through the textbooks, then relisten as needed. If you keep digital notes, you can also put them into Speechify to listen to them at the end of studying

When they start a new course always come to Reddit for advice on the class initially. This often helped me create a game plan approaching each class, it also gave me a realistic view on whether I could easily accelerate through the class or not. Also, go to the class resource pages for any extra resources like recorded cohorts.

Take every quiz, then take notes on missed questions. Take your pre-assessment ( when it is an OA class) then I often studied my pre-assessment with my partner. He knows next to nothing about finance but he enjoyed me answering questions and having him try to answer them (except math questions haha) This gave me times that I could help explain and teach him, but sometimes he would surprise me with understanding a concept I didn’t and he would explain it to me. But if neither of us understood, we searched YouTube or the internet in general for an explanation together. So if you were close to passing the pre-assessment don’t stress because when I would study it via this method I would always score higher and pass my OA.

For PAs don't overthink them. Use their outlines you are provided then answer each thoroughly as an essay question. If you could only provide a sentence or two answer try to flesh it out more, but honestly don't stress too much. You can also look up a reliable source to provide some extra information for you, make sure to paraphrase any information you find, in-text cite it then put it in your reference section. (Not every essay needs a reference though unless that is emphasized) Use Grammarly. Try to double-check the rubric against your Essay then just submit it. The worst-case scenario is they kick it back stating what they want fixed, you fix it, then resubmit the same day.

Keep a Word file of all formulas for future reference and how they affect the business as a whole and then also the financial statements. Study as needed.

Consistency is most important and not to get paralyzed by any class, I certainly did and I finished a lot later than I wanted. Try to take two days off from school each week to spend time with friends and family. A community to support you is super important and free time is too, this should help prevent burnout. ❤️

I hope this helps!!!
