Habit 1, "Be Proactive", states that "if you are an effective manager of yourself, your discipline comes from within; it is a function of your independent will." While this is true, why "go it alone", when there may be a "smarter way" to accomplish a multitude of personal objectives?

In terms of exam preparation, ask yourself the following questions:

• How do you intend to get through the 1,000+ pages of syllabus readings over a course of 3 to 4 months?
• Further, how will you determine an efficient course of study which maximizes the benefit per hour of time spent studying each article?
• Finally, once a course of study has been determined, how do you intend to manage your study time, track your study progress, and determine how to best test your understanding of the syllabus readings?

If you have a game plan which addresses the aforementioned objectives, great, run with it. Otherwise, we'd like to help.
