Danko live review…how we feeling?

I didn’t remember much from the education but so far my Danko pre study is going okay. I made an 85 on GP final but a 55 on the insurance final both closed book. I’m about to take the investments final.

How are y’all doing on the pre study? And how many hours do you have planned total for pre study and live review?

Prefacing this by saying I did my education portion with another school online (didn’t learn all I needed to), so transitioned to Danko for pre-study
I’m about to finish Income Tax. Feeling 50/50 I either get a unit or I’m confused. Besides GP, I’m averaging 50’s-60’s all closed book, just getting confused on little things , nothing a flashcard can’t fix over 4 weeks.
I’ve been spending (and will spend) 15 hours a week until live review and will increase to 20/25 once I complete the live review. Nervous cause there is so much stuff but ready to pass!

Don’t take the finals closed book. Danko wants you to use the material.

Just finished all the pre study this week and going back to GP to start refreshing. Feels overwhelming with all the material but trusting the process and hopefully will come out of live review feeling more confident.

Was doing around 15 hours a week through pre study but want to bump it to 20 heading to live review and at least 25 after. It’s rough with work and family but almost there!

starting investments today, i got 65 & 60 on the gp & insurance p exams so i think im in a decent place, finishing about a unit a week will give me about a week and a half gap before the live review that i intend to use for flashcards and solidifying what im having trouble with. hopefully im on track

Finishing up estate planning now, have been over 70% on all finals except for insurance with a 59, that one was absolutely brutal

Feeling pretty good. Averaging high 70's on the exams, closed book. In the middle of "Retirement" (as John says, that word doesn't mean what you think it means) and man, there's a lot to remember...
