The busy season has just been over as of last Friday. No more weekend overtime:) !!! So I could only squeeze out enough time to do one case a week in April. During March, my work schedule was just crazy like hell. Did not do anything back then. Even now, with a full-time job, I can only do my SOA prep after my daughter goes to sleep. Wish I was job-free.

I am now feeling a lot more comfortable with the reading, planning and writing pattern. So will speed up after this weekend. Have started to develop my flowcharts for PMR topics and summary of audit procedures. My debriefing is getting faster now. I did not know that it also takes time to learn how to debrief properly:)

Like you said, I want to be well-prepared before SOA starts in June. By then, SOA will be a daily technical review/reinforcement and case-writing practice. If I was still learning tons of new technical stuff in SOA, that would be bad.

Thank you for your sharing and advice!
