Don’t let that feeling of excitement when you receive your ACE study materials turn into anxiety. In this article, we explain how to tackle all of the materials without feeling overwhelmed and how to utilize the resources that ACE provides, which are designed to assist and guide you through your exam preparation.

The goal of your Master the Manual study guide is to help you review the material you just read about in your manual and to help you focus in on the important concepts. Just like some people learn better visually/auditory/kinesthetically, the Master the Manual tries to reach those candidates who learn best from multiple choice/fill in the blank/listing questions.

So the day has finally come. Your exam preparation materials have arrived on your doorstep. You carry them inside, carefully rip into the box, and start unpacking. And the materials keep coming. Like clowns out of a VW. And you sit down, and stare, and wonder…where should I start?
