Got an NA today!

Was debriefing PPI (September 2018 Day 3-2 case) when I realized I completely missed AO #5 in my plan and outline!!!

This is because I altered my approach slightly based on Angela’s recommendation for Day 3, which is to prioritize AO’s in a logical order (ie. if one issue depends on another, do the other issue first).

Today’s NA mark shows that this technique doesn’t work for me, personally, since it puts me at risk of missing AO’s. The MAcc profs tell us to address all issues in the order they are presented, which is what I’ve been doing up to now, and I think I’ll stick with that method going forward. In the past cases I’ve done, my integration between issues could definitely be improved (that’s one of my weaknesses), but I haven’t noticed any other downsides to doing the AO’s in order. They are usually presented in a fairly logical way to begin with.
