CFA Level 1 FRA

Idk how to start this post but I feel as though the FRA material for the CFA Level 1 exam is very broad, dry, and tough to grasp especially if you don’t have an accounting background. For people that have passed any level of the CFA exams, what are some tips to at least make the content more digestible and interesting? Anything helps.
