-when you feel the most miserable piece of skin and bones in the world.

-when you get angry because people use the wrong terms @ work (e.g. expenses vs. expenditures).

-when you can't wait for the CPA Exam subsequent events.

-when you think of yourself as a going-concern.

-when you meet a girl and as soon as you tell her you're studying for the CPA Exam she tells you she's having finals too (wtf)

You know you are a CPA candidate when the home page on your laptop is Another71.com, the home page on your personal desktop is NASBA, and the home page on your work computer is the Wiley test bank.

When you try to sleep at night but your brain is still in study mode for the CPA exam.

Kricket, setting the wiley test bank to my home page is not a bad idea! should do that.

When you start imagining the journal entry for anything and everything that comes up in conversation…

“I just put down $XX on an apartment today and they gave me X% off first month's rent!!”

Ok…so the lessor debits cash and credits refundable deposit and then the lessee has to add up all the rent payments and divide by the period of the lease to figure out monthly rent payable…

****What is one Golden Rule for Passing the Exam? 1) Read the question properly. and 2) Leave yourself enough time to answer all of the....
****Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They makes mistakes, but they don't quit.
****Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.

When you know your section number by heart because you have checked your score so many times, knowing they haven't been released yet.

When your mom, who has never texted before in her life, starts texting you instead of calling so as not to interrupt study time.

When you feel guilty taking a minute to relax, thinking that minute could be the difference between a 74 and 75.

When you randomly recite various mnemonics in your head.
