I have to go to work tomorrow. I was planning to go in early leave by 4pm, dinner and do MCQ until my body can’t take it any more. Tuesday-Thursday. Should I just focus on practice test. How did you study right before the test? This is my first test for CPA (BEC) trending in the 60s but I am going in with positive mindset. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I would not do MCQs the day before. I don't know if you're the type to cram but to me, it doesn't work. BEC was my first test too and I remember doing like 10 questions the day before I got 5/10. Don't. It psychs you out. Do review and go over areas you feel that you're weak at. Good luck.

@Want2BeCPAsoBad,

I'll tell you what I'm planning to do. I also have an exam that day. For me, it's FAR and HOPEFULLY it'll be my last.

I've been using the forums, NINJA MCQ, Bisk/NINJA Plus videos, and of course my own notes from each of these sources, to study. Included, with the NINJA subscription are AICPA recently released MCQs (without solution) for 2015 and 2016. I have notes that I wrote-out while watching the videos and mini notes, about 23 pages, are organized by topic (eg Current Assets, A/R, Inventory…Gov't and NFP), which highlight the main points.

On Monday, I plan on working through the recently-released MCQs. Tuesday, I will read through my mini notes from front to back, including glance at a MCQ and SIM I printed out. Wednesday I will read them again, but go from back to front. Thursday, I will review again, but just the mini notes.

Friday, I plan to recreate Thursday at a local Panera. Get there around 9. Relax and have a light breakfast. Review some more. Eat lunch. Go over some tough MCQ and SIMs (go over = review DON'T agonize). Then show up at the test site at 1:30 for my 2:30 exam. Relax in the parking lot for 30 mins or so. Report at 2pm (they say show up 30 mins early).

Don't forget to kick ass, and your photo ID and NTS.
