FL: thanks for the input… good luck tomorrow, i hope you do well and get through this. try to go in with a positive attitude and do your best.
i have done the supps for all the chapters but 3 and 5. looking at another 140 and 195 questions makes me want to vomit. especially if 37 questions takes me over an hour to complete i will be doing this one section for a week.
i'll do as many as i can hoping that i get as many in as i can.
Good look to you today, mine is Wednesday, I am going to try and rewrite most of my notes today. I read this as a suggestion on the Club 75 website. I have made notes of all of the mcq.
@ CPA-Valenz: Thank you, and good luck to you on Wednesday. I had made a lot of notes of the MCQ's, and of the formulas. I'll be reviewing them again right before I walk into the testing center.
Dear CPA Exam,
Please be kind to me today. You have taken over the last 4 months of my life, and I would very much like for you to be generous to me today.
CPA-Valenz: It was absolutely horrific! Sorry to freak you out, but it's true. Over half of the exam was on material that was not covered in Becker or Wiley. I may have been one of the unlucky ones that got a crazy exam, or maybe I had a LOT of pretest questions. Don't let me get you down, though, stay positive. You may get a lot of questions that you do know. And for the ones that I did “know”, I couldn't remember the stupid formulas 😡
Well, actually this is my 2nd attempt, the 1st attempt I felt exactly the same way as you do now. I hadn't seen half the material they were throwing at me. I used Gleim for that attempt.
I now am using Yaeger.
Well, I will find out soon enough, today I took the day off and am cramming, then tomorrow is the DAY!!
Good luck, CPA-Valenz! Did you find that there was additional information in Yaeger that was not in Gleim? I was going to purchase the Yaeger review for when I have to retake this part in July.
With Gleim I just purchased the book…so I read the entire thing and did the questions 2x, but didn't really understand what I was doing.
The Yaeger DVD's helped me to actually understand why I was doing what I was. I definitely understand it better this go around. I scored a 68 with the Gleim book. Just hoping for 7 more points.
Sorry, hopeful, didn't mean to scare you. As far as your question about the variance equations, I would know them all and the different ways that they can be used. I can't really say much more than that on here.
I really feel that I got the short end of the stick and was tested on all the stuff that is “rarely tested” that Becker skips. And the stuff that they do cover I didn't study as well as I should have bc I was focused on the stuff that I was totally lost on…and was never tested on. Keep your head up and keep redoing ALL the MC…something has got to stick if you understand all the concepts.
i have chapters 1,2,4 and most of 3 down for sure… chapter 5 is still a work in process (no pun intended) and i am doing my best to get through that. i am hoping that if i kill 1,2,4, most of 3 and some of 5 i should be in good shape… god will we will all do fine on this exam and get through it.
