helllllllllllp…. so I took a little time today to attempt at relaxing and sleep — didn't sleep last night because i kept having nightmares about variances … weird! But now I am trying to study and I feel like I know NOTHING! At my breaking point. I am thinking of going back to chapter 1 and just trying to re-read the whole book. Exam on Monday .. any advice?

No Silliepanda!!! I just logged in to get some inspiration from you but you are making me nervous now .. errrr Calm down, DON’T PANIC!!!

First of all, forget you are having exam on Monday . just think you are taking practice test after all your efforts. And why you always start form chapter 1? Seems from your posts you love going back to chapter 1 . ha ha ha . Revise your weak points today and make sure tomorrow just you just keep it light.

1) DRINK LOTS OF WATER and CAFFIENE – make sure you utilize today as much as you can . SO you dont leave anything for tomorrow!

2) Take a walk get some air !!

3) Remember one thing – if you panic you are going to make things worse.

JUST RELAX! J I will be praying for you . ALL the best

@sgdh – hahaha awwww thanks ! ithink form school days I use to leave everthing on the last minute and i use to study really long hours during last days of my exam. So I assume my body is now used to studying late night hours. I don’t feel tiered instead I enjoy studying for long hours because if I take break and leave it on next day , I just divert and tend to forget. But this is certainly not a best practice but it works for me.

I lock myself into a room, keep all my distractions like phone, internet away . I try to take 5 mins break after 30 minutes of study . When it gets too much , I just take a nap for 30mins.

GOOD LUCK !! xxx

@Nam .. I don't love Chapter 1 at all … I feel like the times I have taken this exam before this is one of the chapters my previous study program didn't cover all that well. I think I am pretty good with Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 4, Chapter 5. Chapter 3 and Chapter 6 are my weaker points so I am going to try to read them through (the sections that I am lacking on) and then get a good night of sleep and be back at it in the AM. I have to cut myself by a certain time tomorrow night or I will go crazy! Thanks for the pep talk! And don't let my frustration affect you! The way I am looking at it this time is around is I know more than I knew last time and that is all I can do. I will never get every question right!!!!! Seriously I appreciate all your support!

Good luck to everyone!!

I am back from vacation. I managed to spend 6 hours on the way there reading notes and I completed a few hundred multiple choice questions over the last two days. I am at the point where I feel like I spent the last month learning nothing. My test is on Friday and I am a little freaked out but my nerves are helping me stay focused. I am trying to stay calm and remind myself that this is the way that I go into every exam. My goal tonight is to make an audio recording of my notes and complete multiple choice questions until midnight.

Good luck tomorrow Sillie! You can do it!!!!!!

Thank you everyone! I took the exam this morning. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought (which makes me worry). So, I don't know if it is I switched my study materials since I wasn't able to pass the first three times … that's right at least three times.

@Nam — GOOD LUCK!!! You can totally do this! I will be checking back to see how you felt about it 🙂

So I finished the exam, went for lunch with my fiance and now … yup I am sick. But I guess it is time to start thinking about Audit. I have it planned for the day before Thanksgiving!

Guess it is time to move on to the AUD board. I will miss you guys and hopefully see some of you there!!! You all truly helped me!

I appreciate it! — Hopefully I won't have to be posting on BEC again due to having to re-take it .. but I WON'T! (I hope)

I am glad it wasnt that bad! think positive! i hope you clear this exam . FINGER XED !!! Take it easy , just relax today.

I will be joing you in Audit group after tomorrow. LOL . i will be retaking it on 10/15/12. When are you taking Audit? Personal experience – I am not big fan of audit, failing with one lousy mark . I am just so angry!!

the only advice i can give yo with Audit is read every word and make sure don't over read it ! huh !!!!

anyway , i am anxious about tomorrow ! Let's see . I wil be done with my exam around 11 am, I will keep you posted.

I will see you in Audit group shortly!

ENJOY your day today!

Good luck @Nam and panda. You both have worked so hard – I'm sure you will be fine.

I'm back on the train tonight after taking the weekend off. Going to be a loooong week of catch up. I tried to start on IT Friday before I left but my mind just wasn't in the right place. Overall, I don't think I am progressing as slowly as I thought. I also got my NTS today so I am thinking about scheduling around the middle of this month.

It sucks missing the exam by a few points because you never know what to spend more time on or if you are spending too much time…
