So far I am having a good day. I think I have more caffeine in my veins than blood right now so I am hoping to do as much MC as I can until midnight.

Okay 2 hours in. I did a bunch of MC, freaked out and decided that there is no way I will be ready on friday, calmed myself down, ate a bowl of Captain Crunch, and now I am back to MC. I really really really hate the jitters that I get from the week of the exam!!!

I have hit a wall. I am trying to do one more set of questions, but i find i am just rushing to get done.

One more try then i guess its bed for me, going to work at 645 this morning is finally catching up to me.

A - 61, 91!!
B - 78!
F - 76!!!
R - 71, 73, 74, 69, 77!!!!

Finally done!

This is my 2nd attempt at the exam, I had two parts passed (failed many) and I stupidly quit, big mistake. Now I'm back and with a vengeance!

I battled cost accounting all night. I was really hoping to cover more material. I thought cost accounting would be one of my strongest subjects and it turns out I am weak on it. I think I made a lot of progress. I am surprisingly doing well in Econ and IT though and I thought those would be my weakest subjects. Oh well I am finally done for the night. Hopefully I can get a lot done tomorrow. I think I can still cram 15 more hours of study time in before my exam.

I got home early tonight so I am hoping to get 5 1/2 hours in tonight. I am determined that I will have a better night than last night. Is anyone else cramming with me tonight?

@MrsB

Count me in! Got off early yesterday and I was able to put out as much quality hours last night. Making a combined “master formula” paid off real well. Have to admit, I'm not the biggest fan on how Becker present some of the computations, hence came up with some simplier and direct solutions. I'll be going back to make sure all sections with computations have them (haven't figured out yet for some other complex problems).

How do you study when you're physically and mentally tired? That happened to me Saturday and it wasn't productive. I sometimes feel guilty when I take breaks, however I make sure I study everyday. B1-B3 takes forever!

I'll be putting in around 3 hours tonight, let's see if I could do more. What I meant with breaks were shorter study periods/hours.

I'm hoping for 3 hours tonight too! Hoping to master some more formulas!

A - 61, 91!!
B - 78!
F - 76!!!
R - 71, 73, 74, 69, 77!!!!

Finally done!

@sdgh1826 caffeine helps. I also try to remind myself that the sooner I suck it up and study to get though this the sooner I will get my life back.

Finally making progress. After 2 long days of bombing practice testlets I just got 2 80's on variance analyses. How is everyone else doing?

I cannot take another MC question so I am going to rewrite formulas for the next half an hour and go to bed. I hope that you had a good night sdgh1826 and LSYNC!

I was feeling pretty good,but thought I might be starting to remember the questions so decided to check out cpareviewforfree.com and well lets just say it knocked my confidence level down big time, I guess this is better than being over confident. Calling it a night! Tomorrow is my (mostly) off day, see you Thursday!

A - 61, 91!!
B - 78!
F - 76!!!
R - 71, 73, 74, 69, 77!!!!
