    Try to combine formulas, it helped me answer the questions in B2 quickly. I'll have to do that for cost and the rest of B3. But have to admit, there are a lot so make a formula sheet. It should have all formulas you'll need, simplify and keep polishing it. Hoping to write them all down during test day.

    I'm in SoCal too (where gas price$ are sky high), BEC will be my first section. Just curious what do you think you're doing better this time, as compared to REG, any tips? Still adjusting my study strategy every so often to find the most effecient way for me. Every exam is different, they might hardly test you on one chapter and focus on that one the next time. Safe to say to just study everything, it's taking me forever to get through the first half of BEC but hopefully it will be worth it. Worth enough to just go through this messy section once.

    Starting to stress out! 9 days till my exam and the last two have been not productive studying days. Tonight my usual off night I'm sending the husband out and studying instead. This weekend I'm going to the library hopefully Saturday and Sunday for 4-5 hours each day. The last push to hopefully get the formulas and the COSO model down.

    So stressed out right now, but my quarter end is wrapping up and my test is coming up so that's to be expected I guess. My poor husband!

    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!

    So this is my first exam and I'm extremely nervous! Taking BEC on 11/17/12. I'm using Becker 2012 and plan on using Wiley, Ninja Notes and maybe CPAreviewfor free. I've read the book and watched the lectures so I plan on doing nothing but multiple choice and rewriting the notes over the next 6 weeks and maybe listening to the lectures while at work.

    Anybody else taking the exam around this time?

    I've scheduled mine a couple of days before yours. BEC will be my first section too. How's your review going? My strategy is videos, read+nts then mcq's for that section. Any tips for studying IT?

    @sdgh1826

    I've finished up all the lectures and the book. Now its multiple choice questions from Wiley and Becker homework, and reading and rewriting the NINJA Notes. I guess i'm kinda following the NINJA approach to studying, it seems smart.

    LOL didn't get to finish my previous post, must've hit the wrong button, here's the remainder:

    Going to try and study a bare minimum of 15 hrs/week over the next 5 & 1/2 weeks. I'm a single mom with a 3 yr old child at home so most of my study time will be on the weekends. I also plan on listening to the lectures at work and when i'm cleaning, need all the help i can get!!

    My last weekend before my exam! Hoping a big push will help me pass. I am trying to focus on the topics that I am struggling with. Yet I find this discouraging if it just isn't clicking for me and I don't want to spend all of the time I have left focusing on areas I am not succeeding at and not reviewing the other topics.

    Anyone else taking their test this coming week?

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

    Finally done!
