flew through the first Becker practice test after working 10hrs and I did pretty poorly. 66%. (79%, 67%, 54%). Hopefully I can bump it over 70% for test #2 in the next two days. I was straight up guessing on the calculation questions.

I'm over here cramming, getting ready to fire up the coffee! I'm not going to sleep tonight, might take an hour or two nap, but I have no choice. Test is at 8am so I will crash out after. I pretty much screwed up last night (went to the movies) and today (busy at work). Not going to do a practice test but I just got a 85, 70, 85 my last three sessions of Ninja, but not doing too bueno w/ Gleim.

Tonight the movies are over!
which city will you take the exam?

Good luck!

[A1lessio]

Good luck tomorrow! I see we have the same testing approach. Nothing like walking into an exam cracked out, full of caffeine and running on no sleep.

Kudos to you both! I cannot do that. I need to be well rested or none of the questions will make sense.

Hi guys,
I have the same tomorrow as well, It is my first CPA exam.
Do you have any suggestion about the exam please? do I have to
leave all my stuff in the car?
thanks and good luck tomorrow.

[mtaylo24]

@ignaciopc I'm sitting in Richmond VA. I'm a big Wolverine fan, so I had to check out Logan. It was pretty good!

@A1lessio LOL! That's the only way I work!

@Rosy0407 If the test was after 12, I'd be good, but 8am was all they had left, so that means I have to be there at 7:30 and I suck at mornings. Might as well just keep the party going 😉

@mtaylo24 Good luck to you! I hope everyone comes back to post their results! I test on the 9th and I'm rolling around jumping from practice question to practice question. Plus my FAR live class started this past Wednesday 🙁

[A1lessio]

@famh110 – take a good 2-3 hours to really review the Becker Practice exam you took. I'm reviewing some of the calculation questions and they were so long and tough…I'm writing them out and re-writing concepts that are easy, but that I completely forgot about. Even questions you got right, re-read them and understand them. I scored 66% last night at 8 Pm after working 10+ hours, hopefully I can score over 70% tomorrow night.

Anyone here practice the essay portion at all? I haven't done anything on it yet and my exam is in 2 days. Becker has a 40 min lecture on it, I may just watch that.

Good luck to everyone sitting for the exam!

@A1lessio- thanks for the great suggestion. i am going to do just that. i forgot couple of topics that i learned a month ago and took the test without reviewing anything so that's partly the reason for such a poor score i got. i just made to the library and will be working on that test and will review some WC as well. once you look at a few of them, you will get a gist for the basic format, proper grammar etc. from what i have read, don't abbreviate – the software package would detect as an error is the use of CEO for the chief executive officer and don't worry about making an incorrect statement. worry more about staying on topic and writing well. my biggest concern is getting a topic that i cant even bs about.

[Theodore]

I agree.. I haven't even looked at the WC. I am just going to re-watch the lecture on it again. Last time I tested I only worked like 6 (Ch.1 & 2) and I scored comparable. So Format and grammar are heavily tested.

@mtaylo24 When I first scheduled my exam they only had 8 am availble, but kept checking everyday until a 11:30 and 12 pm opened up. I scheduled it for 12 lol I tend to go to sleep pretty late everyday (1 or 2 am, something I should really improve on but the body won't allow it) so 8 was not going to work for me. lol
