[Journey to Fate]

Who’s in with me to finish this month up strong? I have a family commitment tomorrow, so I am up early already starting to hammer out MCs as much as possible today.

About 3 weeks to BEC. Hope everyone gets good studying in today and stay focused.

We got this!!!

Count me in. This is my last weekend to study before I take FAR next Thursday! Reviewing notes and drilling MCQs like crazy today and tomorrow 🙂 Good luck!!

Good luck, y'all!

I'm definitely in! REG on Mother's Day for me, which I just realized is only two weeks away! I don't know what lame-brain scheduled REG so close to AUD, but here I go! :o)

Wish now I hadn't taken a week off after AUD to breathe a little!

FAR: 11/26 81!! Thank you Prof. Hoyle & cpareviewforfree!
AUD: 2/26 73*, 4/20 66 (AICPA approved free re-do: 8/12--waiting)
BEC: 1/15 82!! Wiley & cpareviewforfree
REG: 5/13 66, 7/22--waiting!

I am in! BEC on May 8th and I am planning to pound out B2 today and B3 tomorrow :o)

@Wendy, if I register for cpareviewforfree, does that mean they flood my inbox with offers and spam and otherwise engage in generally unacceptable email practices?

@BDO I've been registered with that website for a year now I maybe got one email…to confirm my registration.

BEC on May 29th for me!

I am in!! I am hoping to get a good 15 hours in this weekend.

I am registered at cpareviewforfree and I typically get an email every other month or so…and I actually read them as they have some helpful hints and ideas.

@mavs, I sure do hope so! I have to admit, I'm panicking a little right now….cash flows are like a foreign language to me–can't keep anything in that section straight! I'm not even sure if I'm capable of learning anything more before this exam! Maybe I'll just work on my other areas….

@eelcpa

Same thing with me and dollar value LIFO. I've never understood it, and it would probably wouldn't be an efficient use of time with five days left haha. I'm reviewing cash flows right now. I'll try to post a few notes and tricks in an hr or two that will hopefully help you understand cash flows and squeeze a few extra points out of the exam.

BEC - 85
REG - 77
AUD - 73, 83
FAR - 68, 89

Ugh don't remind me of dollar value LIFO, lol That's another topic that I don't get along with! lol

Come on jomarie! Take comfort in knowing that if you study for FAR like a CHAMP this will be the LAST exam you will ever have to take……….and then we'll all give you praise and call you jomarie, CPA 🙂

I may have found it. I'm just having a real hard time getting through the lectures. Going to try to finish up FAR 5 today. I'm going to take it one day at a time.

I've been extremely emotional and down lately and I'm thinking the reason why is today would have been my Mom's 66th birthday. She's been gone now over 7 years. My older daughter was 3 months old when she passed on.

@jomarie: An idea!

The strawberries in the stores right now are in season and cheap! Go to the store, buy 1 quart ($2.99), wash, chop, and fire up Tim Gearty. Every time he says “again” eat a piece of strawberry. You'll be pleasantly happy and out of berries before you know it! Not to mention a game will put a smile on your face and help you think fondly of your mom, accept and acknowledge regret, and be empowered because you are making your own wise choices today because of strength she imparted to you. Game therapy is amazing!

Good luck and best wishes!

FAR - 87

Done and only took 12 months. Thank you Jeebus!

@jomarie, So sorry to hear about your mom passing away. I can definitely see how that might throw you off in your studies. Upside, you now have an angel cheering for you to pass this exam! 🙂

@franklin, good luck on BEC on Monday!
