I have and my brain is fried. Gotta pass BEC this time though. Anybody else to the BURN OUT point??? Been thinking about getting a glass of wine to help me through Becker BEC 3. Maybe I’ll remember better.

Haha! Yes, I'm about to hit my 12-hour mark; however, I'll give you the advice I give myself “back away from the wine glass”. Wine affects your attention and short-term memory. Try to get through your section, then have your glass of wine as a reward 🙂 Just something I would tell myself, but I understand if you have the glass! I might have to do the same. The chardonnay in my fridge is sounding pretty tasty now that you mention it! LOL!

Oh yeah! Big time burn-out here. You guys aren't alone.

Yeh, it's kind of pitiful/sick/insane to listen to a bedtime story about Capital Management from Peter O.

You guys ever have nightmares about this exam? I do a few times per week. Pathetic.

Nope. Only 4 hours today. Never study more than that in a day. If I do, my brains shuts down and I get too overstressed.

But I studied a total of 23 hours this week. Will put in another 23 next week. My life is just so much fun!!

I think the most I've ever studied is 5 hours in one day. I am just not the guy who can lock himself in a room for that long and study effectively. I'd rather study 2-3 hours a day effectively than 5 hours just to say I studied that long.

Sadly, I have dreams of multiple choice questions. I'll even have dreams where someone asks me a question and I'll make up options A,B,C,D and pick the best one.

FAR - 7/25/11 - 79
AUD - 11/29/11 - 93

Felt burnt out the last week and a half, but I think it was due to trying to grasp A4 & A5. Don't feel so much so now and still not sure I understand A4 & A5 fully! I used to dream FAR all night long when I was studying for it; I always felt like I was behind schedule.

8 hours yesterday, 5 hours so far today 🙂 REG is brutal

[Anonymous]

Lol.. I've been studying FAR for 12 hours every day for a week… NEED to nail it on 8/27!!! Good luck to all!!!

[Anonymous]

I guess I study about 3 to 4 hours Mon-Thur and 8+ on Sat & Sun. I try to take Friday's off

[jomarie]

Well my plan of 8 to 10 hours went out the window today after about 2 hours. I think what threw me off was I slept in this morning and I usually get my best time in the morning while the kids are still sleeping. Anyways, here I am going to get in a few more hours in tonight before bed.
