I’ve got “Eye of the Tiger” (one of the best songs ever) blasting in the background as I write this. I’m getting myself pumped up for my last weekend of review for FAR, which begins tonight. I test Monday at noon. I’m going to pass this! I’m going to hit from a place of strength! No more panic mode here. No more whining. I’m done being afraid of this beast. I’ve been busting my @ss for months and I WILL finish strong. Watch out, FAR, because T-rex is going to eat you alive! Rawrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Nice, good choice. 🙂 I googled “Motivational Pandora Station” and that's what I'm listening to for my last night of studying before my exam tomorrow.

My boss told me when I left work today not to come back to work on Monday if I don't feel like I passed my exam after tomorrow. *gulp* I think he was joking??

We can do this ladies!!! Let's be strong and go in with confidence. For each of us this may be the last section we ever have to take! We are too damn close to the finish line to let up now. Here's a great quote I read somewhere:

“Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.”

T-Rex, I was so mad by the time I took FAR for the fourth time, I used my rage and turned it back on the AICPA.

You go in there with the attitude of “I will own you, FAR. You will not defeat me” and you will pass. You have put in the time and it will pay off.

“Eye of the Tiger” is a recurring theme song in my head. I get all pumped up! My son sings, “The Island of Tigers”…

[kandisjoy]

Well.. I don't feel like I passed. I feel like I guessed on the majority of the questions. The simulations were way out of left field.. just awful. I hope that by some miracle that I passed, but I won't be surprised if I failed again. /sigh

First testlet was pretty easy

Second testlet was definitely more difficult

Third testlet I'm not sure… probably easier than the second one

None of my sims were easy, except for the research question. I'm pretty sure that I got that correct, at least.

@allyson, “The Island of Tigers” is awesome! I tried singing it that way. It's pretty funny.

@kandis, For REG, I missed most of the sims and didn't do so hot on the MCQs either, yet I still passed. The scoring is bizarre. I hope you'll pass, too.

@jomarie, Yeah, that video and song rock! I'm about to listen to it again myself to get my energy back up.

True Story: we buy milk from a local farmer and the lid said “raw milk”…I did a double take because I thought it said “rawr” milk.

RAWR!!!!!!

@Jeff, That's funny! I think that “Rawr Raw Milk” would be a great name for tiger's milk. I don't think you can get that from your local farmer, but Whole Foods may stock it–they've got everything. I gather it'd be expensive though as milking a tiger would be a bit more perilous than milking a cow or goat.

Rawr!!!
