    Im taking the exam tomorrow, I was wondering if anybody has any last minute advice?

    Something you recommend looking over right before the exam?

    I haven't taken the exam yet, but it seems that you have a sort of advantage since you have seen the exam twice before. Use that to your benefit and drill the areas that kept you from passing in your previous attempts.

    FAR 07/27/11 - 87
    AUD 10/01/11 - 85
    BEC 11/15/11 - 87
    REG 01/03/12 - 92

    What worked for me was to watch a ballgame the night before and spend time with the family. I tried to just relax and take my mind off of the exam. Make sure you manage your time well on the 3 MC testlets, and leave enough time for the SIMS.

    I hope it goes good for you.

    yes a little R&R works. The night before every one of my exams, I stopped studying around 7 pm and just relaxed. At that point you know it or you don't.

    GOOD LUCK! That is about the best advice I can give…

    That and time management! I left almost 2 hours for the SIMS and needed every single second of it!

    FAR: 78 - May 2011
    AUD: 81 - May 2012
    REG: 79 - October 2012
    Ethics: Passed - March 2013
    I am finally DONE!

    leave enough time for TBS sims and dont leave any section of the TBS sims blank, especially if you get journal entries and you dont have a clue what to put (which is quite common LoL believe me!!!!!) just fill the thing in with something! for example, if you dont know anything you should at least fill in with some account names that might make up the debit and credit -> that way even if your numbers are wrong you might get 50% of that journal entry tab correct! and chances are if it's tricky for you, it's tricky for everyone else too so just take a deep breath and do your best!

    done
