Hey everyone,

I decided to look into strategies for the day before the exam. I came across reverences to studies that have been done that say studying the day before the exam is actually bad:

“Research shows that studying the day before the exam hurts you, because it crowds your short term memory with last minute info that can interfere with long term memory retrial or bias your decision making skills.”

Before I came across this information I was reading through all the chapters in my FAR book hoping to pick up all of the little subjects I forgot about. Could it be that enjoying my night is a better strategy? Is is possible that I am done studying for FAR as I write this? Or will I score a 74 tomorrow because I was looking for any excuse to stop studying?

Taking the day off before the exam is an interesting concept. What are your thoughts?

I spoke to an ancient wise man who sent me on a mushroom induced journey through an ancient forest to find the key to passing the CPA exam. A talking spider monkey told me to throw the last of my drinking water in the dirt to find what I was looking for. So I followed his instructions and the following message appeared in the soil:

"Do 5000 multiple choice questions for each section"

@toughkitty Let hope. I would love a 75! It would be kind of funny(in a dark kind of way) if i bombed it. Its my first exam and I didn't really stop and put a lot of critical thinking into the questions as much as I powered through them. The Sims have the potential to ruin me, but overall I am kind of ignorant of what it takes to pass these things. Fortunately ignorance is bliss!
