Here’s the current situation. I graduated back in December and began studying for FAR December 27th or so. I do not have a job so during this time I have spent a good amount of time studying but right now it is February 13 and my exam is scheduled for February 27.

I have only watched all the videos, gone back through the book and took notes from it and the NINJA notes, and now I am about one third of the way through multiple choice questions on Roger CPA Review and Wiley TB.

I just do not feel prepared at all. I go back a few chapters and don’t remember ANY of the material that I feel like a new just a few weeks ago, I just do not think I am spending enough time on each section.

The problem is I am just very behind and with other life issues such as recently totaling out my vehicle, my wife and I looking for a house in a different city and having to travel to that city tomorrow through Monday to try and find something and possibly get a house purchased I just can not stay motivated/focused enough to finish cramming the material in before the pending test date. On one hand since I am not working but just volunteering as a tax aide for 3 days a week for 6 hours or so I feel like it may be possible to pick it back up on Monday and cram the next 10 days on the rest of the material and possibly squeak by with a 75.

If you were in my shoes what would you do? =( Really need some advice, I know it is really a pathetic situation but sometimes us humans don’t always do the right thing.

Teetee , I should finish my review by Monday (reading ch 1 to 7 flash cards and mc). After that, I'm just going to do MC and simulations and no more reading. I want to see how much I really know. About 4 days before exam, I will review Gov and NFP.

Monk, I did not go back to review each chapter as you did and now I'm paying for it. I think the only good strategy I used was doing flash cards on every chapter , which is helping me now.

Flash cards only work for me if I am studying with a friend and I am reading the questions to them and then explain it after they guess or don't know it (I have a friend taking the exams too so we do this sometimes).

MCQ work best for me! Just keep doing tons of those. I have a Word doc full of just calculations of how to arrive at certain answers, then refer back to this when doing more MCQ.

You are almost done with this exam all together. If I pass this exam, I'm going to get a tatto with the three letters not to remind me of my accomplishment, but to never forget that I need to be humble and that I'm not smarter than anyone else cause this exam is really kicking my A$$.
