Well all this studying I think really have hit me phycially. I ended up spending most of my Saturday in the Urgent Care Care center. I wasn't feeling really great starting on Thursday, then on Saturday I couldn't even sit. My right kidney area was killing me. Well it truns out I have a UTI. I've never had one before and OMG was I in pain. Of course the pain had to hit on Saturday when the doctor's office was closed. This morning I'm feeling much better, thank goodness. I majorly need to make up on my studying today.

Started sitting in May 2002, on and off. But since 2008 I've been nonstop and my scores are....
AUD - 39, 48, 56, 65, 68, 73, 76!!! (Finally passed in Oct 2011!!!) Becker, NINJA, & Wiley
REG - 75 (Lost Credit) 72, 68, 73, 75 (Passed again in Aug 2011) Becker, NINJA, & Wiley
FAR - 65, 68, 75 (Lost Credit) 68, 73, 73, 80 (Passed again in May 2012) Roger, NINJA, & Wiley
BEC - 65, 68, 71, 72, 72, 71, 76 (Lost Credit)- 70, 76!!!! I AM DONE!!! - Roger, NINJA, & Wiley
After 10 long years of studying, I AM DONE!!!! Finally a Licensed CPA in the State of New York!!

Ourch! I know how painful that is. I think stress is a factor. The only time I had one was when I had to make an emergency trip to my mother's to put her in the hospital. The admission process took 5-6 hours, and I kept feeling worse and worse. By the time I got back to her house I knew what was wrong and called my husband. It helps to have a doctor in the family so I was able to get an antibiotic called in that night. Unfortunately, I learned the hard way that sulfa drugs make me horribly ill. Not a fun memory.

I hope you're feeling better and able to focus on studying. Good luck with your exam.

@jomarie,

I am so sorry to hear that you were ill. Hope the recovery is speedy!

Remember to take care of you!!! I know, easier said than done. But it is hard for a Mom to do.

Thanks everyone!! I am feeling much better now. I think it was a wakeup call for me to start taking care of myself. With all this studying and stress I put myself last, but now I'm trying to eat and drink better than I was. Still no time for exercise, but I have one more week till my exam so I'll go at it again then.

Jomarie — I've been doing leg exercises standing at my computer so that my bum doesn't spread too much. That way you can work on your MCQs and your behind 😉 https://www.womenshealthmag.com/files/pdfs/sculpt-a-lean-body.pdf <- this has some good ones, but it may make you sign up. Also, I've personally started reciting the standard unqualified audit report while doing squats or crunches — perhaps you could do the same with pension journal entries?

I've been experimenting on myself and I've found that I focus better after some (doesn't have to be a lot) exercise. So, when you're brain is exploding you may want to take a break and do some jumping jacks. (Like me at prometrics… I literally skipped down the hallway to the ladies room just to get my blood flowing back to my brain!)

REG -- October 3!!
FAR -- Pass
BEC -- Pass
AUD -- Pass
