I am so done with this test. I am taking my (fingers crossed) last section of this test in less than three weeks & I couldn’t feel more burned out right now. I have been studying nonstop basically since the last week of March, because I lose credit for REG come August 28th so I’m on a pretty tight timeline. I have taken basically 3 weekends off from studying this summer and I’m really starting to feel the stress & burnout right now. August is really busy for IA so I’m juggling a ton of stuff going on at work with fitting Audit into 4 weeks and knowing that I can’t fail. Anyways, just wanted other people to commiserate with because I want to punch this test in the face, pass, and then hold a sacrificial burning of the books ceremony at the end.

Don't burn the laptop down, lets be reasonable. Print out the online book and then burn it one page at a time, while you sit around drinking vodka on the rock.

I am in a similar boat as some of you! August 23rd is my shot at being done with this process forever!!! I keep having dreams about getting a passing score and doing cartwheels and screaming and jumping around the yard. It is a nice motivating dream 🙂

h0wdyus, when is your test???

Oh to be done…that is a grand thought! I've passed three, with the last leg (hopefully) to begin next week for an October 3rd exam date. I want to quit right now so badly after taking a month off (bad idea) but I know I can because I'm so close. I don't want to let any windows expire in case I get hung up on my last test…even though I have 4 shots at it. Starting back is ridiculously hard…

You can do two weeks of studying standing on your head! You've come too far to give the bully a free shot. Don't back down now. Stay focused. Keep your eyes on the prize. Tell yourself every morning “Today, I am one day closer to being a CPA. When I'm done forever, I'm going to do some really EPIC s**t!”

My boss once told me:

“You have to keep your gloves up, because life is always looking for ways to kick the sh*t out of you, and life isn't afraid to kick you over and over while you're down and sh*t on you”

It was a good motivational speech after failing FAR/AUD last december, but it applies today, Start fast and finish strong!

REG- (1) 76
FAR- (2) 64, (5)74, (7)83 (Over achiever!)
AUD- (3) 70, (4) 75
BEC- (6) 75

Ah, smart! My prep is okay. I've entered the phase of constantly gong back and forth thinking “I've got this!” And “Im not so sure m going to pass…” I hate the last two weeks. I'm going through the items that I am not as strong in and nailing down the formulas.

And I am so ready to go back to regular life too. We will have the same score release! Keep in touch!!
