    Last week of prep for FAR on Saturday. I had a fairly decent studying weekend until Wily Simulations decided to stop working, now I can’t find out my score for yesterday’s practice test because it is stuck. Oh well, going to do non-stop MCQ!

    How about you?!?!?

    @I love numbers!

    Don't freak out. You gotta get out of your own way. If you freak out you will only do worse. You got a 71 last time so you don't have that far to make up. You've got this!!

    Thank you, akb9874! I sure hope so!

    @ I love numbers! …can you share some of that love of numbers with me?

    I have been studying for a good two months now, totally thought I was getting it, got everything down in Wiley Test Bank, but now I can't seem to get out of the 60% in the Becker progress tests! AHH! This is ridiculous.

    I don't even know what to do….maybe focus on area by area until I get them all down? Testing in 25 hours and in a way I kind of want them to hurry up so I can get this over with and stop psyching myself out, and in another I want to slow time down so I can really get this stuff down!

    A 69 - 75 EXPIRED
    R 65 - 48 - 45
    F 56 - 61 - 65 - 64

    @HustlinHustlin: I do not love numbers so much right now :-/ But i feel ya….I am scoring in the 60 range and I feel the more I study, the less I retain and know! Since your test is tomorrow, I would suggest getting formulas down…and go over COSO/internal control….just a suggestion….I hope you pass!

    @Hustlin and I love numbers

    My practice test scores range from 60-74 for every section and I have still passed. Don't put so much on the practice test score that you phsyc yourself out. Also remember that the practice test counts every single question where the real exam doesn't.

    #364181

    Thanks, I always try to remember that. I haven't done the practice exam yet but will tonight as well as look as some of the AICPA released questions from 2011. I looked at the first three a few days ago and freaked out.

    I always forget how the practice exam compares to the progress tests in terms of difficulty, but I psyched myself out because aI saw that a lot of the people who passed were in the 70s-80s on the practice.

    Going to hammer out some Wiley questions and read Ninja and get back to it.

    @HustlinHustlin: Don't pay too much attention to what people claim they get on progress exams. Too many people using one study material set memorize the questions rather than the facts.

    Just took REG today for the 3rd time and my experience was that the MCQ's went fairly well or so I think…Then comes the dreaded Sims that seem to fail me on every test I take. I had 2 research questions, which were actually pretty hard and took me forever to find. I think I got them both right aka I pray I did. I'm assuming one of them is getting tossed, which means every other Sim gets graded. 2 other Sims I got 90-100% correct. The 4th sim was pretty hard and I'm 100% sure I got it them completely wrong as it was a topic I've never seen before (fun) and I just filled in anything. The last Sim was the exact same Sim I had the very 1st time I took REG. And like the 1st time, I didn't know how to do it 🙁 although I educated guessed it. The problem is there was no partial credit for this particular Sim so I'm assuming I got it completely wrong as well. So basically 4 Sims I knew (2 of which were research) and 2 Sims I pretty much got wrong. I hope I did well enough on the MCQ for a passing grade. Fingers crossed. GL to all.
