So what’s everyone’s plans for this week? Mine is to do a final review but so far the week is not starting off on a good foot.

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!!

Oh welll!!! My fight with MCQ's. Since I was comfortable, and starting to memorize Becker's MCQ's I just switched to Wiley…and oh boy…….it is like starting over. I will keep working on them and reading the explanations. Hopefully, I will be in good shape for next Monday…So far I have completed 120 MCQ's with a score in the low 70's. I used the same strategy for AUD and it worked, it is always good to see another style of wording and many more MCQ's.

Wish me Luck!!!

Done 😉
Class of 2012!!!!
Lots of prayers and hard work....

Starting to panic on FAR. I know I still have 3 weeks but I feel like that is not enough time to get through all of this material. Its just a tad overwhelming!

@Peanut,

It is funny how the exams are so different for all of us?! My favorite to study for out of all of them was BEC….then FAR. They make the most sense to me. Anyhow, liking the subject matter is a great thing!!

@marivy

Glad the Day of the Three Kings was fun! I totally agree with you that using multiple testbanks is smart. I always hit that wall after I finish Becker and start Wiley. Keep up the pace, sounds like you are on a roll. Good luck.

@JoMarie,

I hope you are feeling better soon. Pushing your exam is a good idea, piece of mind is invaluable. Get rest!!

@Rmm91909,

Ok, no psyching yourself out! You have plenty of time, and you will get through it. I know that we hear this alot on the forum, I don't think I have ever said it, but here goes my first: If I can pass FAR, YOU can pass FAR. Seriously. If you are starting to feel uneasy, grab an extra hour a day—I know, a tough one, but find those 60 minutes. If you did that 5 days a week, that is an extra 15 hours for your exam. You can do it. I know you have alot of people on this forum rooting for you……you got this!

MyLifeisCPA, Pistol Pete, Misanthrope and everybody else out there—- Finish strong! It ain't over till its over baby!

Well I'm back!!!! It's amazing what lack of sleep will do to you. After I made my post yesterday, I went to bed and slept for 6 hours!!! Thank goodness I put my alarm on, I was almost late to pick up the girls at daycare.

I pushed back my exam until Feb 6th. That gives me about 3 1/2 weeks to study my little heart away. My plans are to do as many MCQs as possible and rewrite Jeff's NINJA notes. My cram with Roger is going to expire on the 15th of January, but I still have Roger's regular course to fall back on, if I'm stuck on anything.

Anyways, I'm off to get ready for my day. Off to work I go, then come home and study my little heart away. FAR is going down!!!

@JoMarie

Glad to hear you're feeling better. FYI-Try calling Roger and tell them you changed your exam date, they will probably extend your cram. It doesn't hurt to ask! GL

[rmm91909]

Thanks Yankee! I know I am totally psyching myself out. I had a fellow co-worker tell me I am not allowed to move my test date. His reasoning was, why so I can take it in February when I am knee deep in work and forget everything I learnt? Guess it makes sense. Maybe I will switch over to Jeff's 20 day plan. I have F6-9 left and trying to do every single becker problem is taking me a life time. Maybe sets of 20 would be the way to go.

@jomarie, I am glad you are feeling better…it is amazing how much we need sleep. I read on this forum people who do not sleep much and study all night and I just can't do that, after so much time my brain turns to mush and I do no good!

[rmm91909]

pacific I agree I need my 8 hours. I couldn't study until 2 AM and wake up at 6 to study. I would never get anything in life accomplished.

Now I have an ear infection!!!! Some power week. I should call it power sick week!

@jomarie,

My recommendation a good antibiotic and a huge bowl of root vegetables soup with a piece of chicken inside………go to a latin supermarket ask somebody how you can do a “sancocho” and that is magic LOL That's my medicine when I am sick, it worked for me 3 days before my AUD test……I hope you get better soon!!!!

Done 😉
Class of 2012!!!!

Scotty, I need warp speed or we're dead!!!!! Well, that is how I feel when I get down to the last review week!

@JoMarie, I hope you are feeling better!

@marivy–that soup sounds deliciosa!~~~~

I hope everybody out there is doing well. Put the car in “Let's kick some ass gear” hehehe. I can't be responsible for what I say anymore……Audit has completely taken over my brain. Kinda like Alien.

[jomarie]

I guess I'm starting to feel better. Not sure yet. Been having insane coughing fits.

Well I had my hubby stop at the dollar store for me yesterdayand buy me some notebooks so I can start rewriting Jeff's notes. So my plan for the weekend is to start rewriting the notes and work on endless MCQs.
