Sorry everyone that I’m starting this thread a little late this weekend…..I’ve been running around since I woke up at 7am this morning and haven’t stopped until now!! Things great crazy between seeing Santa arrive at the mall (they put on an annual show), going grocery shopping, and taking my older daughter to Toys R Us for b-day party shopping for a friend of hers from her school.

So how’s everyone doing with their studies this weekend???

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!!

Becker – I think I may be more of a reading type person than a watching taped lectures type person…the lectures were fine, but I preferred the reading.

Also using Wiley online test bank.

Also have NINJA notes.

@Acct – I think with the material you have you are fine. Reasons I'm using the cram is 1.) I already passed FAR in 2009 and I don't see much difference between then and now, except for IFRS. 2.) I ran out of time watching the regular lectures. After today, I'm not going to watch anymore lectures and just nail out MCQs and reover NINJA and CRAM book notes.

When are you sitting? I'm sitting on the 25th.

I'm sitting on the 30th…

Although there is a cancellation fee, maybe they would waive it since the shipment's still in transit and I didn't access the videos yet. It's not supposed to come for another few days anyhow (scheduled to arrive the day before the exam! Maybe the delay because of Thanksgiving…) so I guess I'll cancel it. I would probably want to spend the last couple of days before the exam working on mcqs, anyhow.

Better pass BEC this time.

@Pacific,

I am totally broke, shouldn't have spent the money (that I don't have), but took a leap of faith.

I am burnt. I am crispy. I am going to get in about 4 more hours and then quit. I am seeing progress, hooray, it would really suck if I started to regress. It would be super helpful though, if I didn't have a fight with my hubby just about every day.

But, gotta finish strong! Hope you guys are too!

@yankeeaccountant

Whoohoo!! You can do it! It's great that you're seeing progress!!

Hope you pass this time and get it over with! I think we're all ready to have study-pressure-less lives again – as CPAs!!

We can do it!

@Acct – Call them first thing in the am and explain the situation. Maybe they'll refund it??

@Jomarie

Thanks. I submitted my question on Roger's website, so hopefully they'll contact me about it tomorrow.

[jomarie]

OMG…just finished watching all of Roger's lecture videos……now onto endless MCQs until D-Day…oops…mean E-Day!!

🙂 Good for you!

Just 2 1/2 hours left to the weekend…

[yankeeaccountant]

@Acct,

Thanks for the pump! But actually, I did another test and then regressed! UGH. I took a test in Wiley and chose “questions not yet seen”–those are always tough, but I guess I wasn't up to the challenge. That was a bummer. So, I have at least 3 more hours tonight. I want to go to bed feeling positive, not crappy!

Sounds like you are moving along. And you still have a decent amount of time to study. Great job! Keep it up–last dance (test) ? I think I remember that it was. You got this!

Keep up the great job everybody—kudos to JoMarie for keeping us engaged!

[Anonymous]

I hope you do better! You still have time to conquer those mcqs!

I'm a little embarrassed by how far behind I am, but I guess to each his (her) own, and this is how I study. Now that time is running out I've got more adrenaline pumping and a push to really study. I usually work better at night and used to stay up really late studying for the other exams, but lately haven't been able to do that because it was giving me trouble getting up on time for work, etc.

I hope this is the last one!! Good memory! (You're AUD and REG this window?)

I hope you and everyone else pass these exams quickly!!

[Anonymous]

Couldn't cancel the cancellation fee, and Roger offered to re-ship and get me the cram material by this Wednesday…I had to pay a drop more for quicker shipping, but they wouldn't charge me other fees (I guess for re-shipping). I figured there's more of a chance that I'll have time to watch it if it comes this Wednesday…

I hope this was a good idea.
