@ Peanut

Any way you could move up your exam? I have pushed both my sections to the wire and am now doing it for my third. I can't imagine what finishing the studying I want to finish would feel like. I'm so glad for you.

I'm in for the week. I have to finish 3 chapters today to stay on schedule. Pretty sure it's physically impossible.

AUD - 88
FAR - 90
REG - 85
BEC - 88

@Katie, it costs 85 bucks to reschedule. And I'd kick myself in the @ss if I failed after moving it! I still have to do the Becker exams, work the marked questions in Wiley, go through the Gleim questions—but this is all extra.. I've been done going through all the material a couple times for a bit now.

Which exam are you working on now?

AUD 81 (X4) Previous scores 59, 72, 72
REG 80 (X3) Previous scores 59, 60
FAR 75 (X2) Previous score 67
BEC 79 (X2) Previous score 58

Oh yeah, … I've moved a couple of appointments, but for some reason I was thinking of it as a punishment for not being ready to sit rather than just a charge to change your appointment. It sounds like you'll be more than ready and then you'll be done. That's soooo great and we will all cyber-celebrate.

I'm working on REG right now, and the chapters are Blaw, so at least it's not a lot of calculations. I wanted to have a whole day for each tax chapter so I can really concentrate on them, and then have a day of review, so I'm kind of cramming the Blaw to see if I can get it all in. From what I can tell from other people's test experiences, it's a crap shoot if you even get much Blaw, but I want to cover it at least somewhat to give myself a chance.

AUD - 88
FAR - 90
REG - 85
BEC - 88

@Marivy22

Good luck today!!!!!

@Peanut

sounds like you are ready! Gooooo Peanut!! the only suggestion I was going to make was to move up your exam, but …ouch $85 bucks!! OT, have you heard back on your phone interview?

@JoMarie

10 hours is great during busy season!!

@Misanthrope

Have a great study day today, and knock it out of the park tomorrow!!! Good luck!

@katiekanton

I think your strategy is smart. You never know how much you will get, but from the CSO's you shouldn't get over 17-21%, well, at least that is what they say!! You still have a full 7 days….you can doooo it!!! Keep it up!

~~~~

End of the window approaching, finish strong, and keep the faith!!! ( I feel like a hippocrite on that one, because I am losing faith as each day goes by. I read other posts on REG experiences, and think that I bombed it–UGH!!, but I know I am a wacko, so ignore me !!) Study like you have never studied, and put this exam behind you!!! Have a great day guys!!

[Peanut]

@Katie, Yeah the entire exam is pretty much a crap shoot, so I would treat everything equally. You never know what you're going to get!

@Yankee, Yes I did! I have the office interview on the 29th of this month.

AUD 81 (X4) Previous scores 59, 72, 72
REG 80 (X3) Previous scores 59, 60
FAR 75 (X2) Previous score 67
BEC 79 (X2) Previous score 58

@Peanut – On the Wednesday before my BEC exam, I moved my test up from Monday to Friday morning because I felt ready and didnt want to have to study over the weekend. I paid the money, took the exam, and got an 86. If you really think you are ready, it might help to move the exam up. Only you know how you are feeling though. Do whatever feels right, but I wouldnt let the $85 make the decision for you. Being best prepared for the exam is what is most important.
