Ok who in with me? I know a lot of people are probably taking the weekend off whether celebrating cause of passing scores or taking a few days off to recoupe from receiving failing scores, but I’m not!!!! Congratulations to those who have passed and don’t let it get you down to those who didn’t. If I can keep going after losing 3 out of my 4 credits, anybody can!

I’m sitting at the dealership waiting for my van to get an oil change with my iPhone loaded up with Wiley questions, notebook, and pencil in hand working away. After here I’m off to the library. FAR is going down on Monday!!!

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!!

Listen to Pacific! She is right. Hard to completely wipe it out, but try to harness some of the panic/anxiety tomorrow by being keyed up to hone in on those keys words that make the difference in the question. Use that adrenalin to your advantage. It is that fight or flight reaction….and you are ready to fight baby!

I also agree with Pacific about keeping things low key the day before. I have been trying to incorporate that more the last few times I have tested. Usually all I do is reread notes now. Go thru flashcards. No mcq's. This just helps me slow down, which I need, since I am kind of a nervy person anyway.

Go for it!!! 2012!!!

@Pacific–How you be? How is studying going? I think Audit is coming up pretty soon…..Ready to kick Audit, right? Right!!!

@cpastudyvictim

you are a tough chic. I try to steer clear of the Becker Final exams. I usually do 1 and that's it. For me, they are a surefire confidence killer!! And that is my weak part of test taking.

When are you going to take REG? Best of luck for your exam. I can't relax this weekend. Have to study hard, too. I have to review my notes more frequent now since I tend to forget little details of AUD here and there. Good luck everyone.

I am working on one last mini test then I think I'm going to switch modes and just read NINJA notes and Wiley focus notes for the remainder of the day. If I don't know it by now, I'm never going to know it.

@jomarie

Focus Note for FAR is good. I passed my FAR with Focus Note.

@Cpagenie

I sit on 2/14. Yikes coming up fast. Your right the devil is in the details on Audit. Which really makes sense to me because I always thought Audit was the work of the devil!!!! Good luck, have a good study day.

@JoMarie,

Ok, one adjustment, you do know it. YOU DO. You are going to walk into Prometric tomorrow and nail this exam. I believe in your signature line. 🙂

@yankeeaccountant

I was thinking to take AUD on the same day and hope the power of love on V-day will help me pass. Haven't scheduled yet, I should make my decision soon.

[yankeeaccountant]

@cpagenie

“power of love” that is great!!!!. hadn't thought about it that way! Good luck deciding….

[pacific1]

@yankee – yes, I sit for AUD on 2/28. the studying is coming along, slowly but surely. I find I have to re-read the questions several times to even see what they are asking, I do like the AUD section but I don't move too fast with it. Congrats again on your pass of AUD, any good advice? I can't even imagine how excited you must be knowing only one more test and you will be done….this journey will be over for you in a couple weeks!!!

[Peanut]

@JoMarie, I agree with Pacific & Yankee. I never do MCQ the day before an exam, for that very reason. I start to freak myself out :/ Try to take a breather, and just read your notes! You've got this JoMarie, don't psyche yourself out!!

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

Thanks guys!!! I needed that kick in the butt. Anyways that last mini test I was working on I scored an 88…..feel a little better now. But I'm going to step away from the computer before I kill it. Just me and my iphone with focus notes and NINJA notes. Maybe later tonight I'll try another mini test or two.

That Becker exam was just awful! I have been doing so well on the min-quizzes but I just bombed this test. I am not sure what the best thing for me to do today is. I feel like a should practice more multiple choices after what I just went through, even though most people think it is the worst thing the day before the test. All I know is that I will never take another Becker test again!

Finishing R8 then starting my 8 day review/ practice tests, etc.

[Marivy22]

Good Luck Jomarie!!!!!!!!!

I had a family power weekend…..no studying at all. I spent the whole weekend in Orlando with the family, celebration mode. Oh well, now 13 days for final review.

@yankee & peanut, so happy that you both passed……..and I am so happy for myself too LOL. I am half way thru, and hopefully will pass BEC on the first try this coming 19th.

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

[jomarie]

Thank you!! Good Luck to you too with your final reviewing of BEC. That's my next enemy….
