Wondering if anybody else is finding that when you get sick with something, it takes FOREVER to shake it off? I have had a sinus infection for 3 weeks (and yes, I saw a dr and did antibiotics). I get them all the time and shake them off pretty quickly but this one does not want to go. I sit next Wednesday so taking a day or two to rest is NOT an option but I will get some good sleep afterward.

Vitamin c and lots of it. Take a few hours and nap. You won't retain much if you are sick and ill rested. And being sick during the actual exam is brutal. Invest in some extra rest, it will go a long way

Yeah I was almost always sick with something when I was studying for the CPA exam. I've noticed in the two weeks since I got my passing score that my nails have gotten longer/stronger and my hair is growing more. Stress is killer.

Unfortunately I never really found a way to combat the stress, other than working out regularly. Or just taking a break occasionally to go on a 15 minute walk. It helps!

mla1699,

that is crummy, but not surprising so close to your last exam! I have the same problem when I get while studying. This past January I was sick for 4 weeks with chills, cough, congestion…finally went to the doctor and tested negative for the flu. She basically told me to get some rest…..I just rolled my eyes since I had FAR on my heels.

Let the house get messy. I would just do the bare minimum until game day outside of studying. I know that is tough with a family. best of luck to you……I am rooting for you!
