I have FAR scheduled for May 29, feeling better as the review days go on, but need to have a solid Memorial Day weekend of studying to hammer everything home. How is everyone doing with their respective exams? What are you taking and how are you feeling about it?

I am taking BEC on the 31st and am kind of sweating it. So far I am not sure why people always say this is the easiest. It is looking pretty difficult for me. It is my last exam so hopefully I can get motivated and pass….

I'm right on schedule…and by right on schedule I mean i'm panicking as usual. I usually start reviewing and score poorly on the MCQ's. Things don't start clicking for me until maybe a week before the exam.

AUD - 65, 89!
REG - 70, 89!
FAR - 78!
BEC - 77!

Finally!

I am taking my last section (REG) on 5/27. I am a tax person and I think this section is pretty tricky, so I ramped up my study time after about one week from 20 hours a week to 30+ hours per week. It is killing me and I am pretty much just living on coffee, but I would rather put in the extra time than have to retake in July. Just the thought of that makes me want to vomit. Thanks for asking and good luck everyone! Thank goodness for the long holiday weekend!

AUD 2/3/14, 90

I'm taking AUD on May 29th. If I study around 5 hours today, tomorrow, and Wednesday, I should be able to wrap up A5 and finish A6 right before scores are released on Thursday. Then I have a full week to go back and re-read the book (I forget so much about reviews and compilations and exactly what has to go into what report), do progress tests, and try the final practice tests.

I feel like I'm getting this stuff fairly well. 75-90% on homework the first time through for almost every topic. Transaction cycles are definitely the hardest part so far, but after, like, 180 questions that talked about them, they're starting to become pretty understandable.

FAR: May 1st, 2014 - 91
AUD: May 29th, 2014 - 97!
BEC: July 16th, 2014 - 91

For FAR I did both. I left myself a week and a half for final review and drilled 30-queston progress tests across all the sections for a couple of hours each day. I also went through all the AICPA released questions, which totaled to be around 400 questions.

I did the first FAR practice exam a week before the test but procrastinated on the second one and did that the day before the test. I think it was all helpful, though.
