    has anyone else experienced this? at one point or another i knew all the material, now with just hours before my exam i feel like i have started to confuse myself on some topics. this isn’t my first test, in fact, im hoping its my last, but i dont know if its the nerves that are preventing me from studying or what.

    maybe im just fishing for some confidence to get me through tomorrow. at this point im going to skim through the becker book then call it quits around 4ish.

    a-pass
    b-pass
    r-pass
    f-pass

    Take the day off. Give the mind a chance to rest.

    It needs time to process the information you feed it.

    And you do want it rested when taking the exam.

    I took the day off before the exam and maybe spent an hour going over government accounting problems the day of. I definitely felt like i had more brain power as a result. The funny thing is the government accounting problems I went over didn't even help me with the exam, so I would of been better off just taking the morning off as well. I think if you have put in the long hours required for this exam then you should try to take the day before off with maybe light review. If you are not prepared then a cram session would probably help,

    I spoke to an ancient wise man who sent me on a mushroom induced journey through an ancient forest to find the key to passing the CPA exam. A talking spider monkey told me to throw the last of my drinking water in the dirt to find what I was looking for. So I followed his instructions and the following message appeared in the soil:

    "Do 5000 multiple choice questions for each section"
