    I’m on F9 with a FAR September 8 exam date. I’m trying to finish up in the next few days then do the Becker Final Review. What worked for you?

    Ya I know Becker says to do them 1-2 weeks prior to your exam but I've always done mine a day or two before. More so just to get my brain into ‘testing' mode right before the exam.

    I try to take my exams on Fridays or Saturdays. So I take the first mock exam the Sunday before and the second mock exam the day before.

    I tried to plan my study schedule with 3 weeks left to review and do the mock exams. With full time work and 2 kids and life I'm now down to 15 days left and on F9. It didnt work out as I planned. I'm off work in 15 minutes and so excited to study!

    I took the entire week off from work the week of my exam 9/8/17. I'm so happy I did this. I know you guys know the feeling.

    I'M ON MY WAY TO A CPA!

    I always took the first one about a week before the exam, which allowed me to see if there were any particular areas in which I was struggling. The second one I would usually take the night before the exam. From what I understand, the second exam is notorious for being more difficult than the first, so if I came anywhere near where I did on the first I felt confident that I used that week to my advantage.

    R - 10/8/2016
    B - 12/10/2016

    I try to follow Becker recommendation as I am afraid if I take it the night before the exam, I will psych myself out.

    I usually take both 2-3 days from my exam. In my past experience, becker mocks do not do a good job of flushing out my weak points at all, so I didn't see a point of taking it too early or before my review. I usually take it 2-3 days before just for fresh MCQs to do more than anything.

    I'll do one 5 or 6 days before the exam and another 2 or 3 days before just to get an idea of what I can expect for my actual score.
