So my exam is Tuesday and on Friday I took a Becker Practice Test and scored a 66 between the MCQ and Sims (i weighted it 60/40)

I wasnt happy but i wasnt upset. I thought i would crush NINJA MCQ all day Saturday and Sunday and then take Practice Test 2 sunday night

I just took the test and got a 55 even though i feel like I learned alot over the weekend by doing NINJA MCQ

Only positive things are that I only got 4 hours of sleep last night and maybe my mental focus wasnt all there because I have been doing NINJA MCQ all weekend and maybe that is the reason for the 55

What should i do tomorrow (Monday) as my final day of preparation before the CPA exam?

Should i do more NINJA MCQ, Becker Progress Tests, Review Notes i made, skim the textbook completely?

I thought about buying Jeffs NINJA notes for REG but i cant see myself spending $67 for one day of studying and wasting so much time reading 140+ pages

Instead of the notes, I would watch blitz – which you have access to with your MCQ.

I took REG yesterday and spent a lot of time in the final few days doing becker progress tests, I felt like those helped a lot to identify minor rules or calculations that I wasn't getting right. I have only used becker so not sure about the others but for me I felt like the progress tests helped a lot and would recommend just doing as many as you can in anywhere from 40 to 60 question sets.

REG - 79 - 8/9/15
FAR - 79 - 11/25/15
BEC - 80 - 1/4/16
AUD - 80 - 2/13/16

Just to help ease your concerns, I got around a 60 on BOTH Becker practice exams and still passed REG. Don't let it get you down and keep at the studying, you can still pass.

AUD - 78
REG - 76
FAR - 82
BEC - 80

I just recently been having trouble with REG. I started studying from August 4th and have my exam on the 28th (3.5 weeks). I am studying 9-11 hours a day, 7 days a week. Also plan to start my review by this Friday. Chapter 1, 2, 3 all seemed okay, but once I got to chapter 4, it was impossible to remember anything.

@TheLumbarYard, Would you recommend taking the progress exams after every 2 chapters or do those towards the end with second round of review for the chapters. What are your thoughts

@Jeff, are the MCQs different from becker MCQs

thanks for all the help, other tips would be great as well.

FAR, 72, 72, 80

REG, 8/28

BEC, waiting for score release

AUD, 10/24 (will let app expire if need to retake BEC)

I don't know if you can read to much into my experience, but I got 40s and 50s on the second review test and I passed REG with an 80. I was going through some stuff on that day I took the practice test, so I don't know how much that influenced it. I feel that the first practice exam has more testable material. It is more important that you know the material, the real exam will not be like the practice ones.
