    First, I would take a deep breath =) With a week and a half to go, I'd be thrilled with consistent 80s.

    I think most people would agree that reviewing MCQs ad nauseum is the best way to prep for test-taking.

    When you say stuff isn't sticking… are there certain areas that you feel you are weakest in? I would go back to that chapter and review notes, re-write notes, and maybe even just read the whole chapter again. Sometimes going back to basics really helps things solidify.

    If you can't think of a certain area you're particularly uncomfortable with, go ahead and just read through your book's table of contents. See if you can recite from memory the major points of each chapter. If you can't… read it again. I absolutely love the Einstein quote “If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.” It's honestly has helped me so much in my studying!! K.I.S.S.!!

    AUD: 82
    FAR: 78
    BEC: 75
    REG: 8/1 score release!!

    If you are using Becker and tend to memorize answers (like I do), it would be great to complete MCQs from other sources like free source at cpareviewforfree and double check and keep fresh your knowledge.

    Good luck on the exam!
