My advice….do some magic and get motivated now. If you don't get this think out now, the CPA is going to follow you for many years to come.

Done 😉

Write down all the reasons you want to be a CPA on a sheet of paper. Print out enough copies of it to cover up your window to the outside world.

Problem solved!

Update –

I as feeling very unmotivated… so i left Barnes and Noble (one of my favorite study spots)

went to a local park, walked around for an hour, no phone, just by myself to clear my head.

Feel so much better!

Came up with a plan on how to start my restudy (starting from the beginning and do every Becker problem over again) and just man up and do this ish.

Great posts by the way.

@senker i would recommend supplementing Becker with Ninja Notes (if you haven't already). Becker's explanations are sometimes complex and lengthy. Jeff's explanations tend to be short and to the point. good luck.

I've got one more to go and was having a hard time as well. I started at the beginning and took on a small amount at first but am doing them in their entirety (vids, mcq, reading…making note cards). It giving me a better sense of accomplishment. Just needed something to prime the engine. I'm back being motivated…I got a 71 last time and now can see the light at the end of tunnel. Man i can't wait for this to be over!!!!! good luck everyone!

I finally passed FAR on my third try…not by much, but I passed. What worked for me was to put everything else aside for 6 weeks…family (husband, I have no kids), work (I worked as little as possible with the approval of my boss), email (checked it rarely), phone (got rid of voice mail….I'll answer it again on the first ring in 6 weeks. Nobody THAT IMPORTANT was leaving me voice mails anyway). I had only one focus, FAR. It's hard to be that intensely focused for 6 weeks, but had I done it the first time around, I would have been done last summer rather than this spring. (I used Becker the first two times and switched to CPAExcel and the Wiley test bank for the third go 'round). Now I'm just waiting on my certificate from the board.
