I’m scheduled to take FAR (my first sitting of my first section) in 3 days. I have been studying hard for months and feel like I have a pretty good mastery of most of the material aside from some of the stuff with non-profits. I am working through the non-profit stuff again today and maybe tomorrow. I am wondering people’s thoughts on what to do to prep for the last day or two before the big day. Should I do progress tests? (I’m using Becker) Should I just rework homework multiple choice since they give immediate feedback? Obviously I’m going to reread my 10 or so pages of typed notes and my 3 legal pads full of handwritten notes several times to solidify the specific rules that are easy to forget. Any ideas/opinions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Just keep working through the Becker multiple choice questions as many times as possible. I took a lot of notes as well, but didn't really review them the few days leading up to the exam. Also, the Non-profit/ Gov are very important topics, be sure to master those.

AUD- 86
FAR- 79
BEC- 83
REG- 87

I'd review journal entries and spend an hour or two getting familiar with the codification (ie. know where the illustrative examples are). The sims are like an open book test if you know where to look.

This might help a bit. I'm definitely going to try and use this when I'm doing SIMS:

@jennibox, here's the link to the the code. Fasb offers free access that should be good enough to play around with. Pay attention to how they organize it by topic and subtopic as well as the industry specific rules.

Know the basics on NFP/Gov't. I went through the AICPA Newly Released Questions for as many years as possible and that really helped me review all sections before exam day.

FAR - 46, 79 (7/8/14)
AUD - 56, 59, 2/23/15 3rd times a charm!
BEC - 69, 74 Really??
REG - April, I hope. Fingers crossed!
