Less than 36 hours till the exam – can’t believe it’s so close. Doing last section tonight (cash flows). My plan for tomorrow:

Review my notes + ninja notes (this will take a while as I have a lot of my own notes)

Review GAAP v. IFRS

Look over all the SIMs (not actually work through them)

Look over recently released AICPA questions (for 2011, 2012, and 2013)

Random mcqs as needed for anything that seems confusing or I always get wrong

Any last minute tips? Thoughts on the plan for tomorrow?

R - 74;88

F - no study = 67; May 15 = 87 & done

RTFQ!!!!! It'll kill you every time if you don't! Good Luck!

Definitely read the question, and save yourself at least an hour for the sims..

FAR (5/07/13): 96

@mangos, my goal will be to have 1.5hrs for SIMs if not more, depending on how mcqs go. Getting nervous!!

Watch your timer. Allocate enough time for sims. Do not rush nor stall. Get moving and be confident in yourself, you are prepared!

Good luck!

You'll do great! I find that confidence (whether real or faked) helps me think more clearly through the exam and pass!

Does anyone have the 2013 aicpa released questions with explanations? I have the ones without from Becker. Didn't find anything when I googled it. Thanks.

memmy – this is the link to the 2013 ones. What's interesting from the 2011 and 2012 questions is that these are rated “moderate difficulty” per Becker (didn't check AICPA).

memmy I found a good cash to accrual example. Look at question 15 in the 2011 aicpa released questions (link above).

Bump anyone else?

I'm sort of freaking out. Feeling less and less confident. Trying to imagine myself next Wed reporting back with a passing score but it's not really helping 🙁

@Tina…thank you for the specific link with the cash to accrual basis. I've been looking for something like that!

Not having taken ANY part of the exam yet, the only advice I can offer is to make SURE you get enough sleep the night before. I've been having trouble sleeping (a 15 month old with a could that wakes me almost every hour of the night with a hacking cough), and the lack of sleep has just made studying much harder.

Good luck, you will do great!
