I’ve read and read so many posts here every time I study and feel I can’t. All the posts are so helpful. I finally feel like “home” where there are people who understand exactly what a CPA candidate is going through. I really want to pass FAR. I passed REG (only 1 part so far) and felt good but FAR to me is a monster. I’m studying, not slacking… I am doing everything I can… But the feelings of overwhelming by the huge amount of materials, of not going to pass, the pressure from peers at work, the tax season around the corner, that I’m ignoring all my family members… are sometimes so heavy that I want to give up. My husband has schizoaffective and I always worry about him and yet I have to beg him not to have any episode for the next 6 months… Could anyone please say something to motivate me? I really appreciate your help…

Sometimes this exam seems to sap all of our mental endurance. It takes so much time energy, often times we are putting life in general and our loved ones in a holding pattern. In the end we will have our CPA our friends and family will be happy for us and proud of us too. Perhaps we can spend a little extra time with them once this challenge has been met.

Good luck

I can totally relate. I have good study days and bad ones (like today). Seems like when I am pumped up to study, something or someone else takes precedence. I want to pass FAR so bad now I think it is getting to be a borderline, unhealthy obsession. Like you said it is a huge amount of material, and I feel like I know a little of everything but not enough to feel comfortable to ace it. Who knows that much financial accounting? All we can do is study as much as possible and give it our best shot. Like you, I have only passed one part so we have a long road ahead. I think if we can pass FAR in the next few weeks, we are almost there!

Thanks cpajourney for the support!

To the wannabe and hopeful, good luck to you too. Let's do our best and it's okay to take it again, like Jeff, the host of this website heh.
