I've had my head in the WTB all day and my eyes are blurry, so take this with a grain of salt…
I think they assume 200K because at the end of year 4, the purchase commitment still has 2 years left on the contract @ a min. purhcase of 100K units per year.
The 250K still in inventory is not related to a forced purchase, but it is a stupid one 🙂 Who in the hell would buy 2.5X their committment in year one of a contract and couldn't see the part becoming obsolete within the first year? DUMB
Well good excuse to go to bed early – old WTB is down for maintenance…

Does anyone else take a long time to get to availability page on the prometric site? I always have to put in my info multiple times because I keep getting this error: Your session has expired. It is necessary for you to begin again. Annoying.
*This is my 2nd attempt at the CPA exam. For all of you who have failed this exam many times, given up on it, or taken a break like me, remember that it is still possible to finish what you started...failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently 🙂
Yes, I usually use Google chrome but have to use Internet explorer to get the site to work…

Thanks Teetee! I got it to work. My efforts of getting something the 19th or 20th were futile. I'm not sure if I should do the 18th. The problem is that it's on a Friday so no days off before the test unless I request at work and the only time is 8am! I am an afternoon test taker…I also don't want to pay if I change my mind again.

Amay: I'm afternoon on the 14th. Wasn't thrilled about the Monday but it's better than a Friday I suppose and no way I take an exam at 8am…
I would suggest to consider the time of day as a critical factor. If you know you aren't a morning test taker, you might lose more points from not being in your zone than you gain from an extra few days of studying. I know for me, I wouldnt start to really wake up until the third sim. Just something to think about…
The thread was dead last night. I lost motivation and stopped studying around 9:00. I really need to do a better job of pushing myself. In my defense I was exhausted from staying up late studying every night and had a stressful week at work. I had a typically laid back employee lose it on the floor in front of others because she was overwhelmed with having two of her coworkers on medical leave. I hate having to pull people into an office and have a “talk”, but it was necessary. It was hard not to bring up the fact that someone, who is salary, without kids, without school, that never works late and only gained a tiny bit of extra work from the missing employees shouldn't be overwhelmed and definitely shouldn't wait until she's ready to explode before she ever tells me about it. I don't understand why some people don't understand the concept of communication. It is the number one killer of a career.
@Mammabear(so glad that name stuck, haha) – I'm surprised you didnt lose it on her! I guess with having all stresses that you have on a daily basis, you have learned patience and self control. lol! They do say that the two factors of making or breaking a career is communication and networking.. clearly people must be on to something!
As for me, I finished inventory last night, scored an 87% on the section – pretty easy stuff. But I know from here on out it only gets harder. I restructured my schedule so that I am studying governmental, NFP, and Consolidations closer to my exam so that it's fresh. I have also put tax and bonds closer to the end as well. Looks like long weeks and weekends are coming up since I finished the “easy” stuff!
I'm glad Mammabear stuck too! I was forced to learn patience at work when I was put in management. Trust me, if I had my way I would have cussed out several of my employees at some point in the last 3 years and two of them are lucky that my boss is so compassionate or they would have been replaced as soon as I became their boss. Communication is #1 in my book. If you don't know how to talk to people, you aren't going to get anywhere. Of course there are exceptions, but I wouldn't want to work anywhere that had mean or cocky people above me. I absolutely believe networking is a huge factor. The more people you know, the better chances you have of getting your foot in the door somewhere. Word of mouth, even in a big city, is important. You don't want to have the reputation of being difficult to work with or for. OK–rant over.
Congrats on your inventory scores! It is my mission to master Stockholder's Equity and Pensions tomorrow because they have been my downfall on the three AICPA release sections I've taken. I agree wtih Government and NFP at the end because it's mostly memorization, but you may want to move up taxes and bonds just so you have enough time to get familiar with the JEs and calculations. I'm convinced that the more you practice those, the better you will get. I'll be here with you tomorrow…going strong from noon until noon on Sunday.
I've been thinking, if I will be able to study and master at least 1-chapter flashcards per day, along with each goal I have planned out (like studying hard or easy topic on a particular day, MCQs, etc.) on a daily basis, I should be okay till my last day of review.
