    Ugh. I'm planning a big celebratory vacation in August to NZ and Australia, and maybe Indo (my fav area of the world!) and doing all the actual booking and such after I pass… BUT I CAN'T STOP LOOKING AT STUFF NOW! It's so tempting and fun and I love it and I wanna go now and I hate FAR and it's hard and boring and annoying and gross.

    Sigh. 100 questions dealing with Income Statements then I can look at flights again!

    AUD: 84
    REG: 84
    BEC: 79
    FAR: 83

    @samdiego–I understand that! We booked a cruise for September. I want to look at excursions and explore the ship online, etc. It's hard, but you'll be done after this one. 🙂 I still have REG to go. 🙁

    @CPAmommyof3 and @brittney great plan you have 🙂 thanks for the tips. Im in the car listebing to pensions right now. Gov and nfp are my fav I get them the most due to their limited calculation problems. Everything else for me is a big mess. I do notice some audio and notes info pop up when I do wiley mcq but too lityle for me to get them right. Im hoping I spend more days in the offoce this week than at a client so I can do many mcq and write down nuggets. But for my commutes its been audio and notes all the way. I still need to rewrite ifrs and nfp at some point before 2/18 which is exam day. I pray notes and audio help me get to 75! Thanks for the study tips and advice keep it coming!

    @HopefulCPA & @CR7

    Yes, I've done both of the final exams. about a 65-70% average for each :-/

    I'm doing 100 MCQ per day… if I have enough time then I'll do 100 in one sitting, it all differs day-to-day with my busy schedule. I'm in audit, so its hard to set a strict schedule/plan. I think your approach will definitely pay off for you on exam day.

    The final exams are intimidating but I think they're a good, structured way to help prepare for exam day conditions, so I'm definitely pro-final exams if you have the time to sit and do at least one before exam day… those combined with the comprehensive progress test allow me to pin-point my weaknesses (which are still Pensions & Marketable Securities) Lord! I'm going into exam day hoping for divine intervention because I still don't know this stuff like the back of my hand.

    I would say to keep at your current plan and try not to freak out…

    AUD - Passed (4/2015)
    BEC - Passed (5/2016)
    FAR - Passed (2/2015)
    REG - (Retake 8/2016)
