    Jpowell, Good luck this week. Take a brain break, your brain will thank you. I've learned a bunch from you guys so far this study session and if what you guys share is a reflection of your overall knowledge, I think this group is going to do well. Chin up, eyes focused 🙂

    Hey all, my exam is next Tuesday (omfg) and starting to feel the overwhelming stress! I wasted so much time in the beginning of my studies watching the super boring Gleim videos and not focusing.. But I did fill 5 legal pads with notes. I slacked off and extended both far and aud from what I originally planned. I finally sped through the last 5 sections and started to hit the wiley mcqs.. I'm trying to get a 70% on each section before I move on, taking sets of 20 I haven't seen yet if possible. It's been 6 days of straight mcqs w a few Sims and I've only cleared 11 out of 25 mcq sections .. Gone through roughly 600 mcqs. my time on Wiley says about 35 hours, but I've been studying 8-14 hrs a day the past week doing mcqs and stopping whenever I need to go re learn a concept. I think I'm getting bogged down in the details because I like to understand something 100% before I move on.. I also made a flashcard for every wrong Mcq so I've got a ginormous stack to review. I think notecards helped me keep up my 4.0 so I'm really hoping they pull through for me again. Also listening to ninja audio every night in bed, anything to help, right? Anyway, I'm wondering what I should do to speed up my process in these last 6 days and stop myself from falling into a spiral of self doubt O.o I've always been a pretty good test taker, although sometimes I take too long… But I have this fear of going in on test day and having my mind just go completely blank 😮

    @iggy. I would keep up with the MCQs, sims and notes. You just need to make a schedule that works best for you and mix and match all the material. Do a practice exam today see where you are at, because you definitely need that experience so you get a feel for the thing. Just keep moving fwd.

    good idea, I'll do a practice exam after work because I haven't done that yet. Maybe 30 random MCQ and a few sims? I feel like if I did 90 I would forget what I did on the questions when I go back to review them haha – I love study mode for getting instant feedback

    Hi Iggy! I am also the 19th and having the same anxiety. I like to do 30 MCQ in random mode as slowly as need be, take notes, rework the questions and then get up, walk around and say outloud the biggest issues I had during those questions. I'm finding that I'm narrowing down to some specific concepts that keep tripping me up. Then I spend a bit of time tracking down the answers. I can't spend too much time, since I have a tendency to over research and get side-tracked on minutiae.

    Rinse and repeat.

    thanks everyone. i'm a rollercoaster over here. one minute nailing things, the next drawing complete blanks. i agree that breaks are important and have been taking them but it's difficult with limited time left knowing i need to get some things down. my bad omens are piling. my computer wouldn't flinch today for about an hour and my work emails had piled up. slept about 4 hours last night after i dreamt i failed then had to walk into my appraisal and cried haha…the weird thing is the first email i got this morning was checking when i would be back in office as my appraisal is next week.

    husker…everyone will say something different. i skipped it my first time around (along with all optional questions and IFRS). IFRS is important for sure..the rest may not be as important but i've heard at least one story where they regretted skipping the chapter so…!

    i do know now it's impossible to remember everything. i know people keep saying that. but i think i got comfortable with everything in the other exams and now i've focused so much on each section i've lost crucial concepts along the way so some stuff has got to give anyway (at least for me…but maybe i enjoyed college too much..my brain doesn't function the same anymore lol). praying very hard for some luck for all of us! rooting for all of you come score release day
