@lentil did anything you study the day before your test help you? or shall I call it a night?

@wanna

I'm happy but just tired. When you have failed a test three times, it's hard to be happy without some caution until the scores come. As Ana said, it's going to be a long wait. I'm going to be distracted though with REG studying.

BEC = 72 (6/08/16)
FAR = ?
REG = ?
AUD = ?

@Ana

I didn't do any new problems on the day before my test. I did the AICPA practice exam and there was a simulation that repeated itself from there with different numbers, names, etc. I also reviewed my notes and rewrote notes that I couldn't remember until it became permanent.

I spent the morning today praying and worshiping God (singing songs) because I'm a spiritual person, and that is the only way that I know how to relax.

@Ana ,my case is exactly opposite ,I can't move faster even if MCQ just asked what is 2 + 3 .I will have doubt ,huh why they asked this easy question ,am I missing something ,Ok let me check .but if they ask calculate the goodwill for segment I would do it without doubt.LOL
Since last time you saved 1 hour so you know your speed and as Lentil confirmed it's same level of difficulty ,you can just go little slow .That's all I am saying.Again all the best for tomorrow and will check your update too just like I checked Lentil's update.What time is your's ?

[Ana]

ok, then I'll continue I guess

[Ana]

my test is at 12:30 pm about an hour's drive away. I'll also probably end up grabbing dinner out there and drinks, I know I'll need a few stiff ones. I'll try and update you tomorrow evening. I'm sure my post will have more colorful language than lentils haha
going to go look at the sample test again per lentil's advice above. I already know which he's talking about. I had it last time.

[Wannafree]

@Ana ,okay ,after Lentil's update I wouldn't think about you whole day as not having any doubt.Will just check to see if Big CAR came or not ? More likely than not it will not .LOL .Why ? Somehow they find out and like to ask from what you have not studied in 2 MCQ testlet .LOL

@Jeff,
As to,
Ask the NINJAs: How Long to Study for FAR
https://www.another71.com/how-long-to-study-for-cpa-exam-far/
I was going to start this week. But watching a few of your Ninja Blitz lecture videos, I can't stop watching the rest of them!

I only realized (after watching and making notes for all Ninja Plus videos), that you have added the Ninja Blitz to my Sniper packages.

My guess, we're even with the BOGO sale last Black Friday (2016). Lol! You even added AUD there as well. I know I already passed AUD in 2017 Q3, but as always curious about the Ninja Blitz lecture videos. Now I know. Thanks a million!

[Lentilcounter]

@Ana I stopped studying yesterday when you said, aren't you calling it a night? Lol. Around 9PM EST.

BEC = 72 (6/08/16)
FAR = ?
REG = ?
AUD = ?

[Ana]

@lentil I was going to call it a night but then when I read ALL that you did the day before and stopped at 9pm now I'm not so sure anymore. It's 4:30pm here. But I know in my gut nothing I do today will make or break the test tomorrow yet I'm so scared.
I've done about 50 mcq, reviewed a few sims (eliminations, consolidation, carinbig), sample test, and now maybe read my notes.

[jeff]

Glad you're liking the BLITz vids, Earla 🙂

@Ana

It seems like I did a lot but I didn't. If it weren't for the AICPA practice exam and the questions I had with it, I would have been done by 6 or 7pm. Don't work too hard today. If I were you, I would call it a day.

Also, can't thank you enough for figuring out which Becker sims line up with the blueprints. I wish you were taking Reg next so you could do the same thing! 🙁

[Ana]

@lentil you've been a great support on this forum and have brought out the best in me. I'm happy to have put the blueprint notes together for everyone. It really didn't take long at all! But if you never posted it, I'd have nothing to add to on so kudos to you and your wife. I wish you were taking BEC next to type out the blueprint for me and post it here lol
I'll be forced to call it a night soon, I need to eat dinner, go to store to buy sandwich/drink/snack for tomorrow, and drive home. Been staying at my parents house (with my husband) this week (haven't done that since I've been married) so I'm sure I have a lot to get to when I get home.
Did I ever provide my REG tips to you?

[Lentilcounter]

@Ana

I can make a deal with you. 🙂 I'll type up the BEC blueprints and paste it in a thread, if you will help me with lining up Becker REG Sims with the blueprints.

Yes, you gave me some tips. Focus on the tax law stuff. Print out the tax forms. Do you think this advice still stands with the new exam?

[Ana]

@lentil don't know if you're joking but I'll take you up on that offer. Buuuut I also need access to Reg in Becker bc I only paid for Far and Bec.
DO NOT focus on law stuff like at all LOL. it's like 4 questions on all of the mcq and nothing on the sims. Thats why I failed my first time on Reg. The material is SO detailed and heavy in the Law portion that it ate up all my time while studying and reviewing. I do think it still applies to the new format. Let's see the blueprint for Reg.
