    Not a FAR taker anymore, but here I am starting to review B5 (and the 194 supplemental questions).

    If I can finish this tonight, I can only do final review tomorrow.

    AUD - 8/10/10 - 88

    @italiancpa – I wouldn't even bother doing the supplemental questions. I thought Becker was ridiculous for BEC and switched to Yaeger. Those long, complicated questions will not show up on the exam so I don't understand why Becker even teaches them (a lot of them are from the CMA exam)…I don't see the point – personal preference I guess.

    Well, here I am doing my final review after going through the book twice, watching all lectures, and doing all questions twice. Yet, I find myself getting dominated on these simulated exams…..I can't seem to remember all the details I drilled myself on in the past. Not feeling very confident for the 31st….

    I hear you oobaisi – I am not even going over any of the simulations because I know they won't be the same on the exam (probably about 10 times harder). I wanna worry about getting the basics down and then face the sims when I am taking the exam. It obviously helps doing the sims because it reinforces topics…but with one day left before the exam, I need to choose carefully with how I am spending my study time!

    MPoni you are not alone!

    I estimate I will be up until at least 1:45 studying…. get up at 6:30 to watch the last lecture, and head in to work around 8:30.

    I am going to be completely worthless at work tomorrow and the worst part is that I actually have some important work that needs to be done.

    REG: 5/26 - 90hrs (Pass) AUD: 7/1 - 86hrs (Pass)
    BEC: 7/22 - 72hrs (Pass) FAR: 8/31 - 56hrs (Wait)

    Yay! Happy you are still awake Idrathergolf! Tomorrow is gonna be a crappy day for you! Just think though…it's almost over!! We are in the home stretch now…I just finished pensions (totally using my notes as I do the MCQs) lol if I went back without my notes though and did them again I would get probably 90% of them correct so whatever. I just wanna get through the MCQs and whatever sticks, sticks.

    That is a good approach.

    Tomorrow when I go over notes I am not going to spend too much time on any one area. I figure if I don't understand a topic completely by now I am probably not going to by Tuesday.

    I may still be awake, but I don't think I am completely here mentally. It is only going to regress further from here. By test time on Tuesday I will be a man on a mission! One track mind!

    Okay am back I had to step out of the house and go to the park for a little exercise I felt so clogged up in my brain and nothing was making sense. Well I will be benching for another 3 hours and see if I can summarize everything by tomorrow. My level of confidence is still not where I want it to be but hopefully the almighty Father will guide us all through this painful process.

    Ya and there are sooo many topics just hope that the ones you don't fully understand you won't be tested on! I at least have a few hours on Tuesday to review as well because my exam isn't until 5:30 p.m. I will definitely be doing more MCQs and just going over stuff. I guess on to leases now…I still haven't revisited inventory! lol Maybe tomorrow I will look at it.

    yay more study friends!

    @whonis – what state are you in?! It is 12:30 a.m. here! (in MA)

    I will be up for a few more hours as well going through MCQs. Is it over yet??!! My confidence level isn't where it should be either, but how confident do people really feel going into FAR??!! People are bound not to understand everything and forget 50% of the material lol (for our sakes anyway haha)

    I really hope there's quite a bit of theory on this exam. Otherwise, I'm 100% certain I'm going to run out of time trying to remember all these calculations. Every section of every chapter as a load different calcs that need to be memorized, this is ridiculous!
