    cpa journey – I told the lady that she could just upload the video files to the internet and I could download them, but she said she didn't know if that was possible. I guess she is on the eastcoast so it is midnight…hopefully tomorrow they can upload the files. Since people can order the files on a thumb drive, they should be able to upload them very easily on the internet for me to download.

    mponi – wow I really, really, really looked forward to any inventory questions. It was a subject that I grasped the best. Unfortunately I didn't get many.

    wow financeguy you just made me feel sooo much better lol. I realize that every exam is different and knowing my luck I will end up with a simulation on it…but I just honestly don't see how they could even ask calculation questions on them because they are very time consuming. A theory question I can see though. I just hate inventory…

    I wish i had all 90 questions on inventory… =) I was in the Supply Chain Management / Inventory Management for 5 years. =) I am dreading the next 6 weeks of FAR review. BAH~!!! I am going to burn all DVDs/Books/Notecards as a celebration after I pass this beast.

    Thinking about purchasing Jeff's notes as well… I can add it to my “burn” list. =)

    (j/k about the burning part btw… I'll prolly just throw them in a box and store them in the garage full of junk).

    So it is 12:52 a.m. in MA right now and I should probably go to bed now because I will sleep until 11…I feel like I am trapped in that Groundhog Day movie and the day just keeps repeating itself OVER AND OVER AGAIN. aaaah.

    I am gonna skip inventory for now and go back to it after I have covered a lot of the other information. Then I can spend more time on it later. Goodnight everybody!

    Sleep well MPoni. I know exactly what you are talking about! Find the motivation to push through the final few days! I dont even want to consider what the feeling will be like knowing we can put away the material for good!

    My wife just came home and turned on “Jersey Shore”.

    She asked if I wanted to join, but I said I'll take Peter Olinto on B5, not much difference from the Jersey Shore kids anyways….. 🙂

    @Idrathergolf – thanks! I am not sleeping yet lol (almost 2 a.m.) but I am ready for bed so that counts! 🙂 I just can't wait until September when we know FAR scores have been released and we are frantically hitting F5. Not gonna lie I almost like that feeling and going through it with everybody as sick as that sounds! lol I will FREAK if the page refreshes and there it is…my passing FAR score. I can only imagine…

    @italianCPA – I love the Jersey Shore!! Peter Olinto is more of a New Yorker than a Jersey guy…but I don't know if there is a difference?? lol

    Morning guys!! Sorry I do not come on at night to take part in your fun (too busy studying I guess lol), read through all the posts I missed though (another great/slow friday @ work).

    Inventory? I would love an inventory simulation, would def. prefer it over a consolidation!!! I reviewed through Fixed Assets in Yaeger last night, making flashcards (same as re-writing notes as I probably will not look at the flashcards again) for modules 7-9. I feel like I could def, answer 90% of questions in those modules.

    I had a “lightbulb” moment last night… we do not need to know EVERYTHING!! we just need to know more than 52% of the people taking the test. I would like to think that there are many people (25%) that are just trying to squeeze it in this period and thinking if they fail they have one more shot before it changes… Maybe it's just me, but it helps me to stay confident…

    On the docket tonight is modules 10-14 (flashcards and MCQ's)!! Then hopefully Saturday 15-20 (flachcards and MCQ) – that will be a LOOOOOONG day. On Sunday – practice tests and more review. Monday (I think I have to work… was going to take it off, but I was just assigned a huge project…) so it will be more MCQ's when I get home, YAY!!!

    BEC: 73,81(7/6/2010); AUD: 75(5/24/2010); FAR: 76(8/31/2010); REG: 77 (10/18/2010) - DONE!!!!

    @italianCPA – he has a major Bronx accent!! lol

    @Trevor – I should be taking your advice and not posting so much on here while I should be studying haha

    I guess I am not so much worried with the simulations because clearly from reading everybody's posts that some people never even finished the simulations and were still able to pass…so I guess my concern is WC and the MCQs. You are definitely doing awesome in your review!! I got to Module 8 last night (inventory) and it scares me so I stopped lol. I am gonna skip it and come back to it later.

    I will be back later on today to update everybody on the progress! Hopefully I have made some…

    I took FAR total 2 times and one test had little to none inventory and the other had a lot. So known them methods! About sims, I wouldn't worry too much cause if u know the concepts, u will do fine. I guessed half one my first one and lucked out on the second. Good luck on your exam!
