I don’t think I’ve ever been so stressed in my life. I passed AUD after one fail, REG after two fails, and BEC the first try. I lose BEC February 18th, I take FAR February 15. I have done nothing but study for the last year and a half of my life which will seemingly never end. Ever. I’ve seriously contemplated just cancelling my exam Saturday just so I don’t have to think about it. At this point I’m so fed up with studying and worrying that I’m not sure passing will give me enough gratification to make up for all the hatred I have for these things. I am just now finishing the last chapter of my Becker FAR review. I have gone through the MC and simulations for chapters 1-6 twice and I plan to review chapter 7 before my test. I feel like I can’t remember anything and it’s unbelievably frustrating when you think you’ve got things down and then Tim Gearty randomly mentions the acquisition method journal entries and you realize you don’t remember that at all. Cue me flipping off my computer and Tim Gearty again, again, again, again, again, and again. I feel like every day is a work day and I have zero confidence in myself right now. In need of encouragement.

Your best bet is to spend your last 5 days on government and not for profit (ch 8 and 9). Don't worry about 10 at this point. Push yourself hard these last 5 days,

I spoke to an ancient wise man who sent me on a mushroom induced journey through an ancient forest to find the key to passing the CPA exam. A talking spider monkey told me to throw the last of my drinking water in the dirt to find what I was looking for. So I followed his instructions and the following message appeared in the soil:

"Do 5000 multiple choice questions for each section"

I have not taken FAR but this is what I feel you should do from the knowledge I have from reading other peoples experience.

1. Write and re write all the JE's Remember the SIM's are going to be mostly JE's so be very comfortable.

2. Make sure you are a master on the following topics as they seem to be the most commonly tested. Govt Accounting, NFP, Pension and Bonds.

3. For all the other topics make sure you have locked down the concepts.

Lately for the remaining days – just do as many questions as possible in each topic. Make your little pointers.

If you have Jeff's Audio – then listen to that as I am a stronger believe Jeff's constant voice in my head had been the key to reinforcing the material. I think he is 10 time better to listen to than Tim G.

Lastly and most importantly – stop feeling negative. It will only bring you down and distract you from your ultimate goal which is to pass the CPA exam.

There are people here would had 3 exams done and fail the last one to go back to one done and 3 to go. They picked up the pieces and now they are CPA's. Don't give up. You can do it.

Good Luck!
