Since we’re all near the end of this testing window I assumed a power week was appropriate! Who’s in?

Today, I’m hitting my weak areas so that I can take BEC down next Wednesday!

EELCPA – I like doing the practice sessions. I do 20 MCQs on each session, mixing it up with all and then per section that I'm weak on. I look at the report it gives you, to see my weaknesses.

Started sitting in May 2002, on and off. But since 2008 I've been nonstop and my scores are....
AUD - 39, 48, 56, 65, 68, 73, 76!!! (Finally passed in Oct 2011!!!) Becker, NINJA, & Wiley
REG - 75 (Lost Credit) 72, 68, 73, 75 (Passed again in Aug 2011) Becker, NINJA, & Wiley
FAR - 65, 68, 75 (Lost Credit) 68, 73, 73, 80 (Passed again in May 2012) Roger, NINJA, & Wiley
BEC - 65, 68, 71, 72, 72, 71, 76 (Lost Credit)- 70, 76!!!! I AM DONE!!! - Roger, NINJA, & Wiley
After 10 long years of studying, I AM DONE!!!! Finally a Licensed CPA in the State of New York!!

@ashelyh Take this with a grain of salt, but I would highly consider punting the videos at this point and just working a ton of MC questions. AUD is so much memorization, and there aren't really a lot of ways they can ask the questions. The test is all memorization, there are no calculations, so you can make a lot more hay at this point by hammering questions rather than watching videos. With the limited amount of time left, it would probably be the best use of your time.

@EEL Thank you for the support, I am really hoping to have this knocked out. I saw in another thread about your score, keep your head up! We will all be there soon!

BEC - 11/25/08-61, 8/31/09-76*, 2/24/12-76
AUD - 2/21/09-53, 8/31/10-60, 11/30/11-83
REG - 11/30/09-68, 5/31/12-79
FAR - 8/29/11-81

IL Ethics - 93

LKJWEOIJBLKJSDFIJ, didn't pass FAR. I'm supposed to take BEC next week but I'm feeling less confident right now. Partly because of the FAR score and the other part because I know that I can improve A LOT on some of my most recent BEC practice sessions. I'm kind of feeling like I should push BEC to July and then hit FAR again right afterwards……………………I wish someone would just tell me what to do so that I don't have to make the decision lol

@EELCPA

Don't feel discouraged! Keep going strong. Just do what you know you need to do for yourself. 🙂

We're half way through the week—how's everyone doing?! I took today off and let my mind rest…I wouldn't normally do this so close to my exam date but trust me I NEEDED to take a break. Yesterday was so stressful and I just needed a “me” day. Tomorrow through Monday I'll come back strong and hit the Ninja Notes and MCQs. I hope everyone is doing great this week! 🙂

EELCPA – I took last night off and tonight. Did a little cleaning tonight. My Aunt is coming in this weekend from Michigan. She'll be coming over on Friday night to visit with me. Besides that I'm planning on studying tomorrow, Friday morning, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Then FAR is going down Tuesday afternoon!!!

Keep on studying everyone! I am hoping to get done with my 5/8 module tonight. I kind of messed my schedule up today. My grandma & sister were in town from different states and I went to get dinner with them and spent almost 3 hours with them. It was nice to see them, but omg I could have got a lot of study done too!! It sucks that my exam is so soon. I feel like lots of family events keep popping up, and it's hard to balance that and my studying. So happy the 3 day weekend is coming. I will get a lot done! Tomorrow I will hopefully get through module 6. I will be on little sleep for now! 🙁

@jomarie, where do you live? I'm from Michigan too—your aunt is missing out on some fabulous Memorial Day weather! 🙂 I'll be kid-free from Friday afternoon to Monday night…this NEVER happens!! Can't wait to do some hardcore studying lol

@Ashley, if anymore family events pop up just say no! 🙂 That's what I'm doing…I know we both didn't pass FAR this last time and I'll DIE if I have to retake TWO exams. Good luck studying this weekend! 🙂

I'm still in, I now have all decks cleared for 6 days of studying with just a few hours off for working next week.

I actually feel calm. Passing or not passing, I have learned so much and the bulk of Far is behind me. Now is for the fine tuning…

Hang in there everyone, I'm rooting for you all!

AUD in 6 days….target acquired, destroy at will

@EELCPA – I live in the Niagara Falls area. Every May my Aunt does a New York tour. She starts out in Rochester, NY then comes back to the Buffalo Area. My Dad lives in the Buffalo area. So when her and my Uncle stay with him, they come visit me for a little bit as well. Where do you live? She lives near Port Huron area.
