Ok guys those of us that failed, let’s dust ourselves off and get prepared for a POWER WEEKEND. I have found that these posts help me and hopefully others to stay focused and determined.

I am picking up with FAR. This is my third day studying and I feel hopeful. I have my Ninja Notes, Ninja Audio and Wiley Test Bank all ready to go. I can say that I am already getting tired of Jeff’s voice (no offense). He has a nice voice but it is still CPA material which can make the best things miserable. So lets hear it every one. What is your plan for the weekend?

Friday: Several MCQ practice quizzes (3 of 1 mil already done), Audio during work and note taking

Saturday: Go to the UH Library and take a Practice test; Review Practice Test; Several MCQ practice quizzes

Sunday: Several MCQ practice quizzes, Ninja Audio, Review Ninja and Personal Notes

I'm back. Dangit!!! Started studying for BEC again last night after receiving my 72 yesterday. Starting over from scratch like I have never taken it but so far it seems that I still have a lot of the info I learned before. So, digging deeper and trying to get a better understanding of each topic for this go round. My study plan for the weekend:

Friday lunch: Work through the first section of the Wiley book

Friday night: MCQs in ExamMatrix

Saturday: 4 hours – One hour in the Wiley book and the remainder on MCQ's in ExamMatrix

Sunday night: 2 hours – One in Wiley book and one on ExamMatrix

I have already identified some areas where I need to do extra work and refine the things I have learned. I am coming for you in October BEC, just you wait!!!!

AUD 4/12/12 79
FAR 5/29/12 76
REG 8/2/12 82
BEC 8/30/12 72 Retake 10/18/12 76!!! DONE!!!!

Today – leases and deferred taxes. Then this weekend is all about government and not for profit!!! YEAH fun times ahead!!! 🙂 I need to do the bond questions again…some of the concepts are not sticking. Hoping to get in 15 hours between today – Sunday. Next week will be one long week of M/C til my eyes bleed. Yippie skippy to that. 16 days til at least freedom from studying for me! So looking forward to football, bonfires and all the decorating/painting/crafting/baking that I have put off for the last 6 months.

Murder mode.

Starting at lunch today – going to topic by topic rereading my notes and the book and doing Becker MCQ (yes, all of them this time) and taking notes on those I miss/don't understand

Tonight I have an obligation to see a friend's band but will be lucky to get in some hours afterwards but have a ton of chores to do

Tomorrow up at 7 study through the night with breaks for lunch and what not

Sunday up at 7 study until it's time for NIIIIINNNERs…then maybe study some more. 20+ hours in one weekend – it's going to have to happen.

I am in the office for the next two weeks so I will be able to get in my ELLs again! I just hope my NTS gets here quick – I am sending in my reapp fees and remittance tomorrow

@Hustlin

That sounds like my plan too! I have to watch football the Niners better win Sunday or they will hurt my fantasy team! I will still study during some of the games and before noon.

[HustlinHustlin]

Who do you have? I will be on watch out for your guys.

I can't believe you attempt to play Fantasy during studying. Once I pass, I am making an all-girls league. I miss spending all Sunday watching football and being able to be into it….

Well when I signed up I thought I did pass but I was wrong. My bf is helping with it now because of me failing.

We get 5 points if our Head Coach wins their game and -5 if they lose so I started Harbaugh this week counting on them winning against the Lions.

I am actually the only girl in the league of 28 people. My team name is Princess Consuela Bananahammock. It is from an episode of ‘Friends'. hahaha

[LittleMoe]

I'm playing fantasy too. I thought I would pass BEC last time and be done in time to actually pay attention to my team. I am one of 2 girls out of 12 teams. Told one of the guys that I would probably be a roll over win every week now. I will be lucky to make sure all my starting players are actually playing!!

High fives to the both of you! Please send your passing powers my way!

@hustlin

You may have just become my favorite person 🙂 haha

I have been working on this thing for over a year now so I am happy to say that I am one test away, it was devastating that I didn't pass but I can only blame myself. Going at it with a vengence now. I really want to be done with this whole thing! Based on your signature, looks like you are using the same stuff I did when I started passing. Getting the first one under your belt is the hardest I think.

[momto5]

Can people that didn't fail and people NOT involved with fantasy football join your Power Weekend? I love football, but only the Packers and only the real thing! Seeing as our game is over for the week, it will be a good weekend for me to make sufficient progress on REG! I have just finished chapter 2 in Becker; lectures, MCQ's, SIMS, and Progress Test. Doing OK, but I want to take notes now on everything to reinforce it before starting Chapter 3. So hopefully Saturday will be for notes and Sunday will be starting chapter 3.

@ HustlinHustlin – good game last weekend……… 🙁

Well…if I do not get stuck at work all day tomorrow (Yes Saturday – It is Sept 15)….I'm going to try to get through Info Technology and Economics pages in the WILEY book for BEC. And read and write some of the NINJA notes.

Sunday – Cost Accounting and Capital Budgeting – read and write NINJA notes.

My goal this week is to read through the NINJA notes 5 times and read the corresponding sections of the wiley book, then see how much I've absorbed by doing some MCQs.

I passed in 2012!

BEC - PASSED - I'M DONE!!!
AUD - PASSED (finally!!)
REG - PASSED (Twice - lost credit first time)
FAR - PASSED!

Morning fellow studiers!

Coffee is brewing and I am all set up for a mega study session. I still have one more quiz left from yesterday then I will start on today's list of topics to do MCQ on. Let's power through and make today productive. When I start feeling drozy or losing focus I will take the dogs for a quick walk or come on here for some motivation.

FAR is going down!!

[Tootsie]

I've been restudying AUD for 4 weeks (finished all the A1 – A3 Becker practice questions). I am scheduled to take it on 10/15, so I have 4 weeks left. Today, I am reviewing my notes for A1-A3 and Ninja notes, and I am writing notes. A3 was a beast for me. Tomorrow, I'll probably do the same. I really need to understand A3 before moving on to A4. Happy studying everyone.

FAR - 76
AUD - 88!!! DONE!!!!!!!!
BEC - 76
REG - 77

never, never, never give up

[I Will Pass]

Just finished up watching the lecture for REG 3. Hoping to get 4 and part of 5 done today. Tomorrow I want to finish 6 and 7, but with football on, who knows if that will actually happen… Good luck everyone!
