    I wanna cry. I’m only into F2, but I’m so nervous for this section. I finished F1, read the chapter twice, did all the hw twice, sim, read the note cards (Becker), and made my own notes, and feel just about okay with the 1st chapter.

    I have to do that for all other chapters, but I feel like I won’t have enough time. I guess, I should take my time and study for it well, rather than rush and fail. I know it’s not impossible, but it seems so overwhelming.

    Just had to get it out of my system:)

    Good Luck to all studying!!!

    You're not alone. The material is not terrible so far. But if I sit back and think about how much material there really is, it's overwhelming. Just keep studying.

    @ CPA628

    I feel the same way! This is going to be my first exam. I work a full-time job and a side accounting job. Between work, taking my last 3 classes and raising a kiddo it's a challenge to find time to finish the lectures.

    Glad to know I'm not the only one overwhelmed!!!

    I fell the same way….. so covered…. i feel like i am learning nothing. I am at Module 9: Financial statements reading the text first and then do MCQs. I am in the process of buying a review course but have not done so yet. I failed Audit x2 because of the FAR related simulation questions and was comparable in 3 out of 5 sections for the MCQs. So i decided to tackle FAR and then go back to AUDIT. I have the Ninja notes, wiley testbank, and ninja flashcards but no lectures.

    Trying to keep myself motivated and continue reading the book and doing MCQs. I am working towards testing the final week of May 2012.

    GOD HELP ME PLEASE!!!

    IF U TRY AND U DONT SUCEED, TRY AND TRY AGAIN...GIVING UP IS NOT AN OPTION.

    @ kelly – do you have 2011 materials?

    No, I have 2012 materials. I just noticed that at the end of the modules it says 2012 Update – Addendum so I wasn't sure if I was suppose to do that first. All the MCQs I've done so far have year end as 12/31/2010 so I wasn't sure if they put it together in 2011 and later update it. Just unsure. I'm at work now so I haven't been able to watch it 🙂

    I am on my third section of FAR with Becker, and this is my first test. Planning on one week per section per the online course, then 1+ week of final review before taking 2nd week of May. I am so glad to know that others feel overwhelmed=brain swelling from information overload.

    So for the MCQs, what scores were you guys getting on your first time through, vs. just before taking the exam? And how would you say Becker MCQs compared with the actual exam?

    Ugh I want to cry too. I thought I knew this stuff, but the phrasing of the questions keeps throwing me off! Very disheartening.
