    Thinking of jumping… I have one month left to take my last part. The last week I have been slacking off and I know it. Totally burnt out after a year of studying. I have to get back in the grove, just getting bored. I think people would do better with no more than 2 months of studying for any part, anymore and you start to slack or move too slow. Getting complancent. At times it seems so easy other times it seems like a mountain. It’s the vastness of FAR that is killing me.

    Hang in there. Almost there. But I know what you mean, I'm studying for my last part…and it's hard to get the motivation to do it. I thought BEC would be easiest, and even though it's easier than FAR…it's still challenging. AHH. I hope we both pass and end this nightmare forever.

    Good Luck!

    @Givemesleep – jumping ship at this point is not allowed. You are waaaayy too up to back down now.

    Think positive thoughts. Don't get overwhelmed by the volume of FAR. When people say that it's a mile long and an inch deep, it's the truth. I promise you 10X over that FAR is nowhere near the monster that we create in our heads. You have to believe me – I've been there 3x. I admit that the first time I was not anywhere as prepared as I should have been. But it was anxiety and feeling like I couldn't do it that made me get the embarrassing score that I did.

    Keep plugging away, one day at a time, and you'll be happy that you did it. The one thing that I can promise you is that you will feel prepared while you're taking the exam. The review materials out there do a GREAT job for FAR.

    Good luck to you too CPA628!

    REG - 80 (Becker only)
