    I am fried, and dont feel ready. Consols, stockholders equity, foreign tranny’s are killing me. I am so freaked out. Off from work tomorrow but dont know what to study. Pound mcq’s, watch my cram, read ninja notes or just puke? Total miracle needed. I either get a 56% or a 75%. What do I do with one solid day to study?

    I am in the same boat. I just took my first becker final and scored a 67% consolidations and pensions are killing me most. I am off from work also I I am going to bank mcqs all day tomorrow on the weak areas and see if that brings me up a bit. I am finishing up memorizing my flashcards tonight.

    I finally got the dilutive stock down so at least I don't have to worry about that! I really don't fee ready.

    First of all, kudos to both of you for being on track to finish your exam by the end of the year.

    Second, I'm not sure if killing yourself by going through hundreds of MCQs the day before the exam is such a great idea. For me, going through my notes and flashcards until I knew them inside out and doing a handful of simulation was ideal.

    You know yourselves better than I know you. What worked for you when you got those kick-butt scores before?

    I took the exam yesterday and if I had the day before my exam back I would work more of the Wiley testbank questions on all topics. Then I would of just read my NINJA notes over and over again. Best of luck to you!!

    @Givemesleep The best thing you can do for yourself right now is rest and mentally prepare for the exam focus on the exam when you are taking it is much worse than not knowing a few very small topics. If your looking for things to review I would choose NFP and governmental as those two can make up 24% of the total exam, whereas the topics that you mentioned that are your weak areas are proportionally much small topics.

    REG- 81
    BEC- 72,76
    AUD- 67,88
    FAR- 78

    Done!

    I am in the same boat as well. I took off work today as well. I am at the library now. I have some weak areas (Pensions, Consolidations, Cash Flows). I take my exam tomorrow @ 8am. Hopefully this will be it for me and these freaking exams!! I am planning to read the ninja notes a couple of times & MCQs until my eyes are blurry.

    GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!

    Good luck you guys! I felt exactly the same way before I took FAR last weekend. I tried to just focus on main concepts the day before. I read through Jeff's Ninja notes several times and tried to focus on remembering formulas.

    BEC- 73, 73, 80
    REG- 74, 83
    FAR- 50(didn't study), 76 (<--How the heck did that happen?)
    AUD- 71, 71, 79!!!!!
    Finished!!
