AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m taking my very last section on Thursday, and the pressure is starting to hit me a littler harder than it did during the other sections. I woke up from a sound sleep last night and almost had to throw up I was so queasy. I flat out cannot believe that here I am, looking my last section in the face after studying for this test for nearly a year. I still cannot believe that I passed FAR.

(BTW, I am so thankful that my last section is AUD. I keep telling myself that if I fail it, at least it’s not FAR again.)

In a moment of panicked “throwing money at it,” I bought the AUD ninja notes this afternoon even though I only have two days to go over them. I’ve already rewritten 26 pages of them tonight. I’m going to try to crank out another 4 or 5 before bedtime, and do as many as I can tomorrow.

I suppose I’m here for moral support. Any you have to give would be awesome– motivational quotes, hiyas, stories about how great life is as soon as you’ve passed, etc.

REG- 53, 91
BEC- 88
FAR- 62, 85
AUD- 85

Ethics- 93

DITTO DITTO DITTO, but mine's FAR. Trade?

Just yeah, I hear you. A year ago at this time I didn't even have any INTENTION of taking the CPA exams, and now I might MAYBE be 48 hours away from done? I'm going to throw up.

God I wish I was in your position though hahaha congrats on beating FAR, you'll be fine!

@Maverick– thank you!

I used Becker. I took detailed notes the first time I watched the Tax lectures rather than highlighting.The second time I watched the tax lectures, I highlighted. For the business law lectures, I highlighted the first time through, and then rewrote the b-law ninja notes. I watched the tax lectures a third time (I kid you not) for the few topics I just couldnt wrap my head around (estates, mostly). I don't think I watched the law lectures twice, but I can't remember.

I did all the homework problems twice, including the Becker supplemental questions at the end of each chapter, and also worked the AICPA released problems for 2011. I studied a solid 20 hours a week for 4 weeks of Becker class and 15 hours a week for 3 weeks of review. I felt really well prepared going into it. I also worked at a VITA clinic this spring, so I had a pretty good grasp of individual taxation going into studying.

Good luck Sarah! With those scores in other sections, I'm sure AUD will be a breeze for you! You'll have plenty of time during the exam (as opposed to other exams) so feel free to take a break or two in between 🙂 Goodluck!

AUD 73, 76 🙂

Last section? Do you need more than that?

I was feeling badly bogged the other day, I didn't want to study anymore, hated test, blah blah blah. I felt like a whiner. Then I realized that if I pass this section, I may never have to take another standardized test (that seriously mattered) for the rest of my life. Not only that, but I become a CPA for Xmas 🙂

I can think of no better study encouragement than that…and I have FAR on the 30th, I wanna rock this nasty little weasel!

Those Ninja Notes are killer. Also, take a last look over all your reports again. And review your different kinds of engagements, and how they compare. I SO WISH AUD WAS MY LAST SECTION..

GL!
