    I'd do WTB and try to get your comprehension on the different subjects up, when you aren't doing that review your notes. Any topics that you are really struggling with maybe review in your book. That is my plan. This is my 3rd time taking FAR so there isn't anything I'm REALLY struggling with I'd say. I just need to review, review, review! Also, on the mcq, do one and check your answer, take notes on what you got wrong. Good luck!

    FAR - 7/13 - 72, 11/13- 74, 2/14- 82!!! Best score ever (for me)!!!
    BEC - 1/14 - 75!!! Perfect score! First Pass! YAY!!!
    AUD - 8/14 - 80!!!
    REG - 5/14 - 72, 10/14 - 66, 1/15 - 78 - DONE FOREVER!!!
    I did 5 of the UNA and CPAExcel classes to earn units.

    This was a while ago but a week before FAR (I'm assuming you have finished the review procedures) I just read read over the highlighted portions in the Becker book and did endless 30 question review testlets. And I never studied the day before an exam, you need that time to chill out.

    I just rewrote my Ninja notes and the Becker notes and I first did 30 MCQ for each chapter (1-9) then I did 50 MCQs for chaps 1 through 5. I also did 50 MCQs for chapter 5 through 9. Then I started doing as many 30 MCQs as possible that covers all 9 chapters. I also reviewed the book for journal entries and understanding.

    Which time? 1st, second or third? Haha.

    First time I did a gazzillion MCQ. The day before I closed shop about 3pm and focused on getting rest and eating a good meal. Morning of, I did some light reading on some of my weaker areas. Then let my brain rest for about 2 hours before exam time. Then I took a 5 hour energy drink an hour before the exam. DO NOT DO THAT!!!!! 🙂

    Licensed Florida CPA:
    B: 71, 73, 79
    A: 83
    R: 78 (expired), 77
    F: 74, 74, 80

    It's finally freaking over.

    I tried 5-Hour Energy Drink once. It made me feel like a zombie. I will never drink it again, ever.
