Let’s hear it. What areas are you stuggling with and what are you doing about it? What’s your strategy these last few days/hours? How’s the confidence level? What are you feelilng confident about? Are you focusing on SIMS or MCQs? Are you focusing on overall topics or getting down and dirty with the small details?

I want to know if everyone else is freaking out as much as me… 🙂

I'm here. Trying to not think about how bad I want to postpone. I'm not even through with the book. Two chapters left. Partnership Tax and “other”. I'm sitting here looking at all this corporate AMT crap and thinking about just skipping it. What are the odds I'll get a question on it right? HA

I still don't understand AMT…I was told not to skip a few weeks ago. My guess is that I'm going to get a SIM on the subject…

Take it tomorrow, feeling confident however this is my second time taking the exam. I know come tomorrow at 9 am the fact I fell confident today will mean nothing. I will say I have never prepared as hard for any exam thus far like I did for tomorrow's exam. I used Wiley 2011 & 2012 Wiley Test Bank, Ninja Notes and 2011 Wiley Book.

Good luck to all taking this beast this week….

Taking REG tomorrow @ 12.00. I feel more prepared than the first time I took it. I am taking too long for the research sim. Is this any better way to go about the Research Sim?

I'm taking on Leap Day! I am reading my Ninja notes and doing Wiley SIMS today. Tomorrow I think I'll do all MC and then on Tuesday – drink a few beers and hope for the best . I am working full time with a husband in Grad School and a seven month old. I am seriously burnt!!!!

Good luck to everyone, on the bright side we should know our results in about a week.

I've got mine Wednesday. Just reading Ninja Notes today, probably just MCQ's Monday and Tuesday. Beyond burnt out on the CPA exam as a whole, none stop since I started in August. Add in 55-60 hours a week for tax season and I'm just praying for the best. Can't score above 70% on MCQ's which has be worried. Never been this bad this close to test day. Good luck all.

I would check over AMT…don't go crazy but you don't want it making you regret not looking at it at all

Why be afraid of what we do not understand?

I feel pretty strong on taxation, but have struggled with business law. My practice test scores are also in the 70s which is lower than normal for me this close to the test. I plan on doing lots of MC and maybe one last review over a few weaker sections.

Taking on Wed nice to be a Leapyear. First part of the CPA exam for me, no tax or relevant background in this area. Not “freaking out” its a test, I think people have a tendency to get too worried. Youre not heading to Kabul or to start Cancer treatments. Just do your best and more forward afterwards.

Thanks to the people who have posted insights to questions, been very helpful

Wats up everybody? I am freaking out. Becker practice results, horrible and test on Wed 29th leap-year. Plan for next two days to keep going over the final review by Becker, it's short and straight to the point. No more MCQ or SIMS, because I can't crush my confidence level over and over.

I am taking REG on Wednesday. This is going to be my first exam and I'm not sure exactly what to expect. The only areas that I am having trouble with is AMT and some business law topics. I know the material, but these multiple choice questions are so tricky (in terms of what they are asking for).

[mopena14]

got it on wednesday as well doing MCQs up the wazoo and reading the ninja notes, Jeffs video on AMT is awesome just enough and makes it really easy to remember, its old but it works: https://youtu.be/ns6JReRDZbQ; good luck to all

Mopena14 – that video was perfect. It's a lot clearer now. Thanks soo much!

[katiekanton]

My issue isn't individual AMT, but corporate. I don't know if it's the way my material lays it out or what, but it seems like there's a LOT more to the corporate formula than the individual. Anybody have a video for that?
