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… 🙂

Taking it Wednesday….I'd say about 95% sure I'm going to have to retake it again. My NTS expires 4/7 and I have FAR schedule for 4/4 so there's really no way to move it back. Just hitting NINJA notes mixed with some MCQs. Probably do some SIMS tomorrow and wrap up – but in general, not feeling at all confident.

Starting all over.

Taking this guy bright and early tomorrow. I've just been using the Wiley books and they have definitely over-prepared me for the other exams which wasn't a big deal. However, with this test I think it's overkill and a huge disadvantage. No way I can remember all of this stuff! Just hoping I get a lucky draw tomorrow…

My issue is that I'm now scoring in the high 70s and low 80s BUT that's because I've seen these stupid MCQs three times now. I'm now moving back to the Wiley test bank for some different MCQs but confidence level is high but distorted… 🙁

I sit on Tuesday at 8am. I am a little scared of Ethics an all of Reg8 in Becker (rules for forming an LP, LLC, GP, LLP, blah blah)

The Individual, partnerships, and Law…I'm all fairly confident about. We'll see what happens in two days! I went into my AUD test on zero hours of sleep and the way my sleep/study schedule is now I am SUPER scared of not being able to sleep come test night.Right now I've been staying up till 4am normally and sleeping till noon.

Any advice on how to right the ship in such a short period of time?

Yep, I'm just treating this as a benchmark and I will use it as an indicator for my re-take.

Starting all over.

I sit tomorrow. I'm so beat down and tired I'd give anything if I'd postponed. It's foolish and ridiculous to walk unprepared into an exam that isn't expiring. Too late now though. Just gonna give it my best shot. Everybody's freaking me out talking about things that have changed that they wouldn't have known if they hadn't been on the board. I haven't the slightest clue what they're talking about.

katiekanton…me neither but I am going to browse the REG forum specifically for topics that others are struggling with and maybe there are clues there… 🙂

I just took it today, there was nothing on there that your should not have covered by now. Just sayin……

[katiekanton]

I'm sure that's true, but that assumes that our review material actually contains it AND is up to date, which I'm not wholly convinced of. I had about 6 questions on my AUD exam that I know for sure I got wrong because I had never seen it in my AUD material. I've run across it now in the REG book, and apparently the explanation is that the info used to be on REG and now it's on AUD and I just happened to catch it in the changeover. I'm scared there's more. Also, since the book was prepared in 2010 for 2011 publishing, I'm afraid there's some massive change that I don't even know about.

@Katie Did you not get the spot in Chattanooga? I am so exhausted from all this. I spent six hours at the library today. Going back early tomorrow. Right now I am trying to working on memorizing some of the sixty or so pages of formulas and mnemonics I have prepared.

[katiekanton]

I waited too late to change my appointment. I was gonna do it this morning and I got up and Prometric wouldn't let me even see Feb. It's ok. Probably another day wouldn't help much anyway. Good luck to you, though!

Yeah, I'm printing my notes now and I'll memorize what I can tomorrow. I'm just too tired to keep going tonight. I CAN NOT WAIT until this is over. Good luck to you, jjm.
