All right, I’m on break from work next week so I got this weekend and next week for final preparations for REG on 1-4-14. Here is what I have done so far in the past 8 weeks:

Went over CPAexcel lectures

-Wrote Ninja Notes 2x

-Read Ninja Notes and listened to Ninja Audio 4x

-Practiced Wiley and CPAexcel MCQ and made flashcards on things I don’t understand (honestly I haven’t been keeping track but I think I went over about 500 Wiley MCQ and about 100 CPAexcel MCQ)

-Went over CPAexcel lessions and MCQ on areas that I scored weak on in Wiley MCQ

---

Here is what I’m thinking of doing for my final 8 days:

-Read Ninja Notes and listened to Ninja Audio for the 5th and final time (as recommended by Jeff)

-Do 100 MCQ per day (I may lower this number if I find myself going over a lot of questions)

-Go over flashcards

-Do one or two simulated CPA exam to pace myself (let’s face it, a 75 on the simulated exam doesn’t mean a 75 on the real thing).

-Go over simulations just for the heck of it (but of course, the simulations on the actual exam are going to be a lot different than the practice sims)

Sounds like a good plan? Comments, suggestions?

The only thing I would change is to not do the practice exams. My logic behind this is that you are going over sections you have down, and less over the sections you need work on. Plus, a failing grade on the practice exam sometimes hits your confidence in a bad way.
