AnonymousInactiveWell….My exam is tomorrow. I am going to be pulling a 12 hour study day again today. As of now, I don't feel 100 % ready. I understand the material for the most part, but not as well as I need to know it. I need to dig a little more on some subjects. I am hoping today and tomorrow will get me ready (my exam is at 4:30 pm). I had a lot of distractions this month including a break-up. I am a determined individual and a fighter; however, this one will be cutting it very close! I hope everyone's studying is coming a long well. I haven't been able to keep up with the forum lately. Wish me luck! (Prayers too!) We are all in this together! 🙂

jomarieParticipantI'm really starting to hate Business Law….I was going ok with it until I hit Commercial Paper. Now I'm also having trouble with Bankruptcy. My exam is a week from Tuesday and I'm scared!!!!!

AnonymousInactiveThanks everyone! I will be up late studying tonight. I have my Red Bull & bottle of wine handy! 🙂 I will probably disappear from the forum again. I will be back after my exam tomorrow! I am in stress/work mode right now. 🙂

AnonymousInactiveI took REG today and felt wronged. I got tested on terms I have never even heard before. I have chewed on every bit of Becker and studied all the updates listed on their website, but still ran into at least 4 terms/code I have never heard before, let alone making an educated guess! I came home and searched those terms I remembered in the textbook included in the software and they were not found. So I guess they're just brand new, but how are we supposed to prepare for those new info?
Also, I feel I spent so much time to chew on certain confusing topics and nail down the MCs but the material tested really is quite off from Becker material, not only the specific questions but the general direction of the areas targeted. Becker for regulation is more technical while what was tested was really more conceptual and more detailed (and the kinda detail that's easily missed).
I think I did fine for the 1st testlet since the 2nd was much harder, but for the 3rd, it was odd. The first 5 Qs or so were hard, and the rest was easy. The simulation tabs include somewhat basic calculations, but I hate how they make the info really long and complicated while they really were just asking simple questions. I'm curious, if I entered all formulas to calculate the result, will I get at least partial credit if my train of thought was correct but happened to miss something? Or do they just look at the final number you give?
I did get 2 research tab as well. Feeling lucky. =)

yankeeaccountantParticipantErin,
Best of luck!!!
Delala,
sounds like you did well. If the second testlet was harder that is a good sign. I guess it depends how well you think you did on the sims. It sounds like you felt good about the research tabs, so I wouldn't agonize over it. If you have another exam to study for, don't let this stop/interrupt your schedule. The end of September will be here before you know it. Good luck.

yankeeaccountantParticipantMorning guys!
Well, I am sitting on Aug 6th, and feel no better from spending all weekend at the library. I keep listening to the review lecture–feel like I understand it–then go to the mcq's and bam–right down the tubes. UGH.
I am going to review the ninja notes, yaeger notes, and my handwritten notes from reading the chapters, and then read the notes on mcq's and THEN take some progress tests and see where I am at.
I need a miracle……..all the planets have to be aligned for this one.
Good luck studying this week.

PeanutParticipant@Yankee, what sections are you struggling with??
AUD 81 (X4) Previous scores 59, 72, 72
REG 80 (X3) Previous scores 59, 60
FAR 75 (X2) Previous score 67
BEC 79 (X2) Previous score 58August 1, 2011 at 12:58 pm #371377
yankeeaccountantParticipantPeanut,
In business law it is Contracts ( so far, still have 4 areas to finish on the cram) and on tax, it is mostly corporate tax and partnership. I am iffy on basis. I am also confused on AMT for indiv and corporate. I am sure there is more, but can't remember all of it now.
I am hoping that I can finish the cram in the next hour and then really scour all my review notes. I am hoping that everything starts to come together.
Honestly, I am probably struggling b/c things on the homefront aren't great. I saw some posts regarding relationships and it hit a nerve. Things have been really tough. I just hope I am not trading a “mrs” for a “cpa”….that would really suck. I have to just suck it up and finish this. Dragging this out longer will not help at all. The crazy thing is that it will be a year that I started this at the end of August. But..what a year it has been. Serenity now!!!
