hey guys,

I just posted on the reg is hard thread. But overall, the sims were tough. I felt ok about the mcq's, but the sims were nutty. I hate having the woulda, coulda, shoulda feeling, not much I can do about that now. Glad to have it behind me, but wish I had a better feel.

I guess it is now time to get to Audit. I will take the rest of the day off and hit it tomorrow. Best of luck to all of you taking it today–especially on the sims. Budget your time to give yourself the most for the sims. I followed that advice and it was helpful. I felt less stressed finishing the sims knowing that I had budgeted well on that.

@jomarie–I have had that happen to me as well. what a pisser!!! Don't let it ruin the day 🙂 Keep it going, you will do it.

Have a great weekend and best of luck to you all.

[jomarie]

My brain feels fried!! I think I need a nap. Going to take a little break maybe catch some zzzz then do more questions tonight! I'm glad I still have a couple of days until my exam on Tuesday.

Yankee – Glad you made it out ALIVE!! LOL When do you sit for Audit?

@yankee: I'm glad REG is over for you…I always feel so relieved after an exam. Has nothing to do with how I feel about passing or failing it, but just the fact that I can close that book (for now) and move on feels so good…

I wish you the best with your AUD prep! I am sure that it will all come back to you and you will nail it this time!

I am hoping that both of us hear good news in September 🙂

@Iwannabacpa,

Good news for sure in September–have to think positively. I am glad it is over, the review process is intense for me. The lady at Starbucks always gave me strange looks, but on Friday, she finally asked me, what are you studying? I get crazy in the end, pulling out my notecards while waiting for my jolt of caffeine!!

Now I am out of gas. Sooooo tired.

BTW I love the new pic. Which one is this one? Too cute………love it.

[IwannaBaCPA]

I've run out of gas and motivation as you know…geeze this isn't easy!! I have to drink coffee right when I get home from work or else I cannot even attempt to study.

Thanks about the new pic! That is my Lilo, my little shadow 🙂 I've had her since I was 18 and I couldn't be any closer to an animal…she “gets” me you know?! I'm sad she is getting older (9 now!) and I hate that I'm busy studying and can't play as much with her and Marley…

[jomarie]

I don't know what it is but here I am attempting to do more Reg questions and preparing myself for Tuesday, but I feel burnt out. I slept really well last night. I even slept in till 11am (which is totally not like me). Any suggestions?? Maybe I need to take a walk. I think I'll go do that and see how I feel when I return.

F - 11/26/2012 --------> 85

[Skippy1997]

I agree with Yankee on the test – My experience was about the same. I think I did well on the M/C but the sims were a bit tricky. 2-3 of them were very tough and had to use the IRC literature to even have a chance at it. Nothing like trying to understand legalese while under a time crunch to complete the test.

Good luck all on the remaining tests for the month. Onwards to BEC for me!

AUD - 05/27/11 - 81
FAR - 07/05/11 - 83
REG - 08/06/11 - 91
BEC - 08/29/11 - 87
Ethics - 95

[yankeeaccountant]

@Skippy,

You put it better than me. I felt like I needed a law degree to understand what the code was saying!! Good luck to you. And have fun with BEC!! I am on to Audit. It will be great when we don't have another exam to study for…………wishful thinking 🙂

Have a great day!
