Well I went for what I was hoping would be a nice run before a power night and did something to my leg…barley made it back home and now its crazy swollen. Totally killed my positive energy for the evening. Seriously…someone actually stopped to ask me if I was okay I was “gimping” so much.

Guess that means more time to study! Shame on me for trying to get in a healthy study break!:) Still going to shoot for 3 hours tonight.

@future – Don't get to down on yourself. Granted I failed REG last time with a 74 I left thinking I totally bombed the SIMS and my score report showed I was stronger on them. Stay positive. 🙂

@smp thanks. That post was within an hour of leaving the test center so that is my pretty typical “FML” attitude afterwards. The first time I took it the same thing happened and I was stronger too. And the second time I was pretty confident and was weaker. These sims are a real doozy. Guess we will find out in time 🙂

Ps hope your leg is ok!!!

@ Future I completely understand that feeling. When people have asked me pretty close to the test being over how I felt like I did I always say I want to puke. 🙂 Hopefully 3rd time is the charm for both of us! The leg hurts but I am getting fantastic results on practice MC questions tonight! Fairly certain there will be no running for a while. Boo Hiss…just more time to drill MC questions!

I am going to fail my exam again because I'm not motivated to study tonight!! Going get some coffee and look through some posts and see if I can get motivated. happy studying!

[smp73]

@Mel: none of that negative talk! You can do this! I was feeling eh this past weekend and came here for some motivation/encouragement and it helped so much. You can do this!

Seriously going to put the MC away for the night and focus on rewriting ninja and my “fact nuggets”. Just did 50 questions in “pop quiz” format and got 48 right! Seriously soooooo happy about that…huge confidence booster.

@Future Think positive you preared best you could and you did your best. This exam is totally unpredictable know you did your best and hoping for a 75 in a few weeks!

@Mel i am with SMP on this one, think positive! Also if you have been killing yourself studying take a night half off, read notes drink your coffee listen to NINJA, rewrite notes don't do MCQ and come back tomorrow and hit it hard. Your exam is a week away maybe you need a small mental break, for a night.

A - 61, 91!!
B - 78!
F - 76!!!
R - 71, 73, 74, 69, 77!!!!

Finally done!

This is my 2nd attempt at the exam, I had two parts passed (failed many) and I stupidly quit, big mistake. Now I'm back and with a vengeance!

Hi REG fam! How is everyone progressing along?

Hi Cparunner, glad to see you are joining here!

My progress had been stalled although so briefly, by the physical exhaustion. Had been pushing myself daily both physically and mentally, kept forgetting to take multivitamins and despite effort and success in reducing overall junk food consumption, today went back to drinking coffee 🙁

On a positive note, made some progress in lectures. So far out of 8 Becker reg videos, 6 are completed and that's is per my original schedule, yaahooo!

Let's conquer REG monster, we can do this!

@Mel, go back and edit your post with posting “I WILL pass this exam”. Please do this at least in your mind. The attitude is everything, you are preparing and will be prepared and calmly take and pass this test. Wish you all the luck!

So i fell asleep at the computer last night, guess i was exhausted. So i got no studying done even after the coffee. But i woke up early this morning and got through 25 MCQs. Going to try and keep momentum so i can pass this exam. And i will pass because i know this information and i'm going to study like crazy until monday to pound it into my head. Thanks for the encouragement!

You got this Mel! 🙂

Mix and match study day today.

Decided to explore and look up particular stuff online and came across this free collection of Reg/Tax links, all in one convenient place at last: https://www.law.cornell.edu/lii/get_the_law

CFR = Code of Fed Regulations, this is where “covered opinions” stuff resides [Title 31 Section 10.35]: https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text

UCC = Uniform Commercial Code: https://www.law.cornell.edu/ucc/

@seattleaccountant: Cornell! That's my school 🙂 Not sure why that made me so excited.

Going to re-some ninja notes, do MC and re-write my “fact nuggets”. Seriously re-writing all the little fact nuggets is insanely helpful. I would recommend it! T minus one week…I want my life back!

Thanks Seattle! I hope this is it for me….I have dreams about this exam! Good Luck Studying!

I keep joking that I wish it kept snowing…60 degrees and sunshine. So many things I would rather be doing than studying BUT I would rather study like mad for the next week then have to do this all over again!
