Haven’t seen one of these posts in awhile so I thought I’d start one. Took a sick day and headed to the library to buckle down for my upcoming 2/3/18 exam.

I have but 1 study goal for this weekend. MASTER CORP TAX AND SIMS!

Good luck to all those studying for exams next week

Good to see the return. This power weekend was a definitely a motivator when I felt like I was in a lull. Just spent the 5/5 weekend with my two daughters graduation. This weekend 5/12 goes to my son's graduation. I am a proud parent but still need to pass this test and get on with my life. So welcome back power weekend. Oh, I will be doing mcq's between excitement.

This weekend I’ll be back for another power weekend. Two weeks ago, I was focused on preparing for an AUD retake. This time, I’m all in for a FAR retake next month. So, I’m trying to decide on the right plan of attack. I don’t want to set myself up for failure, but I must cover a lot of ground in order to feel as if I’m going to be able to attain my preparation goal. When I have a more concrete plan, I’ll be back to share so that I can hold myself accountable for actually completing it. I hope everyone is out there pushing studying hard. We can do this!

Do NOT quit! There's more in you and if you quit you'll never see it. Show you that you can do it.

AUD Passed  78
BEC Passed  79
FAR Passed  77
REG Passed 76

I'm tired of operating in fear and mediocrity. It's time to try. It's time to do. It's time to go.

Updating my power weekend goal… Since I'm retaking FAR, I've decided to start my studies all of the way over because I must've missed something and need to fill the gaps between concepts.

So, on Saturday, I'm going to review (videos,text, & mcqs) the conceptual framework, balance sheet, cash & cash equivalents, receivables, liabilities, cost & equity method, marketable securities & derivatives. On Sunday, I'm going to begin reviewing (vides, text, & mcqs) foreign operations, inventory, and fixed assets. I want to master as much of this as I can. Hopefully, you all are out here killing it too. Sending good juju to all of you.

I planned to be rolling by 9am this morning, but woke up late and had to take care of some errands. My goal is to get through Business Law this weekend so that I can get the ball rolling with Taxation on Monday. Prayer needed!

522 MCQs to work on this weekend for BLAW!

I’ll come back Monday 5/20 to brag: “Folks, I got it all done!”

Dang!

I did only 200+ this weekend:(

Awesome! Yes, REG here we come! My test isn’t until June 9th and I’ve only completed a little over 400 MCQs to date. I’m currently using NINJA and hope to focus on partnerships and property this weekend. What are your weak areas? Btw, I have access to Becker, but prefer NINJA.

I'm in. Although I am starting over, I'd didn't pass reg. I guess it feels good to know others are sacrificing the holiday to put a dent in study. My weak area is property transactions and capital gains and losses. Which some was on the test 🙁 , more investment, retirement, stock sales, partnerships and contracts. But I learned my lesson, study everything and do plenty of mcq's.
P.S I see I posted last year about this time, I didn't take the test last year because of all the excitement, and my son graduated again with his master's two weeks ago. Time really does fly.

Honestly, I have plenty of weak areas LOL. I’m very likely to rewrite the notes of my problem areas, watch NINJA Plus for the concepts and hit MCQs this weekend. BTW, I was on this thread last year around this time as well. Let’s go ahead and put a cap on this exam. I’m soooo tired of studying 😣

What does a power weekend entail?

[Anonymous]

A power weekend is just a weekend of CPA review study cram sessions on overdrive. People hammer out MCQs, rewatch review videos, rewrite notes, etc. You decide what you need to do in order to power through the material per se. It's just helpful to know you're not the only one out here studying your heart away on a holiday weekend.
