Well I am working on hopefully my last section (feel like I passed FAR but waiting) and I almost made it through all the sections without spilling coffee all over my Becker materials. I knew it was just a matter of time.

Anyone make it through all the sections with accomplishing this feat?

Nope. I have coffee on two of my four books and spaghetti on my AUD book!

I guess I'm clumsy

My books look disgusting. I even have candle wax on my brand new 2013 Wiley Audit book 🙁

I've almost made it through all four sections without drinking any coffee at all….does that count?? Never had a cup in my life…

[sieverd]

I don't feel so bad about it now…. wax & spaghetti sauce.

@Baxter if you can prove you don't drink coffee I feel like you should only need a 70 to pass. It is kind of like steroids and HGH for the CPA exam.

I always say that I need a caffeine drip so that I don't have to keep refilling my coffee cup, lol 🙂

My REG book is the worst… its just covered in coffee, melted chocolate, spaghetti sauce.. you name it

[oilgaslb]

I think I'm the opposite – I only keep my book on the kitchen table, no food or drink is allowed near it, and the only things on it are those post it page markers. I think I've convinced myself that if I keep it in perfect condition, it will help me score better the 2nd time around – ha!

My REG ninja notes had an entire cup of coffee spilled on them and then a strawberry smoothie. Yum. They were gross but I refused to reprint!

I only drink coffee at work.

But during FAR and REG… I had Monster Energy drinks constantly stored in my cabinet constantly.. Probably wasn't the healthiest of diets.

FAR: 50, 76!
REG: 74... (ouch baby, very ouch), 76!
AUD: 65, 91!?
BEC: 80! Aaaand doneskies!

May 2012 to August 2013. Can't believe it's over.

@infernoomni I'm more concerned about the fact that you are implying you drank WARM Monster drinks than about the unhealthiness of it…

I spilled coffee on my Becker REG book the first day of class. And REG was the first course I took. So I didn't even get through my first class of my first course before doing it.

I killed a mosquito or two on my AUD Becker book….

I also may have left and eye lash or two in the binding of my BEC book

Never had an incident with coffee.

My books are all nice and clean! Not that it matters since I fully intend on taking 2 to the range and 2 will get tossed in a fire.

Only time I drank coffee while studying was when I started early in the morning on weekends. Otherwise my studying was between 7-11pm so no coffee.
