Study MonkMemberBe aware of the diminishing concepts theory. Every day you don't study FAR the concepts that you understand diminish by some percentage depending on whether the information was long term memory or short term memory multiplied by your genetic predisposition towards learning.
For most people they lose approximately .01% of what they learn each day they don't use it up to a maximum level of diminishment(usually 60%). This means that you will reach the maximum level of diminishment after 60 days leaving you only a 40% level of retention. It means you should start studying before you lose to much information, because you will save time in the long run. This last statement is true even if everything else I said was made up and has no real scientific standing(which it doesn't).
I spoke to an ancient wise man who sent me on a mushroom induced journey through an ancient forest to find the key to passing the CPA exam. A talking spider monkey told me to throw the last of my drinking water in the dirt to find what I was looking for. So I followed his instructions and the following message appeared in the soil:
"Do 5000 multiple choice questions for each section"

G3MemberI lost two credits after receiving a 74 – 1 point away from being done forever. I cried (a lot), picked myself up, and got back to it…eventually I passed and you will too!!!

AnonymousInactiveI posted this in another thread a long time ago, but I think it still holds true:
I believe there should be a Constitutional Amendment prohibiting the AICPA from issuing a score between 70 and 75. I know this sounds like a joke but hear me out before you judge.
1. A score of 69 or less says “We think you might still be a threat to the public.”
2. A score of 70 says “You didn't learn what you really needed to learn to pass the exam, which is basically how to read our minds.”
3. A score of 71 says “There is still money left in your savings account.”
4. A score of 72 says “We see that your credit cards aren't over the limit yet.”
5. A score of 73 says “At this point, we view you as nothing more than a revenue stream.”
6. A score of 74 says “Here's a slap in the face for all of your hard work and dedication. See #2-5 for further details.”
7. A score of 75 or above says “You are no longer a threat to the public, your bank accounts are empty, you now have the credit of a 9 year old, and the new wing on our building is complete.”
I know it sucks. Been there. Done that. And got the t-shirt. But you only have to do one thing at this point, Get. Back. Up!
