My advice for stealing an extra couple hours of study time is to take public transportation to work as oppose to driving. I live in queens and work in brooklyn, for all those familiar with mta the commute takes me over 1.5hrs from when i leave my house. I use to drive but as I approach test day I force myself to take the dreaded train to give myself an extra 2 hours a day of study time.

Best of luck to everyone and hopefully this journey comes to an end in 2 weeks from today.

Keep a notebook with fact nuggets from questions you miss! Also, read A71 all the time..it always makes me feel better to have someone else to lament with after a fail and then get motivated again reading people's success stories!

A - 67, 64, 92!!
R - 61, 75!
B - 80!
F - 68, 78!! DONE!

The best tip I can give is to never give up. It's been a hard concept for me to stick to, but in the end the struggles you are going through will be worth it! If you fail, don't just drop everything and say ‘oh I can't be a CPA, so why bother trying.' If you pass, don't get a big head! Keep an even keel and you will have a better mentality going into the exam. Attitude is key – along with multiple choice repetition and SIMS – but that's obvious.

My best study advice…. Well when you decide to actually sit down and study you need to not have any distractions. Choose a space that you can relax and concentrate for a long period of time. Whenever I tried to study at home I would end up thinking…wow I should clean those windows or the ceiling fans need dusting. Everything seems much more fun when you have to study for the exam so find a quiet place! Also, I loved Jeff's ninja audio…I put it on a CD in my car and would listed to different topics while I commuted to work and it definitely helped getting me over the 74 point hurdle!! Stick to it, study hard and be persistent!!

My advice to keep your confidence level up, is to envision yourself attaining your goal. Imagine yourself passing all 4 sections on the first try. This has helped to keep me motivated.

My tip would be to actually devote your time to studying and schedule your study time like you would your gym time or a business meeting.

There are a lot of great study tips on here, so I will give my best career tip: remain curious and engaged. Don't be complacent about free time. If you have extra time and capacity, always ask for a way you can help out. You will be amazed at how quickly you can own new projects, and propel your career forward.
