    I have just REG to pass and I am taking it May 30. However, here in ND the weather is just starting to be decent and the last thing I wanna do is sit inside a house and study. Anyone else have this problem before?

    Used Becker online. Who needs a text when you can burn your eyes out staring at the screen for months on end?

It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you're hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"

    You can enjoy the weather now and end up taking all the sections multiple times like me (17 in total). It is awesome to pay that fee month after month.

    Think about this: Would you repeatedly blow off work, school, chores because it was nice out (sure maybe once or twice but not as a rule, right?) If you don't treat this as optional, you'll find a way to get it done even with disctractions!

    Honestly if i was in your situation there is NO WAY IN HELL i would not have motivation now.

    Considering all the exams you took and you are 75% done and now you have one more to knock out before completing your quest i would be extremely motivated to study.

    I would buy black drapes and cover the sun and stick my self in a room and study lol.

    It's what ever you have to do to pass and be done. Self discipline and endurance is the name of the game. 24 hours to re-group, come to your senses and get it done. It will be may in another 10 days and then it ‘s hustle time. You don't have long, and it will still be nice after May 30th when you can really enjoy the nice weather.

    It begins with a 75

    I studied outside a lot last summer and that helped. Or I would make weekend cutoff at like 3 so I could still enjoy weather. After busy season I do find it hard to ignore daylight haha.

    Ugh I feel you!!! I'm in the mitten and it has been nothing but snow and rain and ugliness!!! This past week it just started getting nice and it has definitely affected my studying. Doesn't help that my boyfriend just got a t-top convertible either. So what I've been personally doing the last few days was getting up at 7am showering and eating breakfast. Studying from 8-1 or 2pm then enjoying the rest of the day. Not sure if it's smart or not lol but if I don't pass then I'll be screwed and have to study the rest of the summer! Like others said study outside that's what I did when I took far last August. I sat on my swing porch and read the Becker book. I even went to Florida for a week and took the Becker book and laptop with me.
