    Hey team!

    I’ve been mia the past month because my job in the public accounting world started. I just wanted to show up to tell everyone who’s been studying AND working that they’re my heroes! I was lucky enough to get to study for FAR, REG, and AUD full time (two out of the way, waiting on my AUD score). I’ve been trying to study BEC the past two weeks and I cannot seem to find the energy to study. I get home from work and literally veg on the couch until bed time. My exam is in a month and I’m halfway through B2, so I’m trying that tactic of studying an hour before work, an hour at lunch, and an hour after work.

    Good luck to everyone next Friday! Let’s pray for 75s all around!

    Throw being pregnant on top of it! lol
    I feel like I'm going to die.

    I just took BEC and I hope to God I passed b/c that'll be my last one and I can't keep my eyes open after work anymore.
    (I don't feel very confident though.)

    I'd definitely recommend studying during lunch and listening to lectures during your commute. I take the train so thankfully I can do MCQ on the train (if I'm awake and if the other passengers aren't being distracting.)

    Good luck! 🙂

    I passed my first exam (FAR) while studying at a corporate job. Then went to public accounting and passed AUD and BEC before busy season. Studied during tax season for REG (Mistake!) and failed, then failed again with a 74. Only reason I say mistake is because it was detrimental to my health and it was definitely affecting me at work.

    I guess one way to think about all this is short term sacrifice for long-term gain. Once you pass you're donezo. It's worth the 6 months to however long.

    I'm sort of fortunate I don't have kids or anything so all of my time could be devoted to working and studying..

    Waiting for Nov 4th hope I'm done!

    FAR- 5/11/15 76!!
    AUD-10/31/15 63, 84!
    REG-7/12/16 72
    BEC-8/31/15 75!! Perfect Score!
