Ok Guys! Call me crazy but I am on B2 taking the exam in 4 days.

I know.. Almost impossible but I can’t postpone it so I am in a “crammer” mode. I studied about 2 months ago and planned to take it in November but wasn’t able to. Now I am back at it and I feel I have forgotten everything!!! Sooo many formulas it hurts.

So here I am, cramming info 4 days before the exam. I work full time so I can only study at nights and took friday off – Exam is saturday at 4:30PM Any advice/comments?

Don’t be too harsh please :(!

you may want to grab ninja notes and just pour through those as much as you can.
this post lists formulas – copy the ones you are having trouble remembering as many times as you can

Our value does not come from our skills and abilities, as good as they may be; it does not come from our GPA, our job, a promotion from that job to a better job, our success on the CPA exam, or anything of the like; but our value comes from the fact that we have a Creator who loves us, cares for us, and desires to help us navigate the rough waters of this life in a way that provides security, hope, and true, everlasting joy while we anticipate the life to come, with Him.

Thank you guys! You guys are awesome! I think I am highly worried about chp3 in Becker and Variance Analysis!

Those are definitely my weakest sections.

[monikernc]

for variances pull out your principles 2 book if you have one and go through chapter examples. that is what i have done to study.

@monikernc I don't have a principles book. Thank you so much for your responses.. You're a savior.

I will review COSO..but it doesn't worry me as much as the math portion of this exam because of the many formulas 🙁

[monikernc]

watch a roger video on variances on youtube then
make sure you tell us how this went when you are done.

Thank you all! I wish I wasn't working today!!! I took tomorrow off and will pull an all-nighter today.. third in a row!

I NEED to pass this! I am going to write down the formulas and practice MC as progress tests so I don't do ALL homework because I don't have time anymore.

Areas I will DEF review… COSO (I have an audit background so I'm not super scared about this one), Cost accounting (slightly since I studied it pretty well) Variance Analysis (again, this one freaks me out) and IT

Please keep the comments/advice and good vibes coming. Much appreciated.

Good luck! You sound crazy focused. Very inspiring!

[SomwhereOvertheRainbow]

@BeautifulNim haha I wish. I just dont have time to study.. I'm on B3 and my exam in on Saturday- I'm more like desperate :/

[Anonymous]

@SomewhereOvertheRainbow I hear you. I am not running quite so tight, but I do know the desperate feeling. At this point you skip the exam or you fight. I love that you are fighting.

[SomwhereOvertheRainbow]

@BeautifulNim :') I need this. Thank you. Hope you do great as well.
