for me, when the wrong multiple questions answers sound like stupid, I feel like, ok it is time to take the exam. How about you guys? when do you feel like you are ready for the exam?

I have yet to feel “ready” rather I get to my exam date and say “let's do this”.

This could be my problem. Lol. Lesson learned I guess.

When I am reviewing and stuff is coming natural. Not everything but most things will be. I hit a point where I'll say “at this point if I'm not ready I never will be”. After I take the test I'll either start over or move on if pass.

I have accepted that is a feeling that simply does not exist. I usually set a timeline/date, and whatever I don't know by that time, I just accept that I'm not going to know it. I did have one topic that I had a lot of trouble with on FAR, but I at least kept reviewing it up to the exam date. Well, thank God I did, because it was the first SIM. :0. Eventually, I came to a point where I was just outright tired of studying for FAR, and that was my clue.

I did NOT feel ready for FAR. I passed. I felt ready for REG. I failed. I felt ready for AUD and passed. I didn't feel ready for BEC and passed. So……. I honestly have no good answer.

if you want things to change, you have to do something different

I walked into FAR, REG, and BEC sure that I was going to fail.

I walked out of FAR, REG, and BEC sure that I had failed.

I passed all three first try.

I don't think you ever feel ready, and I don't think anyone walks out thinking they passed. You just have to study your tail off, then study some more, go in relaxed, and do your best.

Weekends are meaningless to a CPA candidate

I don't think you're ever 100% ready, but I've felt ready for both of the exams I've taken. I was super confident for BEC and felt I made an 85-90 walking out of the exam, and made an 88. I felt less confident on REG because I was anxious about the SIMS, but walked out thinking I made between a 75-80, and made an 82. For me, feeling ready means scoring 80% or above on MCQ sections and a general feeling of being at least fairly comfortable with every subtopic. My one exception was BLAW for REG, but I kind of blew it off my final week because I knew it was only 15-20% of the exam, in order to focus on increasing my tax scores.

BEC - 88 8/29/15
REG - 82 11/14/15
AUD - 83 1/8/16
FAR - 80 2/29/16

I'm confident I'll pass when I can pass the practice test.

This is like asking when is the AICPA going to pass you? They'll pass you when they want to pass you. Whether you think you're ready to pass or not, has nothing to do with it.
