How do people stay motivated?

When I get to that point I usually take a night off because clearly if I'm not in study mode it's not going to be productive anyway...My problem is that I have a hard time sitting there for a long time looking at that stuff so I'm usually up once every hour to take a break. But that just helps keep my mind fresh!
BEC 67,70,68,71,75!; FAR 68,67,73,81!; AUD 50,80!; REG 83 (lost credit), 86!

offlineMemberI'm trying to study as we speak but all I can think about is taking a nap or walking the dog. I've been at this cpa exam for almost 2 years now and I always get this way. I have 2 sections down, I just took BEC and am hoping for a PASS! lol I can see the light at the end of the tunnel yet it's still not helping me to sit here all day and study. HELP!!!
I would take a night off to clear my head but then I'll find myself 3 weeks later having not studied haha.

offlineMemberLet me even add... My friend who is taking the exam was devistated when she failed FAR and told me how she was so depressed she didn't know how I did it all the time! Meaning how I fail all the time and am still a happy person lol. My husband's friend failed a Finacial Planner exam and stopped trying. He told him, hey don't be afraid to fail! My wife has been taking the test for 2 years! again meaning that I'm not afraid to fail because I do it all the time.
Even these embarassing comments people make to me isn't enough to motivate me to just sit and study haha.

offlineMemberI am having a hard time too, I am trying to study for right now for FAR but it is so boring I want to stop, this is my last section and it is taking me forever to get thru the information, reading the questions about bonds that are like 2 paragraphs long makes me want to shoot myself. I can't even get thru all the information one time, I bought lectures for my study material and the professor teaching them is so monotone I can't even listen to him and reading the lectures is impossible cause I need to read each paragraph 5 times to even understand what the material is saying. What a**hole invented all of these stupid rules for every little thing that happens in accounting, whoever it was, I hate him. Wish I could just hit the powerball and just burn all these books.

Many people have talked about this exam being awful, but I didn't think it was too bad. The MCs weren't bad. The SIMS were the hardest part.
