So tomorrow is the day I take my first exam. I used the Wiley Book and read the whole book, did every MCQ in the book once, and all the SIMs in the book once. Once I got through with the book one time, I took off work and reviewed for 9 days str8. During my review I worked backwards from NFT(last chapter) to Basic Concepts. I would Read/Skim each chapter depending on the difficulty and I have WTB and would do MCQ after every review. The first half of my review I took detailed notes which have been helpful as I am reviewing them again. I completed reviewing all chapters while doing about a total of 850 MCQ from WTB. I took 1-2 days to go over the simulations in WTB and before doing any of them would quickly review my notes and look over the chapter again(quickly). Today I am just skimming notes and gonna re-visit Govt. and NFT and do a more comprehensive review for these chapters. I will probably do about 50-60 MCQ for just these 2 chapters and maybe alittle MCQ here and there for other chapters. I must say things are starting to click now which is good, but still not confident with this exam.

The Last 8-9 days it has been a struggle to sleep I literally lay in bed for 3+hours I guess I worry a lot…

Anyways I have my exam at 7:30AM and gonna get to bed tonight at 6pm LOL due to the fact I know it will be hard to sleep.

My approach to this exam will be to try and go through the 90 MCQ and not get stuck. If I dont know the question I will guess and flag it and if I finish the 30 MCQ within 45 min I might go back to revisit the question to see if I can solve it. I want to leave plenty of time for SIMs since they do add a lot of points (is it 30 or 40 percent of your grade?).

Thanks to everyone on this forum this place is really a great source of information and everyone on here seems to be grade A class. Any last minute advice would be greatly appreciated

CFOnotCPA, what was the difference between you getting a 72 and then a 76? Did you do anything differently?

What is NFT? I Googled it and got a few answers:

Not for Tourists

National Foundation for Transplants

Nutrient Film Technique

No Further Text

Neuroelectromagnetic Forward Head Modeling Toolbox

But I suspect that none of those are right. LOL

Sounds like you're in good shape!!! Good luck!
