What is everyone’s favorite day to take an exam? Mine was always Monday, as I was able to have a full 2 days to study/relax beforehand. The local Prometric is no longer open on Monday or Tuesday, so I take what I can get.

For everyone else, what is your favorite day to test and why?

I don't like to test on weekends & early AM. Anything after 12:30 or 1pm.

Saturday's around 11 am. Sleep in a little and then get to the testing center and I don't have to miss work.

Monday afternoon for 2 reasons… my husband is home on the weekends to watch our 2 kids while I'm doing a final review and that gives him a 3 day weekend b/c he has to take off to watch the kids while I'm testing. I'm not a morning person and the closest testing center to me is an hour away, so i always do the 12:00 time. However, due to the holiday this Monday, I have to take BEC on Tuesday which works out fine b/c now I get 3 full days of final review while hubby watches the kids.

Friday at anytime after 12:PM. Not a Monday though. My sister comes home on the weekend and she is a tornado and a bit of a cruel person.

Friday. After the exam, it's off to the bar that night to try and forget everything I've crammed into my head the previous couple months. Then sleep alllll day Saturday.

That's exactly what I did this weekend. I try to take two days off with work… the day before the exam and the day of.

Monday or Tuesday around noonish. I have the weekend to study and my husband's home to watch the girls while I do. Then on exam day, I drop the girls off at the daycare at their normal time (like I'm going to work). Come home eat breakfast, then off to the prometric center. I have to drive about 45 minutes but I usually left my house about 2 hours before my exam time. When I arrive at the center, I review NINJA notes in the car, then sign in about 30 minutes before exam time. They usually have me start right away or a few minutes after. I like starting a little earlier then my scheduled time, so I can leave a little earlier then my scheduled time.

Started sitting in May 2002, on and off. But since 2008 I've been nonstop and my scores are....
AUD - 39, 48, 56, 65, 68, 73, 76!!! (Finally passed in Oct 2011!!!) Becker, NINJA, & Wiley

After 10 long years of studying, I AM DONE!!!! Finally a Licensed CPA in the State of New York!!

I think Friday might be my favorite day to test, 11:30 or 12:30 timeslot. I am forced to think about something else for at least half the week (work and school), and I can only review so many hours before I am forced to get some rest. It kind of keeps me from winding myself into knots and studying 128 hours over the weekend.

Monday, hands down. My ideal time slot would be 9am, but I usually end up having to choose between 7am and 11:30am. I go for the 11:30 slot and sleep in until about 8, review my notes, go for a run to release the nervous energy, shower and get there early enough to read through my notes one last time. My co-worker prefers Friday so he can enjoy the weekend before starting the next section, but that would just stress me out!

BEC 81
AUD 76
FAR 70, 76
REG 58, 78! DONE!
