    Hey everyone!

    So this is it! Today is the last day of studying before my exam. I am scheduled to take my exam at 8:30am tomorrow morning and it takes about 1hr to get to the testing center via public transportation.

    How late should I stay up to cram? I am finally breaking down Ch. 10 piece by piece but I really wanted to 1) go over the SIMS one more time and 2) re-read Ch.8-9 before I take the test.

    That being said, how late should I stay up? Should I just skim through the ANSWERS to the SIMS instead of trying to actually complete them?

    I wouldn't stay up too late, you don't want to be tired trying to work through this test. Go to bed at your normal time, a time where you know you will not over sleep and can function. Go over notes, ratios, mnemonics and any part that makes you scream. What ever you do keep it simple it's test time. You got this….Good luck tomorrow.

    I believe that a good nights sleep will probably be more beneficial than any amount of late night cramming would do for you. Wake up refreshed and ready to go, then study those chapters on the public transportation on your way there.

    Yeah, I agree with everyone else. The days after I've stayed up late to study I've done HORRIBLY. Instead of getting 80%+ (my average), I'd fail all the practice MCQs. Good luck!!

    *This is my 2nd attempt at the CPA exam. For all of you who have failed this exam many times, given up on it, or taken a break like me, remember that it is still possible to finish what you started...failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently πŸ™‚
