    Hi all,

    So I am currently “stuyding” for REG and by that I mean I have done two chapter but should be on chapter 4 by the end of this week. Yesterday I had a scratchy throat and it turned into a full on sore throat with sneezing, running nose, fever, and not being able to swallow. How does everyone stay motivated to keep studying if they are sick? I can’t get myself to pick up my book 🙁 Or do you just wait until you feel better?

    I would say – you need to get well before you start studying. The body needs to heal and so take some down time to recover and then hit the books hard and study once you are feeling better 🙂

    Unfortunately, I am an expert on this subject. You have to listen to your body and adjust accordingly. Don't get overwhelmed with the big picture. Take small pieces of a module and focus on mastering that…if you learn and retain SOMETHING it's a good day. Your body heals itself while you are sleeping. If your body says “CPA Dilemma – GO TO SLEEP”…listen up and get some rest. It is a waste of time to try and study if your body wants rest. Also, this is a good time to review NINJA notes. Just do the best you can and realize that time will pass and you will feel good again soon!

    Good luck to you!

    Get enough rest and sleep until you get better.

    Whenever I get tired and sleepy while I know there's so much more to study to keep up with my schedule, I keep the Ninja audio or Becker's video lecture playing until I fall to sleep. Most of the time, my CPA materials work better than any over-the-counter sleeping pills in the market.

    Thanks all for the advice! My body is definitely saying to just rest because I can't even lift my head. Guess I'll just attack the chapters when I get better 🙂

    Well we know it is going to be cold and flu season real soon. The added stress of these exams does not help. It sounds like strep throat and sinus infections is what's going around these days. So plenty of rest, liquids (hot or cold) and vitamin C. Works every time.

    I would go ahead and rest…you will feel better a lot faster, and you'll be able to focus. (if you can stand it listen to your ninja audio)

    It begins with a 75
    Been here too long as a cheerleader.....time to pass

    I, too, am having some issues currently. I have a runny nose and have been violently sneezing. I have allergies to my cat so I'm not exactly sure if its a cold, but its certainly not helping with studies…

    Hope you feel better!
