Good luck! I take REG on 8-31 and I just cannot get myself motivated to study! I feel terrible about it, but I am guessing that is not the same kind of terrible Olinto was meaning…this whole process stinks!

@IwannaBaCPA I totally agree. I've gotten to the point of not caring anymore.

That is just how I'm feeling. I had a plan of rewriting all of Jeff's NINJA notes this weekend and I've only gotten as far as page 32 of 119. I think now I'm going to do it by section. I've finished accounting changes and done MCQs and did well on the MCQs, now I'm working on Financial Reporting. It just seems to never end. I've lost my whole summer to these exams and I'm hoping it's going to pay off. I've hit my limit, I just want to be DONE!!

Totally empathize with everyone. Right now listening to Mike Potenza on IT. I am so ready to be done with this and better pass the exams this quarter, I'm quickly losing steam.

Ok back to lectures. Good luck everyone!

great thread.

depressed and losing my gumption. It is a catch 22.

sooooo i should get back to the studying. has anybody written the notes over for Audit? did it really help? there are so many details in this that I wasn't sure if it helped as much.

[jomarie]

I rewrote some of the NINJA notes for Audit. I didn't finish cause I ran out of time and just concentrated on doing tons of MCQs.

No joke.

I'm taking BEC in 2 weeks. I took FAR in July. I'm seriously hoping that I at least pass 1 of the 2. My mood changes day to day…sometimes I think I passed FAR and other days I think I failed! lol I will be really depressed if I leave this testing windown 0-2 ugh

If I miss any parts this window I lose BEC and it took me about 6 or 7 times before I passed that section. I really don't want to lose it!! I changed my studying ways this time around so I hope that helps.

Hang in there, everyone…

[IwannaBaCPA]

Hang in there everyone…I totally understand how you all are feeling. I am still struggling to focus on this last exam (REG). I wish I knew my score for AUD!

This is quite a mental marathon and it is so hard to keep going! I can't imagine how this must feel for those of you who have been at this for a lot longer than me. I am truly amazed by your perseverance!

I started back in the paper and pencil days…lol. But faithfully since 2008. I just told my husband and kids I was going to my room to study and my 15 month old said “Buh-Bye”. I bearly see my kids at all these days between working and studying.
