Well….I had grand plans of taking this exam in July. But I failed BEC in May and lost focus again. And then busy season rolled in. My stupid a** decided in May when I bought BEC to go and and buy FAR too. Well that was dumb because when you buy it May you have to take it in November. Completely forgot until I tried to reschedule FAR to the end of November but for some reason it wouldn’t let me move it past Nov. 8th. Well duh….I am an idiot.

Taking FAR tomorrow after 6 solid days of cramming. I managed to make it through 1,300 questions with the last 200 remaining at 11:30PM Friday night around capital leases and bonds and pensions, the three I skipped because I struggle hard on them.

…..I will not sleep tonight. I will be tired for the exam.

Let this be a lesson, because I know I am going to fail this, if you have a plan….stick to it and don’t schedule to sit unless you really mean it. This biggest part, I had to cram for.

Just took my first testlet of my Wiley exam and got a 43. Anyways. I am surprised I learned as much as I have been able too and getting through 1,300 questions in the short amount…it’s just not enough time. 12-13 a day for 6 days is a lot of hours.

What time is your test tomorrow? I don't think it is a good idea to beat yourself up the night before your test day. You need more of your energy tomorrow like a soldier facing a battle. You need at least 6-7 hours of sleep.

The night before my FAR test, I went to bed at 12MN and woke up at 7 for my 8am test. Your notes, flashcards, notes, and more notes are going to be your advocates in these last hours prior to testing. I'd set aside those MCQs.

Good luck!

Test isn't until 12:30. Thinking about going ahead and sleep a few hours and hitting again in the morning. So tired right now.

Quite honestly you are better served getting solid sleep at this point than studying. 8 hours of studying when you are too tired to retain anything gets you nowhere while 8 hours of sleep will help you recall much better on exam day. Also…and I take these on exam day only….check out GNC they make a B12 supplement with extended release caffeine over 6 hours. It's like taking the exam with a constantly full cup of coffee right next to you.

MBA,CMA,CPA, CFF?, ABV?

Been busting it!

I am now comfortable with pensions and leases enough to at least not be deer in the headlights. Feeling a little better.

Well….I think I got a very good draw on multiple choice. Simulation absolutely destroyed me though. I got 3 of 7 perfect. I am sure of it. The other 4 I only got portions of them correct…maybe on one not at all.

Gonna be close. Hope that “curve” helps me out.
