    Anyone else doing marathon study sessions this weekend and next? I am. I’m off this Friday through Monday and I’ll be spending it studying for as many hours as I can handle, starting right now. Let the fun begin!

    I am DETERMINED to pass FAR!

    I'm in hiding as well, house to myself for the weekend! (everyone is gone doing fun things of course)

    T-rex you're awesome, good game plan!

    I promised myself I wouldn't do the Becker simulated exam… since it usually kills my confidence. However, I just scored a 94 on Wiley practice exam, then an 83 choosing “bookmarked questions” So I think I might just do that simulated exam tonight… why not?

    @Peanut,

    Yay, you have the house to yourself! That's great! I'm avoiding my phone, email, and surfing the net as those can be major time sucks.

    I'm always torn about those simulated Final Exams too! They can be confidence killers. If I don't end up taking them, I may go through and just look at the answers to each question to make sure I understand the concept being tested.

    Good luck on the simulated exams if you decide to do them. You're scores on Wiley are awesome!

    Six days left…its not so FAR away. Reviewing difficult areas and then Mon-Thurs I will be using test prep to test all areas in chunks of 30 questions per 5 study units each quiz. Total of four quizzes to hit all 20 units of Gleim. I will try to get at least two rounds in of quizzes in before exam day on Friday. I am so done with this thing. Good luck to everybody.

    ps: I am ready to have a little guilt-free breather before moving to BEC.

    I think I might just be tapped out for the day. Did two practice exams in Wiley, and the Becker simulated exam. I think my brain is possibly fried and/or melting! You guys are crazy doing 12 hours, I did 9 hours total and I'm dead, I don't think I could do an extra 3!!!

    I'll be studying all weekend. I take my exam on Friday. Third time's the charm, right? That's what the CFO/CPA at my company said today (my boss's boss, who took 3 tries to pass one of his exams too). He's a very intelligent guy, which makes me feel a lot better!

    Have to pass!!!

    I'm on central time, so it's almost 10:30 p.m. here. Oh what a sleepy (but DETERMINED) T-rex.

    I've got at least 2 more hours to go to reach my goal for the day. 10 MCs to go and then it's time for a T-rex 10-minute power nap and then some decaf hot tea. zzzzzzzzz

    Are you still studying too, Peanut? What time zone are you in?
