Let’s get going…..my plan is to finish as many lectures as I can by Friday. Friday, I need to move onto MCQs, since my FAR exam is fast approaching.

What’s everyone else’s plan?

Started sitting in May 2002, on and off. But since 2008 I've been nonstop and my scores are....
AUD - 39, 48, 56, 65, 68, 73, 76!!! (Finally passed in Oct 2011!!!) Becker, NINJA, & Wiley
REG - 75 (Lost Credit) 72, 68, 73, 75 (Passed again in Aug 2011) Becker, NINJA, & Wiley
FAR - 65, 68, 75 (Lost Credit) 68, 73, 73, 80 (Passed again in May 2012) Roger, NINJA, & Wiley
BEC - 65, 68, 71, 72, 72, 71, 76 (Lost Credit)- 70, 76!!!! I AM DONE!!! - Roger, NINJA, & Wiley
After 10 long years of studying, I AM DONE!!!! Finally a Licensed CPA in the State of New York!!

Morning!

I am going to listen to the last hour of my Roger cram. And then get thru three chapters in the Wiley Review book and sims, and then over the weekend finish the last three chapters. A big fish to fry for sure, but going to work 8 hour days Mon-Fri. Need to make up some time. I am in the same boat, my exam is coming up on the 23rd!

Thanks for getting a new thread started-I soooo need the push! (audit is not the most exciting 🙂

My goal is to get 5-6 hours in a day and then 15-20 on the weekend. I have about 1600 MCQ's I want to get through this week….I doubt it will happen but if it does then I will be done with the Gleim MCQ's and can move on to Wiley Test Bank. But realistically 1600 seems more than I can take on so if I can get a good 1000 done I will be okay.

My goal is to get 10-15 hours in before Friday and 10-12 hours of review this weekend. Here is what I would like to get done before Friday:

*45 minutes remaining of A5 lecture

*Remaining 80% of A5 HW

*2nd time through atleast half of A3

I am horrible about studying after work, but I really need to stay on track this week because my exam is 11 days away! and I am only 55% to my target of 90 study hours for audit. Hopefully posting on here will help me stay motivated to put in a good 2-3 hours each weekday. Good Luck everyone!!!

Alright! Back to a fresh new week!

Ok I would like to get in 20 hours, split up between 2 chapters of BEC – reading textbook, writing over NINJA notes, reviewing flashcards and doing mcqs.

Don't know yet about the weekend. I guess it depends on what I actually get done this week 🙂

Let's do this!! Good luck!

I took the week off work so I can study. I'm feeling a bit ambitious, looking to get 50+ hours in by Friday night and then another 15 or so over the weekend. I had my wife hide the remote for the TV, so really now there is nothing to do but study.

BEC - 77 (exp. 2/23/12)
REG - 75
AUD - 74
FAR - 11/29/11

Macc Grad – great idea on the tv remote. Good luck!

I'm shooting for 20 hours by Friday and an additional 16 over the weekend.

The plan is to finish listening to all lectures and taking notes by Saturday and start attacking quizzes Sat/Sun. I have about 25 hours of lecture left, so it'll be a loooong week. No Bears game for this little lady 🙁

@KasiaS

When it really feels like a Monday, I often think of this song…

hi Jomarie and all,

Thank you so much for continuing the power 20 week. I didn't respond anything for the past 2 weeks, as I was in the panic mode. (actually, still I am… and I feel like I don't remember anything).

Anyway, it is so great to see the support to each other. We all need this to get through this exam. Keep up the good work. I am planning to do 30 hours this week. Hoping the hours I put in would be more productive. Good Luck.

@KasiaS

🙂 Well, Tuesday's almost here!

For those days when things seem to be going from bad to worse (perhaps like today for you, KasiaS) “Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow” by Fleetwood Mac seems appropriate…

@KasiaS,

LOL!! I didn't watch the game but saw that they won. Da Bears!! BTW could Office Space be a funnier movie??? One of my favs-thanks for the clip–it was great fun!!

@Acct,

What a way to start Tuesday. Thanks for the pump up. I needed this 🙂 Have a great day!

I fell short yesterday, but only by a couple of hours. I am going to make that up during the week. Let's do it guys!!
