Sorry everyone that I’m starting this thread a little late this weekend…..I’ve been running around since I woke up at 7am this morning and haven’t stopped until now!! Things great crazy between seeing Santa arrive at the mall (they put on an annual show), going grocery shopping, and taking my older daughter to Toys R Us for b-day party shopping for a friend of hers from her school.

So how’s everyone doing with their studies this weekend???

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!!

Hey JoMarie!!!

Sounds like you are having a great day with your girls!

I am trying to log about 8 hours in today.(about 5 done so far) Strange, but I am rewatching some of Roger's cram in my weak sections. And it really helps. I just think he is my guy!!! I am seeing my scores get better, so feeling some progress. Other than that, just cranking out progress tests in Wiley and Becker!

Have a great rest of the day!

its really a power weekend …still trying to figure out how best to maximise this wknd b4 my tues exam…..like dong halfa thousand question is possible on aud?

[Anonymous]

Sounds like everyone's having a busy weekend!

I'm hoping to put in 5 hours tonight and 10 tomorrow.

Good luck studying, everyone!!

@nnenna

it's definitely possible…

[pacific1]

You all are doing so amazing to me! I am so impressed with your study time especially with having kids, I totally respect and admire you all!

Tomorrow is the day that begins my power 8 days…other than going to see Breaking Dawn (I can't wait until after I test on the 30th) so I will get up early tomorrow and start studying, go see the movie at 10 and then come home and study again…I am hoping to still log a good 9 hours in today,

I've put in about 7 hours so far today in an effort to make up for time lost over the past 2 days after my meltdown. I'll probably get in about 2 more tonight before calling it quits and spending the night with my boyfriend. The plan is to knock out another 10-12 tomorrow.

I'm putting in good time but as I'm hitting final review I feel like I'm seeing this material for the first time! Is this a normal issue with REG studies?

FAR 88 (07/15/11)
BEC 83 (08/31/11)
AUD 81 (10/15/11)
REG 83 (11/26/11)

Good Morning everyone!! I'm planning on finishing up the CRAM videos today. I skipped the ones I was comfortable with, that way I have more time with MCQs.

I logged about 8 hours yesterday. That's even with my Wiley being down. I hope I can get into Wiley at some point today. Good news though..my problem has been escalated to the next person in the chain 🙂 At least they are working on it

AUD- 78
BEC 79
FAR 78
REG 77

Morning!

Yesterday was good, at least moving in the right direction. Ended up with about 9 hrs. Making progress. Today, reviewing transaction cycles-until it sticks!!! And more mcq's.

Have a great study day guys!

[jomarie]

All I can say is thank goodness for Roger!! I just reviewed cash flows, and it makes sense now!! It was one of weak points. Now onto earnings per share, another weak point.

Amen to that! Totally agree with you, I feel like Roger is just the ticket. I wish I had found him sooner!

[pacific1]

I am very envious of you all that have Rogers, I would totally get it if I could afford it. I am basically just teaching myself through doing the questions, I have no review course at all.

[jomarie]

@pacific1 – Believe me, I can't afford any of these review courses. I've taken out so many loans and getting deeper and deeper into debt. Passing this exam is my ticket out of debt!!

@jomarie – I think it is worth it if he helps you understand better, from what I have seen of the demos his method would be really a great help to learning this material.

[Anonymous]

Do you think Roger cram is worth it if I'll only get it a few days before my exam, and I found reading the book more beneficial than watching the lectures I have with my current review material?

If I only have a few days left, is it really worth it to devote a day for doing mcqs instead for watching the lectures?

Thanks.

[pacific1]

@Acct – what review book are you using?
