I finished going over the CPAexcel study text and MCQ, and am writing Ninja Notes (which honestly doesn’t seem to help that much), and have around 3 weeks left before the exam. I am just wondering, what should I do for the 3 remaining weeks? And also, I am just wondering, how can I get better at simulations?

I think you'll be surprised at how much you may be retaining as you are writing those notes. I did it for AUD and I distinctly remember visualizing some things I rewrote during my exam. I think you should take a practice exam now, pinpoint your weak areas, focus on those for the next week or so, then start reviewing in sections. Reread a section of notes, do a short practice quiz on that section, repeat until you've gone through all the sections. Knowing your MCQ and your notes are huge for SIMS. Look at your lists so you can answer those types of SIMS. I got one on my practice today that made me put categories for each thing (pre-ace adjustment, ace adjustment, etc) and I didn't do well on it so I know I need to focus on that list of information and make sure I know it for the test. I got another one that I answered 100% because the topic came up a lot in my MCQ practice. Learning how to search the AL and knowing the basic sections of where to find the information for given topics could help with the SIMS, but I wouldn't worry about that in lieu of working more MCQ and focusing on “lists”.

I'm in the same boat as you — 3 weeks from tomorrow I have FAR (8/8). I use CPAExcel for study materials but just kicked off a MCQ onslaught of Gleim.

Nothing is rewarding as when you start seeing that little green word that says “Correct” after each question. Makes me wanna dance! 3 weeks… lessssssssss gooooooooooooooooooo!

Goal is to finish writing ninja notes today. Not going to sleep until I do.
