Happy Friday everyone!!!!

If you are within 2 weeks of your test date then you don’t need to go outside, go shopping, go out to dinner, or see your pals. What you need to do is lock yourself inside your home study space or where ever you are most productive and remind yourself that a small sacrifice now means a lifetime of study freedom!

Let’s put the nails in the coffin of the CPA exam!!!!!

This weekend I challenge you to:

1. Clock 10-15 hours of study time

2. Minimum of 300 MCQs. Of the 300, 50 from your worst topic again and 50 from your best topic. I think it’s important to keep your strong topics sharp and to keep tuning up the weak ones!

3. Minimum of 30 Sims. You really do need to practice SIMS, especially if you are taking Audit. Trust me on that one. If you’re on BEC, then just review your notes on grammar, sentence structure, and such…or just do more MCQs! 😉

4. Recopy your notes from your personal worst topic twice.

5. Listen only to Ninja Audio in your car.

6. Use your flashcards when and wherever possible!

Can you hang tough with me this weekend??? Do you want to be done with this horrible crap??? Do you want your life back??? I do!!!!!! Don’t you???

Please check in on this thread to share your progress updates, for support requests, for rants, or if you need an accountability check this weekend!

So…are you in???

GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

REG: 75 DONE 🙂
AUD: 61, 71, 68, 92 DONE 🙂
BEC: 76 DONE 🙂
FAR: 72, 74, 79 DONE 🙂

I'm in for the 10 – 15 hours study time (aiming for 12hrs), flashcards, and audio. Still going through the videos so I'm not ath the point of re-writing notes or non-stop MCQs yet. I will do 3-4 progress tests on past material though.

I'd like to finish through Revenue Recognition under LT Debt on CPAExcel (just finished up Bonds).

FAR - 73, rematch in early April
AUD - 5/14
REG - 8/14
BEC - 11/14

I'm in! I've been so lazy I had to reschedule FAR, which is about 2.5 weeks away now. I've decided to do just Becker review instead of WTB, so I need to keep moving forward on my review after finishing all the modules. Currently reviewing F2, and I'd love to get 15hrs by Sunday evening. If I can finish F2, F3, and maybe F4 reviews, that's lots of MCQ's, notetaking, and new flashcards.

I'm doing mostly fine getting the material into my head with this system, I just need to pick up the pace a bit! FAR is sooooo slow for me!!

I'm in for the 10-15 hours or more of study time this weekend. Signed up to take FAR December 2nd and haven't started yet. Really tough time at work making it hard to concentrate, losing my job after 14 years due to acquisition. Last day is next Friday. But I need to put that out of my mind and get FAR knocked out in December.

REG 49,72,74,82
AUD 73,83
BEC 74,76
FAR 80
After nine tests I am finally DONE

I'm in for all of it. Kids are with my parents practically every weekend until my 11/13 test date so I can power study each weekend. If only I could get the husband to stop watching Youtube videos without his ear plugs in. 🙂 I will be putting in at least 6 hours after work today, 14 hours tomorrow, and 8 hours on Sunday. Finishing up the last chapter in AUD, rewriting my notes, and answering at least 400 MCQs and the rest of the SIMS. Then I have two full weekends to review my weak areas. We can do this guys!!!
