    This section may be the death of me. I’m struggling to understand and remember a lot of the concepts. I feel like there are so many different and unrelated topics on this section.

    Ok, now back to studying….

    Hang in there.

    Try to bundle the topics into these 5 sections:
    COSO
    Economics
    Capital management/budgeting
    IT
    Cost Accounting

    Memorize the equations first, some equations should be straightforward. some of the tougher equations make take more time to memorize

    I'm done done!

    Thanks for the encouragement! I actually changed up my study methods today to somewhat reflect that. I've been focusing on capital management today since that seemed to be my weakest area. I'll continue working on that for awhile until I get a better feel for it, then move to a different topic. With the other sections I would just hammer MCQs with a random mix, and that method did not work for this section. I've got 3 weeks before I take it, so hopefully I'll start to feel more confident in a few days.

    I was trying to utilize the study method that worked over the summer – hammering MCQs to learn the material. But for this section I don't feel like that's going to work the way I was doing it before. So now I'm switching it up a little. I read up on one topic yesterday and now I'm hammering questions on just that topic. In a couple of days, I'll move on to the next weakest topic, and rinse and repeat.

    This section is also the one I have the least amount of experience in, so that could be why it's such a struggle. I work in public, so I do stuff relating to the other 3 almost daily. This one, not so much.

    Do not underestimate simulations. I got very hard ones. Make sure to practice all on your review and AICPA website. This exam is much harder than before. I would say this exam's difficulty level went up higher than any other since the new version rolled out.
