    I have about 20 days before BEC testing….I am struggling with consistent study due to tax season..Which is not that busy, but as soon as I am on a roll, my concentration is broken by tax questions or problems. I have plantar Fascist, which is a foot injury (arch of my foot), I was diagnosed with gout by mistake (it figures). I have been in a lot of pain and no shoes. I have been ordered to stay off of it I cannot drive, but I still hop to the office due to tax season. O.k so I am very frustrated and wondering if it is worth cramming for the next 20 days to get BEC out of the way or just reschedule and deal with the new format (nts expires 4/24) I have not passed any section though I have taken several, several times.(I really want to pass, I don’t want to waste anymore money on nts or materials) I also have a new nts for Reg to take next but I know it will have to be new format (after 4/1). I’m just stuck…..I am not a child so please, I am going through enough, I do not need any foolishness or get me told comments. I am serious about passing, but life just seems to happen…maybe too often. But the reason I am posting because I can’t give up. So help if you can. I currently working on IT..
    I also have the whole ninja package (everything) to study with.

    FAR:  77

    AUD: 78

    IT and corporate governance are simple, and econ is mostly simple. I'd suggest blazing through all the MCQ for those topics once (twice for your trouble problems) and then never touch them again.

    What you need to do is DRILL MCQ for financial management, strategic planning, and operations management.

    As far as the materials to use:
    The Ninja Plus operations management with Bob was very helpful in learning cost accounting and strategic management. The financial management lecture was not as helpful, so I would skip that in favor of just drilling MCQ

    BEC, from my perspective, is the most crammable exam. If you do 4,000 MCQ in the next 20 days I don't see how you fail, as long as you're actually reading the explanations for each question after you submit it and taking notes. 200 a day is a bear for full time workers though, 120 is about my max on a workday.

    Done! 9 tests over 16 months. Failed first 3 with Becker. Passed 4 of next 6 with Ninja MCQ.

    FAR: 39,59,TBD
    BEC: 74,79
    AUD: 77
    REG: September

    Read your signature. You've been here as a cheerleader TOO LONG. You're the New England patriots, down by 25 points at the half and it isn't looking good at all. Do you rally, achieve what some say isn't possible or do you use all your time outs? You're going to need some serious grit to put this to bed, where's the fire in you? Where's the declaration that this is YOUR TIME? Do you own the exam or the other way around? I want to hear you yell from the roof that the CPA exam is now your b$!=&! You can absolutely pass in 20 days but you'd better own it, right here right now.

    I'm in…I haven't cancelled. I closed the prometric site and put the nts away. I am not and has never been a quitter, but I must admit, this test has brought me to my very knees, not that I didn't need to pray anyway…but I just had in my mind how am I going to pull this off with so much going on. But I'm in and loading up the mcq's . The goal is 200 per day, right or wrong, things have been slow today so I'm getting started. I'm going for it. I really appreciate you guys. Sometime we need that boost.

    I have taken in all the comments, I have reconsidered, and I am going for it……I just felt down and like not getting anywhere with my studies….It's not like I'm not studying, I have been since Dec, I just don't feel like it. Can't go off of feelings. I was also shying away from the mcq's due to wrong answers feeling like I should go back to read the book and then get caught up instead of keep going. I think I'll be ok. But I am determined to pass this time. Wish me luck.
