I feel so overwhelmed - Page 2

    I have studied everything there is to study in FAR (except derivatives, which I just will not do- don’t ask), I have gone over every major topic twice. I have two giant poster boards with all my important notes and j/e, I have always been great at journal entries and t accounts, so I just can remember many topics because of that alone. My exam is tomorrow and I am watching some important NINJA plus lectures on topics I can’t seem to remember 100%, I have never studied so hard in my life.

    For the last 2 weeks I have studied 7-8 a day 7 days a week (and this last week I have stayed home, kicked everyone out my house and didn’t move for up to 8 hours straight- break to eat only). Every single topic makes sense to me, and I am not confused about anything, BUT I still feel like I don’t know a damn thing. I am getting MCQ’s wrong because I forget to add one number, or I am forgetting which rate to use because I can’t remember the rules like “use implicit rate if known and if lower than borrower’s incremental rate” I can remember it now, but during the exam I think I am going to tell myself “if higher or lower, shit which is it” and then I’ll freak out because not knowing that simple damn rule can change everything. This applies to all the small rules I can’t seem to retain.. Am I just not smart enough for this?

    When I take a practice exam or quiz on random topics, I forget which topic I am being asked about, I have anxiety when the question is too long, and I feel like the last 1.5 months was for nothing because I don’t know shit when it comes actually down to it.

    I feel like if they just sat down and had a chat with me and asked me everything I know about GAAP, accrual, and financial statements, they would pass me in a minute, BUT for some reason I get so tripped up with multiple choice questions, I always think they are messing with me and even when I think I have the answer I assume they are messing with me and try to find some loop hole when there isn’t one.

    I don’t have question here, but I think I’m losing my mind. My friends think I’m actually going crazy.. I think so too.

    Have a great day. :/

    JMS, the more the merrier. Lol 😬

    Alright, I'm sorry! I'm done for the day, I'm gonna watch a funny movie (i.e anything that stars Kevin Hart) and then I'm going to sleep! Good luck to anyone taking the exam tomorrow and thank you everyone for calming me down, it really helped.

    LOL @jms blame Jeff for allowing profile pictures on here. It makes us 20-something year old men forget that we are all CPA robots and that there are no humans, let alone good looking females on here.

    @ charlene…I like your style. We gotta party someday. 🙂

    @ CPA2BEE…heck I am a 40 plus year old man and I now what you're saying. And it is good for people to help each other along with this CPA exam madness. It is stressful for all of us and we care so much about this. my score release is the 16th and my BEC did not go smooth. Last one and I am worried about it. So I am right there with ya'll.

    Lmao! You guys are hilarious!

    The CPA exam does have a way of stripping all the fun you once had and making you an apocalyptic zombie.

    I remember busting my ass on derivatives…and I was furious when I didn't get a single question on them.

    Humor is very important throughout our entire lifetimes….but especially in stressful times like these. It makes people happy. I will be extremely if I don't pass BEC. I studied about 150-160 hours and I lose FAR credit in May. Yes there is time but I cannot possibly prepare or do better on the BEC exam than I did the other day. I went back to school at 40 years old for the accounting degree…did a career change. I have a lot riding on this like you do. I feel overwhelmed sometimes too…but gotta laugh some.

    Guess what??! I took the exam and didn't die from it. I didn't even cry!~ That's a big deal. Thank you to everyone for the great advice, it is true when they say “you'll be surprised at how much you remember” I was shocked at the details I thought I didn't remember creep up when I needed them most.

    I finished all my sims (not saying I did them all correct, but I finished themmm) and I had 15 minutes to spare! I probably failed, cause that's how it goes lol, but I still feel good that I tried my best and did my best.

    Congrats CharleneR! You see? Just have some confidence in yourself. You probably did better than you think. Don't be so sure that you failed. When I left FAR last year I laced the entire universe with profanity after profanity. I passed. 😉

    Get a hot meal, put your feet up and get some rest.

    Good job.

    I just got a 68 on REG and put 0's on all my sims and didn't answer the research lol. If I can come that close you absolutely have a chance!

    Yeah, my score comes out at 1am. So I'll be getting super drunk on the 15th and staying up late and either crying all night or staying up all night screaming. Either way I will not be sleeping.
