    Any good tips to stay motivated while waiting for the delayed score release on Aug. 22nd? I have the ninja 10 point combo and was supposed to be reading 15-20 pages a day so the material stayed fresh in my head. I have fallen behind on that and seem to be having a really hard time studying. This wait is just awful.

    Studying the same source can become very stagnant.

    To break-up the monotony, I would try researching a topic or two that may have given you trouble. Then add it to the notes you've been taking while going through your CPA study materials.

    The idea is a different look at the material may help you see things better. We can always improve, and that can translate to more points on exam day.

    My two cents.

    I totally agree with you. This was my third time sitting for this part and by now some of the Ninja MCQ answers I have memorized since the numbers look familiar. I will look into studying new material.

    Find something difficult that you want to do, but couldn't because of studying and do it. That for me has been learning VBA programming. I have already automated a process that was previously completed by 14 ppl now it will be able to be done by one person. You have to keep yourself occupied or the “what-ifs” will drive you crazy.
