I'm on the home stretch waiting on my last exam, and from my experience I've realized that it is WAY more important that you read the notes, slides, flashcards, etc. Study those and use the questions to review the reading.
It sucks to read and it's a lot more comfortable to just do questions all day, but you need to see the big picture and how all these things connect and work together in order to feel comfortable with the exam.
I've failed my last two exams by 1 point (passed on next try), and by 2 points on AUD (first attempt). Failure is apart of this process and life in general. We're all scared. If you don't think I'm having periodic heart attacks every time I refresh my Gmail inbox you're dead wrong. The fact that you're scared means that you did something worth while. I remember being devastated after failing AUD my first try bc I was convinced I passed, but after I accepted it and started planning my next exam I felt a wave of relief and euphoria. At the end of the day we all just have to keep moving, the CPA Exam is not the last challenge you'll have in life, but it will help you be able to deal with adversity and it will get easier the more you work at it.
