Confessions the night before the test

It’s the night before I take the first part of the CPA Exam.

Audit.

I don’t feel prepared.  I feel a little burnt.

I just took one of those ‘full exams’ from Becker.  The results are sobering and depressing.  I want two more weeks to study.  I want to refocus and redouble my efforts.

I want to not be doing this at all.

Alas, tomorrow night, I start my Regulation class.  I can’t delay Audit.  I can’t put it off.

I don’t feel I used all the tools provided me.

I don’t know all the mnumonics.
I don’t know all the flow charts.
I didn’t touch the ‘final review’ software.
I didn’t memorize all the flash cards.

I DID listen to all the lectures three times.  I DID take all of the multiple choice three times.  I DID look at most of the simulations.

Ugg… I’m nervous.

I put in 8 hours of studying today.  Its 4PM .  I’m not studying any more today.

In a minute, I’m going sledding with my kids.  After that, I’m having dinner, drinking a glass of wine, and going to bed early.

Tomorrow, the morning of the test, I’ll have eggs and toast for breakfast.  I’ll get to the testing center so early, they probably won’t even be open yet.  I’ll have overpriced coffee at Starbucks, and then sit for the test and do my best.

I’ll let you know how it goes…

If it doesn’t work out, I can always go back to lion taming
