Best Practice......Part 1

Hello Everyone,

I am back..............., sorry for the time off, I had some personal issues to deal with which has been weighing me down. I had 2 deaths in my family in a span of 6 -7 months. I promise to keep you all hooked up to some tips on how to tackle the CPA exam.

I want to congratulate my fellow bloggers for all their efforts on the exam, and also to all of you out there who have been faithful to writing the exam. Let's all make this our year and break away from the torment of writing this exam.

I was chatting with a friend yesterday, she told me how she was studying for the exam and how it has made her life very miserable. My response was "no pain - no gain" but in reality, I feel her pain. I have been battling this exams since my daughter was born and guess what....She just turned "4" on tuesday.

I have made a commitment, that this would be my year, and I am asking that you all make that commitment with me..."Never say - I can't" - because you would "never be able to". My plan is to study in the "AM", because that is my best time based on my biological clock. You need to study when you brain can take in the most amount of information, not just anytime, because as most people do- we use our free time to surf facebook.... I have more, and promise to share it with you during my next post.

I want to hear from you- I promise I would respond back to you on time. What's you strategy?, and has it been working for you?. I have one that I am going to share with you, and I used it in passing 2 parts of the exam.....I'll share it with you next time.

Take Care,

EEA

Ed,
Keep up with your commitment. YOU CAN DO IT.
Having responsibilities - FT job, family, kids... - is not easy. I am in the same situation.
Believe me, sometimes, I think to be juggling with hot potatoes: each one is important and demanding at the same time.
I am confident that this year is THE ONE.
I am determined to pass all four parts by the end on 2012.
By the way, AM is the best for me. All the gang is still sleeping and I can put a 3 solid hours in, from 4 to 7am.
See you at the finish line, there is a champagne bottle waiting to be popped.

Ciao
