A,

I have only one request.Please dont rush the next
time.Give urself enough time to complete far,and then for
bec..

also,combo of becker and wiley seem to have some magic.

Let me tell u how i used each section...

Bus Struc--everything except corporation,i did from wiley
alone.Corporations from becker,because olinto has weaved
magic into his lectures.

economics--concentrated more on becker,but thoroughly did
wiley theory too.questions from both.ALL of the MCQs.Not
just the minimum to do questions from yaeger.

fin---leverage(operational/fin),cash flows from
becker.other than that,everything else from wiley
alone.ALL questions again.

IT--Both becker and wiley.questions too.Read the entire
wiley chapter of IT.Fot IT,i did wiley CD questions
also.plus,gleim book questions.

Costing--ABC example and traditional costing examples,BEC
analysis,budgeting,investment decisions from becker.All
other concepts from wiley.Wiley is awesome for
variances.But becker has the top quality mcqs for costing
in their software.

Also,if u have becker,pls stick through the sup questions
of costing and fin.

Have courage,chin up ALL time!!

Good luck!

Don't be too down. I know many people who have failed and although it sucks, you will rebound back just like they have. Just be diligent in studying and I know you can do it. Best of luck and future success!

Thank you all. I feel a little better today. I was thinking last night why I failed and I realized that something is off with my study habits. I did not do it religiously as I suppose to. I broke the cardinal rules of studying by:

1. I went fishing in the weekends or even after 7pm during the weekdays of my study time.

2. I took off one whole week having fun at the beach two months prior to my exam.

3. I had a stressful week before my exam,  my boyfriend bought me a new car and sold the old one, and then I had to worry about registering it and went to DMV just to find out that the office is closed for the Holidays.

4. The day of my exam, I had to be at DMV early in the morning to register my car and drove it to the exam site in the afternoon (which I had not visited before - got to find it thru mapquest).

5. I was not relaxed when I got to the exam site. I was hungry. I did not eat lunch. I was literally shaking.

Lessons Learned: I have to be very prepared and plan ahead.  But even if I had all the abovementioned things as obstacles, if I really studied very hard and gave myself extra effort for look for some topics that I feel I was missing in my review, and studied it as well... I could have made it.

But it's never too late. I'll pick myself up and dust and move along. Thank you all for your uplifting words...Congratulations to those who passed. And for those candidates who did not make it like me, we have to do it again until we get our license. Never surrender!
