ssham1976, you're as prepared as you reasonably can be (and I think you actually reached that point many weeks ago). "Reasonably" as in you won't be any more prepared unless you take a few more years to memorize every piece of GAAP literature there is out there.
I think you have put in more than twice the amount of time I spent studying for FAR. I spent just 9 weeks, while working full time (40 hours/week). I remember you from when I took FAR (early July), and I think you had already studied more than I had at that point. I think that as long as you know everything in the review materials well, you will pass. I reviewed everything in my main book (Bisk) at least 2 times, a few topics 3 times, and I did go into greater depth for a very few topics by looking them up in my intermediate accounting textbook (Kieso).
Still, I, and many other people on this board, got monstrous simulations with tabs on topics I had never seen before or that were not covered in the review materials. But you know what? That didn't matter. Apparently many of the questions were experimental, because I ended up with a 99. And if you look at the FAR Results thread, many other people who got those awful sims, including people who left a tab or two blank, passed with good or decent scores as well.
So just have faith in yourself, knowing that you are more than well prepared, and knock out that exam next week. Don't let any wacko questions shake your confidence, since they might just be experimental. And make sure you allow yourself enough time to do a good job on the written communications. Good luck!
