So today is the beginning of busy season for my firm as well as my first real day of studying (we've only had one becker class last tuesday).

I'm planning on sitting sometime towards the end of February and wanted to know if anyone was in a similar situation as well as what everyone thinks in general.  I have to work every Saturday and will have very little time during the week to study.  My full-on study time will be friday nights, saturday nights, and sundays. 

Advice?  Encouragement?  Bad news?

Depends on what section you're taking, your knowledge about that section as well as your willingness to put in the time. If you work in tax for instance, i would assume that you'll have a good background when you study for tax and that won't take as much time as others. So it depends.....

Good luck

i think you can do it! It's a matter of how concentrate you can be when you study~and abort the material~

somewhere I read. you need 90 hours to do this...so you do the math...

Put your life on Hold, If you can study for 1 Hour a day then on Fiday/Sat/Sun you put in many more hours each day.

you can definately do it - i have a full time job and 2 little ones - so theres never really an "easy" or "great" time to do it.. bottom line - if you want it badly enough - you can do it.
