I usually try not to study the day before the exam, so my brain can relax a little. Also, get as much sleep as possible so you are fresh for the exam. Good luck!!

Does anyone know when to stop studying? Usually, I study so much where it starts to get repetitive, but man this one is killer.

I feel like I remember some things, then I forget another as I learn new ones. I think I'm at the point where I just want to take it already and get it over with since I've been studying non-stop for the past 6 weeks.

Of course, any last minute tips?

That's been happening to me a lot to for me it just means slow down, don't assume you know what their asking and just start calculating away at the first numbers you see, read the stem then go back, watch out for dates, and read the info carefully.

Get a goods night rest, and eat a good breakfast.

Best of luck.

Wow, don't know what to think of the exam. I just got back:

1st testlet: Medium (30 minutes)
2nd testlet: Hard (1 hour) - Lots and lots of calculations
3rd testlet: Medium-Hard (50 minutes)

1st simulation: Hard
2nd simulation: Easy

Wow, the 2nd testlet threw me for a loop, there were tons of calculation problems. Overall, I don't think there were any surprises. I used Becker to study and skimmed over some information that ended up being on the simulations. If I had any advice, I would make sure to know everything and it helped when I wrote down journal entries/numbers to see what I was dealing with. I left with about 8 minutes left on the clock, I made sure my communication was as good as it could be on the second simulation. We'll see, good luck to everyone taking the exam!

you did you go to UofH and also do you recommend doing
the supplemental questions if so how many time and also
do you suggest doing the progess test and how many time
should I look at simulations?

From they way you sound, I think you passed the exam. A lot of people don't even get to finish the sims and yeah that will be me. Did you supplement MCQ's from other sources other than Becker? Do you think Becker prepared enough for the exam? How long did you study for the exam? I'm freaking out because my test is in 10 days and I don't think I'm ready.... *sigh* I still get lots of MCQ's wrong from Becker and the Becker simulation is really hard I think...
