I dont know about you guys but my plan is: - light ethics read in the morning - play black ops 5 hours - watch a movie or two - in bed by 9pm What i havent learned in 5 months im not going to on the last day and i see a lot of value in beimg well rested. I did this for level 1 and worked great. I crammed all day on fri for level 2 and failed miserably and i could tell i was just tires on the exam day
agreed I dunno why that at the moment I am not worried about the exam at all…I just want to get it over asap… I dun feel like studying anymore. I ll take it easy this last week. I been at this for months, it definitely takes more than 1 week to fade the memory.
Good call
Fishing for 5 hrs, review notes, solve questions i had wrong on mocks (2009-2011), and have a 5 scoops of haagen dasz at night =) … lol

Maybe my system can’t take anymore of L2 torture!
I’m also having problems studying. It seems like no matter what I do I’m getting the same score. I’m having trouble figuring out what I should be doing now. Maybe I’ll write down every equation and memorize them again or something, or do EOCs again…
I agree… Friday will be a very light study day, I might just breeze through the formulas for a couple hours and read Ethics questions for a bit Going to wake up really early friday so that I can be asleep by like 9pm Spend the evening watching a movie, or maybe a bunch of Tosh.O I should probably be more stressed, but I literally am not at all… Not even very confident, just feel like I’ve put the required time in so now I just will see what happens on exam day… I’ve tried my best atleast so what more can I do… After all, it’s only an exam and worse comes to worse I just do it again next year having a really good background
I am fairly relaxed about the exam now. However, the problem I tend to have is sleeping the night before, my brain is stressed and crammed full info I am waiting to release and tend to get to sleep late on Friday and wake early…not an ideal scenario to put in a decent performance.
I think that im addicted to EOC now 
! i did all EOC except for fixed income in 2 days and a half? wtf? I really need a break… Guys I have found a note which says Net Income under Pooling of interest method usually doesnt include amortization and depreciation; thus, it provides higher Net income. Thought it’s worth sharing 
Looking at the mock 2011, 68 seemed pretty much achievable. I know you might think that it’s because I did it again but I wasnt focused and i was just moving on without focusing and giving the time needed. I realize that 50% of the exam is pure formulas/calculation which is achievable and afternoon’s mock is easier. I wonder hwo the hell i scored below 60 but again, 2010 was pretty much easier i guess especially in FRA section. As for stress, lol 1 I guess I reached a backwardation mode when stress of last weeks was higher than stress of today … is it cause ive had enough level 2 torture?
VERY light review of a few random questions maybe…Interview in the afternoon…1 Hour massage then go out for nice dinner with the wife…who I have ignored for the past year…and in bed by around 10pm…
Yeap, its like we have been climbing a large mountain and weve almost reached the plateau. next three days is gonna be the last of it, will do some more mocks from schweser, might redo 2011 the CFA mock. After that Im taking it easy on thursday and friday, gonna skim through all the formulas, ethics, and secret sauce. gotta stay light and fresh for D-day.
I’m all for relaxing the night before and going to bed early but the whole week before? You guys are brave! While it’s true that you can’t learn the curriculum now, you can however brush up on weak points and remember the formulas and the little tricks they require. You guys have been going at it for a while now, don’t give up just yet
cram cram cram. i’ve done this all through my life on all tests. why stop now?
In pooling of interests, there is no goodwill, therefore no dep/amort. Where does the excess of purchase price over fair value go then?

There is no excess purchase price over fair value (balance sheets are combined at historical cost), hence no goodwill. Pooling of interests is extremely easy, you just combine everything and you’re done. I plan on studying Friday morning then I might go play a round of golf friday afternoon and catch the Hangover that night. I studied until midnight last year the night before the exam and it definitely did not do me any good.
Gonna study till about 3:00-4:00PM with a focus on Ethics and Derivatives.
I plan to be cramming to 12- otherwise there is no way in hell that i’ll have any chance at passing the exam - pretty bleak right now
prolly gonna go over some ethics in the morning, maybe hit up some flash cards in the afternoon, but gonna go out and get hammerred in the city and hopefully find someone to let me sleep close to the test center so I dont have to worry about the commute in the morning
Thats crazy, i learn more in the last week just from constant reviewing than what i can recall from a month or two ago. Day before D-Day is review time.
I am hammering hard from 8am to 9:30 at least then read my notes that I have made for each LOC. Then wake up at 7am and go over them one more time. I also have a list of mistakes I made on each mock exam I made and I will make sure I understand all of them. (theres lots!).
