With all due respect, I think there are more than enough experiences (posted on this forum) to peruse through to get a good idea of what to expect on the exam.

Maybe it's reassurance you need. I read your previous post and agree with Malaysian's reply. I believe you're sitting pretty well right where you are with regard to the time you have left.

If you haven't done so already, then break out the remaining pages of what you have left to read over the days you have remaining before your exam. That way it will not feel like such a monumental task. For example, if you have 250 pages left for FA and would like to finish it in 25 days, then that comes out to only 10 pages/day. And as it has been said before go through it with a fine-toothed comb.

Also, make sure you take enough time each day to just relax, calm yourself and clear your mind. As the saying goes, "A clear conscience is a good pillow." And if you're spiritual, then pray and meditate. If not, then start. grin

Now I'm sure you'll still be looking for more exam experiences anyway, so I'd like to repeat the advice I've heard and that is this: do not read any experiences a week before your exam. Someone might post a negative experience and/or bring up something that may rattle you and put you in a frenzy.

So take this as a note of reassurance. You have more than enough time to learn and review what is NECESSARY. Plan each day (either the night before or the morning of). Do NOT start each day without a very specific plan of what you intend to read and when you will read it. Be consistent with your reviewing from here on out and you'll be more than fine come exam day.

We're all praying for ya, so...

GET OFF THE COMPUTER AND GET THE JOB DONE!
