I know not conventional or recommended, but I have always been a crammer. Thinking about taking a week off, grinding out 100 hrs of studying then taking the test on the 8th day.... anyone have success doing this?

I know a few people that did this. You know yourself best and if it works for you try it out

I did something similar. It worked for bec and reg. Didn’t work for far or aud(I work in tax). Do it if you think it will work. Just lay off the caffeine the first couple of days as it will catch up to you. Also, focus on learning the material, and not finishing everything. I ended up not finishing two of the bec sections but was fortunate to pass

Hi there. I previously had a beautiful baby girl through IVF and emergency c-section. Now I'm in the process of completing my pre-requisites before another FET. I had my hydrosonogram, trial embryo transfer, and an overall check of my uterus. Due to my muscle thickness, they're recommending with my next pregnancy to have another c-section. I tried Googling but can't find any info. Anyone been through this before and know what they're referring to? I just like to be as informed as I can.

Whenever i have a big deadline, my body goes into a panic mode where my energy immediately goes to figuring out how I’ll get something done well and on time. Outwardly, I don’t seem stressed so no one notices but actually I usually feel like I have a cold: fatigue, headache, sore throat, sinus infection. When a task is done, i stop feeling like crap. It’s been like this since law school. Any tips on managing stress or moving towards doing good work without my body shutting down lol?
