Passed three exams and BEC is left. I was so inspired but than federal busy season came and I feel empty and exhausted. Push my exam to the day after thanks giving. How to get back my motivation? I feel extremely lazy about this exam now

Take it from someone who did the same thing and slacked off for BEC and I failed my last one... truly heartbreaking... I would just push to get it done!

Same position as you! Was so motivated that I scheduled BEC (last section for me too) on 10/23 (I’m in tax..lol) ended up having a ton of work so didn’t study and moved the test back but now it’s difficult to want to study again :/ I think it’s always hardest to get started so I would recommend making a schedule (I schedule like 1 he a day and more on weekends) so it feels tangible but doable so I can get back to studying

Got one left! Just study and be done with it

I am normally an over achiever, but new to this job- so I don’t have a reputation to lean on here. I have not disclosed my conditions. Literally terrified and not sure how to pull myself out of this. Grateful for any advice or just to know others have made it through something similar.

Anyone taken REG this Q yet and can give insight on what areas were heavily tested on for you? It's my last exam and I'm on a marathon to pass it before FAR expires. First time I took it last November resulted in me getting a 74 and losing all motivation to study after being so close to finishing, so I honestly haven't touched Becker in almost a year and don't even remember which areas are the big ticket ones to focus on. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Explain this logic: if you are fresh out of school and finish exams before starting to work- no problem. BUT once you start working you aren’t allowed to request less hours or part time because then you are weak or can’t handle it. Why must we break ourselves for this exam and our work?
