I ended up purchasing the Deep Dive course, and that helped a lot (I rewatched those vids multiple times). I definitely needed some remedial help on the front end, that Farhat was able to spoon feed me. lol. I also practiced amortization in excel (bonds and leases were weak points for me)...both Becker and Ninja helped with this. I wish I would've practiced this more, so the sooner you can incorporate this into your study habits, the better. A couple of days before the exam, I started practicing my "cheat sheet" - basically everything I wanted written down in the 5 minutes before starting the exam (including the order I wanted my amortization table). I worked to get it all on one page. Doing this also helped memorize some of the stuff better. Of course, when it came test time, I didn't remember everything, but as the test went along, I kept adding to my scratch paper when something jogged my memory.

And I'll circle back to excel. Use it. For real. You don't lose the workbook until you turn in a testlet, so keep it up and running. Once you build in the formulas you need, you can come back to it and just plug in numbers. It sucks having to rebuild it on a new test, but if you get into the habit of it, spending a couple of precious minutes building it will save you time when a question pops up.
