March was pretty much an average month. Lot's of things going on at work. And it was a kinda stressful time. Having to take two classes wasn't helping either. Since my tax exam isn't going to happen before the begining of June I focused more on payroll. The plan was to take my payroll exam on April 2nd. At least that was the plan until today. Today I had to admit that I wasn't as prepared as I wanted to be. Most of the excercises I don't have much of a problem with. There are only a few examples that are rather hard for me. But unfortunately gettem them wrong means a big loss in points you can get on that written exam. On top of that I wasn't nearly as prepared in payroll theory as I wanted to be. And than there's the fact that the before my planned payroll exam we were preparing at work for taking inventory. And that means that it is particularly stressful and that I won't have the time I wanted to have to prepare for my exam.
So I made the decision to push my payroll back to June. And I really wasn't happy about that. But I think it's the right choice. In June I will be sufficiently prepared. I will have had enough time to go through all the excercises and learn theory as well. I probably would have passed that exam, but just barely and I really wasn't prepared to screw up my final grade. After I had pushed the date of the exam back I was actually relieved. As it takes quite some stress away from me. It just means that I will have to prepare for my payroll and corporate tax exam at the same time. But I do think that's doable.
After I had pushed back the date of the payroll exam, I also moved my advanced tax law class, that was scheduled to start on April 5th to the beginning of September. Having to take two classes and having to prepare for two exams is just too stressful. And I really want to have a little time to relax as well. But all in all I'm happy with my decision.
