Thanks guys! Good Luck Alexa and Jr. on your exam. FAR is so much material and I am struggling too still to focus on weak areas and still remember everything else.

can I ask which courses you've used and which you found helpful for you? I have CPA Excel and Becker now and I have my own feelings but was curious about yours. FYI- I got a 74 on FAR last year and am taking REG next week. :/

Ive been studying since January and I still dont feel ready but I cant postpone it. Ill do my best and try to stay positive. It is a lot of material to learn and details to remember. I just wish sometimes that studying was my full time job like my college days. Lol

I'm sorry sweetie :( I feel you. I take FAR this week. Keep it up and just know that these hard times will fade and be worth it in the end. I am sorry!

I've continued to the next topic with some success...I personally didn't lose very much when I returned to FAR ~2 months later (both times...)

I just got my score for BEC - 70....and I have AUD next week. :-( I've sat for BEC 3 times in the last 10 months, and 2 times were within 3 months of each other. I was upset yesterday, but I'm going full speed ahead with my review of AUD and hopefully I will pass it. BEC is the worst for me - all the topics I don't like, such as Economics. Great advice you all have given - I will definitely use it going forward. Still 3 away from my license, but I know I can do it!

Re: How to Pass a Section of the CPA Exam in 20 Days

I actually tried your 20-day method on all four exams consecutively on my first try. The first three are in the pocket, while the fourth, REG, NASBA will release the result tomorrow, if your prediction is correct. What nags me a little though is that I missed the 80-day goal with 6 days, as I pushed out REG for a week.
Anyway, if you really are up for the challenge, I can confirm that it is a feasible method, even if English is not your first language, but your third. What I can say is that I think it's worth it, I can't imagine going through the material for 6- 12- 18-months or more.
Now it's straight on to the CFA, but in a slower tempo, as there are no exams during July and August. However, from what I have seen the first part is very similar to BEC, while the second is close to FAR, with exception of all the extras that goes into FAR and REG, type IT, SOX and Governmental accounting, the parts I disliked the most. The CFA exam might go a little more in depth of the material, but the structure is all the same.
I realize that the CFA is not necessary since you can get the CGMA (Euro-version of CMA) "for free and w/o exam" through a merits only program by AICPA, but I kind of enjoyed the study part, so why not?
Good Luck and God Speed too all of us.
P.S. Did I mention that I feel kind of excited to find out my final result tomorrow? Well, I am.

Is this adequate alone? I already have Becker...but it honestly bores me to death.

Thanks, I just purchased it. One more quick question... when you said below that the Assessment Phase is the first 35%, is that the first 35% of any given session? Or the first 35% of all of the questions?

It works on Chrome just fine.

Some of the questions will be similar, but the explanations and text sections will be completely different. Also - it uses an Adaptive Learning algorithm which learns what your weak areas are.

Also, you mention Mac and PC, will this work on a Chromebook?

Hey Jeff, I've already answered all of the WTB AUD questions. Was thinking about using this to switch things up in my last week of studying but I am wondering if the MCQs in this software are significantly different from those questions?

Thank you for this and congratulations. I am just starting out new. I am currently in graduate school and now that I have a break...I am thinking about starting my journey. You basically gave me an idea of how things might be. I see you mentioned below that you studied 34-40 hours per week...is this possible for me? I work full time and go to school. Thank you!

Good luck! I'm sending good vibes your way! I take audit tomorrow and I think I'm ready but I have to spend the rest of the day doing my final review. I've been close many times but this time feels different.

Re: Recipe for Disaster: Busy Season, New Job, and FAR

Melantha Kamaria — Thu, 15 May 2014 15:02:35 -0000

Hmmmm this is a tough one. Since you were so close on FAR I would just retake it while the iron is hot. Good luck! I take audit tomorrow. :-)
