This is a great tip. I found software this morning that will do this on a Mac (hooray!) Find it here: http://www.ronimusic.com/dv... It cost me $50, but I think it will absolutely be worth it, as I try to maximize the use of what little time I have.

I just watched a 57-minute FAR video section, turned the speed up to 1.32x (it was Cindy), and saved myself approx. 13 minutes. It also helps me keep my brain engaged -- too slow, and my mind tends to wander...

I used the Gleim program and it has been extremely helpful to me. I did better on the CPA exam than I did in college, mostly because I pay more attention now! However, while studying the material for some of the parts, I did not remember covering it in my college years, so I was relearning everything all over. I have taken 3 parts and passed them all the first time. FAR (87), BEC (77), REG (92) and I am currently waiting to hear for my scores in AUD on the second wave. For BEC, REG, & AUD I used striclty Gleim materials, but for FAR I complemented my Gleim materials with my Intermediate and Advanced accounting books from college. The most helpful tool was the Gleim Test Prep software.
