2 days of studying and a passing score - Page 4

I agree w/ mla. If he was that that that that thatttttttttt smart, he would have passed both far and reg in first attempt w/ also 2 days of studying. The fact that he didn't prove the point. I think he got lucky to get the questions that he knew. But at the same time, I do think he's smart enough to know enough to be able to do those questions that he got.

cannot make youtube link to a specific time. Too bad, it was a good joke if I say so myself 🙂

@candothis: I don't think that's what he was trying to do.

@chris

I could care less how much time you (or anyone else for that matter) spend studying in order to pass. I'm just curious what the purpose of this thread is? Is it the subconscious ego boost? Or is it to show people that you don't need to spend a lot of time stressing about the hours you spend studying?

I don't get why people are hating on you because you passed with minimal study.

People celebrate passing with posts all the time. You deserve to brag a little. If you are like me, most of your friends probably don't give a shit if you passed… so its nice to get some recognition from people who can empathize.

I haven't taken AUD, but I passed reg with about 100+hrs of studying and am taking BEC in 2 days with prob about 80 hours.. so i am just another average CPA candidate…. But, you best believe I want to pass with no studying!

Congrats dude!

Well when a thread gets like 40 responses in a short period of time I get suckered in, but I still don't care about the time spent because everyone is different. Its great that you passed, and please don't take my response as being high and mighty about myself, I was just curious if there was some insight you had to offer or if it was simply to antagonize. Even if you didn't intend to rile up some people, you have to know that you will in a forum like this.

You did offer some insight into people over thinking and/or getting stressed about the exams, which I would agree with you on. However you didn't make that comment until 5 or 6 posts into the thread, so it appeared you created the thread just to gloat, and I was curious. I just wasn't sure if this is the place for it without expecting backlash from at least a few individuals. If you feel like I'm out of line on that, I won't respond anymore, no worries.

well, congratulations to you Chris.

Guess it is a mixed feeling for me too. Like Eel, said it does cheapen the effort of people who work hard. Perhaps that isn't your intention, and you have bragging rights, but please do consider what other people are going through. Every aspect of the original post is double-edged. What is encouraging to some, might be discouraging to the rest. “Why if he can do it in 2 days, 2 weeks should be good! or why is it taking me more than 2 years, I should just give up. etc .”

I am glad for one thing though. You said you took a practice test in Wiley and reviewed all the answers? Not very many people do that, and you are right, it seems like people pound multiple mcqs. That is something often overlooked. I took aud today, and had I more time to study, I would have taken your advice. But haha, I didn't even finish covering the material. Sure it is a retake for me.

Also, if I can't manage audit still, I will be sure to find a job in it before my scores expire, hopefully that will save me. haha.

So congratulations, you smart bastard(very congratulatory and spiteful) hahahah

Reading this thread has given me some perspective. I can't begin to explain.

Thanks goodluck! I hate when people mix up the could/couldn't care less lol. Always drives me nuts!
