@ Marwan – I just finished A1 and I feel the same way. To compensate for this I am going to rely heavily on rereading/note taking. I am using google docs to go through and outline the chapter right after finishing the lecture so I can frame this material. Once I get to my final review then I will go through and hand rewrite those typed notes – but typing them out the first time makes the process much more efficient.

Anyone else used a process like this?

im taking notes on everything, including MCs and have started rewriting the ninja notes in anticipation of my exam on 4/20. Are you guys memorizing all the ratios?

i just made way thru all the MCs for becker and am 3/4 thru wiley test bank…then im gonna do them all over again and keep taking and writing note after note until this sticks.

hows everyone's else studying going?

BEC- 67, 69

[MintsRGood]

@Journey…I wouldn't necessarily say I'm memorizing all of the ratios but I am definitely focusing on the key ratios like current, quick, debt:equity, EPS, and turnover ratios and being familiar with the others. There are a few good sims for ratios on the testbank for practice! I'm going to dive into Wiley Module 3 tomorrow and hopefully will finish it up by Wednesday/Thursday. I'm also writing 10 pages per day of Ninja Notes with a goal of 3 time completely recopied before exam day.

Good Luck Everyone!!!!!!!

I haven't made it that far yet. I was hoping to get through A1 and A2 this week but only made it through A1. Time to kick it into gear this week and cover A2 and A3! I'm still pretty familiar with those ratios from BEC so hopefully they will come back easily.

Good luck!

[neika822]

Just finishing up A2 with Becker. Now I'm writing notes. I hate this part, since I feel like my hand might fall off… but then again, I hate every part of studying.

I need to kick it into gear. I get so flaky with studying… I'll sit down and then 5 minutes later I'll get up and HAVE to do the dishes, or do the laundry, or refold clothes in my closet. Argh. I'm hoping for enough snow tomorrow that I can “call out” of work and study the whole day.

R - *77*(02/'13)-Becker & NINJA
A - 71('11); *87*(04/'13)-Becker & NINJA
F - *76*(08/'13)-Becker & NINJA - "server upgrade" survivor
B - 60('11); *82*(10/'13) -Becker & NINA

DONE, DONE, AND DONE.

lol, i'm actually planning to take a sick day on thursday to stay home and study all day. what a life.

i'm trying to get through A3 by the end of the week. i just finished A1 last night.

[Anonymous]

Hello fellow CPAers!!

I have been following the forums for a while but I haven't posted before. I thought I might as well get in on the action. I just passed FAR in the past window and now I am on to AUD!! I have gone through A1 and hope to get to A2 and A3 by the end of this week. I really fell out of the study routine when I found out I passed FAR and thought it would be a good idea to just take a couple days off as a reward (never got back to it). Time to get serious!

[Manny24]

Does anyone know if the distinctions between U.S auditing standards and the international standards are really relevant?

I just started R1 (Becker) and they are A LOT of differences noted between the two standards.

Are you all memorizing the differences?

REG - 2/28/13 - 79
AUD - 7/15/13 - 90
BEC - 5/23/14 - 87
FAR - 8/31/14 - ????

[Manny24]

@edemay1022 .. same story here; was really excited when i passed REG (last window) that i took two weeks off and its been harder getting back in the study mode 🙂 .. Good luck!

REG - 2/28/13 - 79
AUD - 7/15/13 - 90
BEC - 5/23/14 - 87
FAR - 8/31/14 - ????

[MintsRGood]

@Manny24 You should definitely familiarize yourself with the key differences between IFRS and GAAS. I think Becker went into CYA mode by throwing absolutely everything and anything in on IFRS, but the Ninja Notes do a very good job of presenting the key differences in a concise way that is easy to memorize and that's about all I can say without violating disclosure rules! 🙂

Good Luck Everyone!!!!!!!
