Ancel, I do the practice exams mainly because they present new questions that aren't in the homework MCQs. Since, most people say the practice exams are “harder” than the actual CPA exam, and I totally agree, I don't let the score bother me. I use it as a learning tool to see where my weaknesses are so I can go over that material again. But I plan on doing my practice tests next week after I finish re-reading the entire book and do all the HWs.

Ok guys, I'm taking the exam on Saturday, July 5th

I just did the full Gleim practice test and scored a 79%- think this will cut it? I keep hearing Gleim has the hardest questions and people tend to score higher on the actual exams.

Of course I'm going to study all week and work on my weak areas.

AUD- 93
BEC- 81
FAR- 1/26/2015
REG- TBD

CIA Exams Passed in March, 2014

Had anyone found the answer to my question? Repost:

Can someone help me out with this? Is this Ninja sim incorrect? By definition, average equity is beginning equity plus ending equity divided by 2. I did that and Ninja marked me incorrect because they they took net income divided by ending equity for year 2, but in their explanation they include the definition below and then did the calc a complete different way. What am I missing?

“Return on equity = Net income less preferred dividends ÷ Average common stockholders' equity

No preferred dividends were paid.

Net income for Year 1 = $24,400,000

Stockholders' equity for Year 1 = $86,500,000

$24,400,000 ÷ $86,500,000 = 28.21% for Year 1

Net income for Year 2 = $13,815,000

Stockholders' equity for Year 2 = $100,315,000

$13,815,000 ÷ $100,315,000 = 13.77% for Year 2″

It's SIM #55 by the way.

FAR - 93
REG - 87
BEC - 84!!!!
AUD - 99!!!!!! CPA exam complete.

HI everyone! I took a 6 month break from the exam due to starting a new job at a tax accounting firm. Now I am back to this and ready to get going!! I decided for my return back I am going to start with Audit. Here is my question….how long are you guys giving yourself to study for audit? I should be getting my book in the mail tomorrow and plan to begin studying. Should I attempt to take it at the end of August or hold off until October testing date. I thought about going with FAR first and then audit but I decided that this might be a better approach. Thanks for any feedback and look forward to studying with you guys!

Restarting my journey!
Using Rogers and supplementing with Ninja

Thanks @Gian. How is the studying going for everyone? Reviewing the chapters on Reporting and SSARs this week and then I got the chapters on Sampling and IT left to review next week. Trending score is now 88% in Ninja, 92% in Wiley. Moving my MCQ's up to 150 a day now. Oh by the way, totally agree with assessment on 7-8 weeks. That's enough for Audit.

@Gian Are the SIMS on the real exam Like Ninja, or much harder? I think the Ninja SIMS, Wiley SIMS in some cases are comparable to each other. it's a just matter of what kind of SIM I get and what I'm comfortable with. Just asking as this is my first time sitting for AUD.

@NYCaccountant to my opinion I think it's important to be just familiar with SIMs questions and understand how to do Research on codifications. Other than that SIMs questions are all over the place.
