I have a question that I hope you can help me with…. I purchased the Becker CD’s and installed them on my PC. I have taken and passed all but one of the exams (BEC left).. I was checking to see if my software was up to date and noticed an expiration date of November 2013.. Does this mean my software ( downloaded from my CD’s) will no longer work after November….or will it no longer be supported but I can still take practice exams and do study questions etc?

I think Seattle was venting a bit there. lol

Wow, Seattle, I commend you on your discipline. That is amazing. No wonder you've done so well on the exams, even despite the fact, as you say, that English isn't your native language! And I bet you're ready to see the end to this horrendous journey.

My study routine is actually similar to yours; the only difference is that I don't make flashcards. So, I'll give that a go. Better to be safe than sorry.

As for the difficulty of the exam, Clarissa what you say is true. That's a lot of material covered so what you study might not even be tested whereas what you didn't focus as much on might be what the exam focuses on.

I guess I won't have a really good feel of the exam until I actually take it.

Hopefully my study habits are good enough where I won't have to take it multiple times.

BEC (July 2013)
FAR (OCT 2013)
REG (NOV 2013)
AUD (JAN 2014)

The CPA Exam is an opponent that not even the Fellowship of the Ring would want to come across.

I have a long...long...journey ahead of me.

@Mike,

Hey, thanks! I was very worried about REG more than about any other section but it turned out great.

How to manage 2 chapters a week? It is tough man. Literally, no life.

@Mike,

Yeah, BEC is like nothing compared to REG. NPV & IRR, regression analysis are sweet music to my ears but I better concentrate on theory and don't hope for mainly math. Got burned like that already on FAR. Good luck to us, we can do it!
