When are you taking your exam?
I'm taking BEC (my very first CPA exam) on July 21, 2018.

What exam topic keeps you awake at night?
I've been having recurring nightmares about the formulas and MCQs related to working capital management.

One study or career tip others might find helpful.
Before going to sleep, know your study plan and goals for the next day. I found this helps me to waste less time and begin studying sooner.

Hello

I am taking my exam on July 11 and pretty much all the FORMULAS are keeping me up at night. Definitely try to take these exams before even landing a job so you have more time to focus on studying. If you already have a career I would suggest giving yourself more time to study for an exam. Besides that maintain a positive attitude and consistency is key! It will be difficult, time consuming, and overall draining of everything but keep your eye on the goal.

Goodluck to all

Hello I’m Dahlia. Ready to tackle this exam AGAIN with more focus and discipline. I started my journey in 2015. Took AUD 3 times….best score was a 72. I gave up. Moved into another career (I’m almost 49). I’m a flight attendant now and I LOVE it. However I STILL want those three letters….you know what they are. I’m back with a vengeance. I have ALOT of down time with flying to study! I am taking a slightly different approach this time and taking BEC first. And I’m giving Ninja a try with the monthly program. I’m ready…

When are you taking your exam?

Haven’t scheduled yet

I’ve never studied for BEC so not sure but this entire exam rattles my tummy. Lol

I was TRYING Mto study during a chaotic time of my life: lay off from my job of 16 years, new job was paying me less than 1/2 my prior salary and I HATED it. I needed the REALLY get my life in order FIRST and then study. I was stressed and depressed and studying didn’t help at that time. I took the break I needed to reset. I’m in a MUCH better space now and ready to start over.

My tip: Its OK to start over!

Hi Jeff,

So great for you to do this! As I'm getting back into the swing of studying for BEC, I've scheduled my exam for Monday, August 20th at noon. There's definitely some material that can put me to sleep, but I find Corporate Governance keeps me more awake when studying.

In retrospect, I would definitely tell my beginner-studying-self and others beginning their career and also studying for their exams is to work on consistent communication with your teams, seniors, managers, etc about your study plans in order to work around it – even if this means setting a calendar reminder with your senior letting them know every Wednesday you will be leaving at 5:30pm to get home in time to study. Sometimes they forget unintentionally, so a reminder helps! This communication is also give and take – although you may need to leave early, that may mean coming in earlier or getting an early start on your work-papers a day prior, etc.

Thanks,

Adrianna Boles

I am just about a week and a half out from taking BEC. I am right out of school and have had all of June (full-time) to study for BEC. I feel like I'm at a point where I don't know what else to study. I have run out of motivation and drive to continue reviewing. I feel like I'm just repeating the same questions over and over again. Any advice for this next week? I started lectures for AUD yesterday to change it up a little but I should be focusing on BEC.

[itooshallpass]

@maren I hit that wall with FAR. I'd suggest taking a day or two break to let your mind refresh and get out of a rut. Then do some MCQs every day and try to find a new review method that you haven't used so far, like making flashcards or something like that. Can you get access to a new test bank? That really helped me. CPA Review For Free isn't bad for light practice.

Hello, my name is Laura.

1) I plan on taking BEC late July.

2) There isn't anything that keeps me up at night since I knock out from tiredness. 😂

3) As a study tip, I would advise when you get a couple questions on the same topic wrong, to crack open the text and reread the topic.

[hopefulcpa2016]

@ahmat9270 Good Luck!!!

[patsfan94]

Everyone who I've talked to in my program who has taken the exam in my program has told me that there are a lot of Information Technology (IT) based questions that Becker really didn't prepare them for very well. Does anyone know where the best place(s) might be to supplement my studying in that area?

[Nikki374]

@patsfan94, yep, NINJA monthly access. It's very reasonably priced.

For Jeffs competition,

When are you taking your exam? September .. I hope!
