    I figured I’d start a thread this time. @April94 got us going this last time. I am waiting for my AUD score to come out. I have taken that stupid exam 6 times and I am so over it. The SIMS have been tripping me up in the last 3 exams and I wanna be done. Thank God, this last time I didn’t get any questions on my weak areas so hopefully, that will result in a pass. That’s likely why I passed FAR because I didn’t get any questions that I was weak in.

    Good luck everyone!!

    I am glad to see that I am not only one struggling with REG. I took it cold turkey, no studying and got a 72 then I studied, using Wiley and got a 73. I can not figure out what I am doing wrong or how to go about getting over this hurdle. I have been working for a CPA for 25 years and just finished my Masters. Any suggestions?

    I am writing herein because I have read many posts on the forum that sort of inspired me to keep going (and ultimatly helped me to cross the finish line) when things looked daunting and now I would like to share my success story so that it may help a person or two that could be going thru similar ordeal.

    Some back story:

    I was an Economics major and thus I had limited exposure to accounting and to make things worse I did not take financial accounting (usually acc-101) in college as I had taken many CLEP exams and earned credits for those exams from my regional college in order to graduate early (in 3 years) + to save money that my parents did not have and luck would have it one of the exams that I had earned a credit was Financial Accounting (self taught in about 8 weeks to pass the exam). I had no idea I would pursue to become a CPA and hindsight taking those classes could have at least made things easier.

    I have gotten an MBA afterwards and I have total of 15 credit hours in accounting which suffices for my jurisdiction (Alaska) and thus I am THE bare minimum (possibly positioned myself to failure from the very beginning) qualified guy to take these exams. Oh, I also have 3 kids (all under the age of 5).

    I started with debit and credits (and this is not a hyperbole). There were so many helpful videos out there on youtube and I watched many videos (mostly 2x the speed) to get me thru all of the exams.

    How did I study?

    (I) Financial Accounting and Reporting:
    I had read over the Gleim review book (btw their videos are completely useless) and I did 600 MCQ over the last month and read over the core concepts (Gleim) along with and Ninja notes 2-3 times. The notes are easier to go thru and helps me to stay engaged. Lots of videos on youtube that helped.
    Video channel titles: 1. Accounting made easy 2. Accounting instruction, help, how to 3. Farhat accounting

    (II) REG
    Read thru the book and watched lots of videos on youtube (mostly Farhat Accounting and for this guy you have to watch it 2x the speed otherwise you will not get thru the videos but his explanations are dead on point so it was easy to grasp). I did not do many MCQs but just watched those videos (had the study outline out so that I made sure I watched videos on all of the covered topics).

    (III) AUD
    This one was just straight memorization. I read thru the book twice (taking notes each time) and did c.300 MCQs. I did not watch any videos for this section.

    (IV) BEC
    Read thru the book once and did 800 MCQ.

    So let me end it here ( a lot more I could write here) before the post becomes too long to read for people like me but I hope some of the tips are helpful to some and my story helps others to keep going and get it done.

    Finally done; Used just ninja for FAR after failing with surgent; for multiple choice I only did random up until the week of, and used the 4 week study plan. Best helpers for me was Mike's tutoring videos, and the multiple choice questions.
