Hello,

I told myself that if somehow I managed to pass all four tests first time I would post on here and offer whatever advice I can to those struggling with a specific test. I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on the material needed to pass so if anyone has any questions feel free to ask! I don’t start work for another 2 weeks so I am all ears!

AUD:85
BEC:93
FAR:88
REG:87

Congrats! When studying for AUDIT what topics were tested the most? When doing getting ready for your final review about how many MCQ's did you do a day? Were the TBS doable? & last what Review did you use?

How long did you study for each section? Which did you find most difficult?

Congrats Nick!!!!!!!!!!
Could you give advice for studying BEC and REG?

[itooshallpass]

Awesome work! I'd love your tips for success in Audit as well. What was your approx ratio of study-to-MCQ practice? How much sims practice did you do? What are the heaviest topics? Thanks.

@itooshallpass Hey I'm currently scheduled to take Audit 1/27, what review are you using? I'm currently using Roger & Ninja. Good luck!

[itooshallpass]

@ineedthiscpa45 I'm using Roger too! I am thinking about buying Ninja too cause I liked it for FAR but can't spend the money right now unfortunately. What's your opinion of Ninja for audit?

[ineedthiscpa45]

@itooshallpass honestly I haven't did much of Ninja Mcq'd because my strategy is as follows: do my initial coarse review with Roger and spend the last two weeks doing about 200-400 Mcq daily on Ninja, that way i can scale what i really know as oppose to doing both simultaneously and facing the threat of being too familiar with the questions and creating false confidence, that happened with me with BEC.

[ineedthiscpa45]

@itooshallpassthiscpa45 from previous experience using Ninja for BEC i can say it's pretty good since there question's are worded different which keeps you sharp!

[itooshallpass]

@ineedthiscpa45 Thank you, that's good to know! I am using a similar strategy; I'm on chapter 8-9 in roger right now. Next two weeks will be MCQ and review.

@itooshallpass-I actually thought Ninja SIMS for AUD were great-I did a ton of them the night before my test and it was extremely helpful!

[chitown87]

What was your REG experience like? REG is my first section and I sit for it on Friday. Any tips you can offer for REG without revealing too much?

Congrats Nick.

what's your strategy on studying FAR? How many hours you spend on FAR? What study material that you used?

Thank you!!!

@itooshallpass Ninja is great for audit, imo. I used Ninja exclusively last year and managed to go 3/4. I didn't get quite enough understanding with BEC, but that was my own fault as I didn't take the time to understand the questions I got wrong. I think I was burned out, but I'm correcting that error this time around. Good luck!

AUD - 56 - 68 - 61 - 9/8/16
REG - 75
FAR - 7/15/16
BEC - TBD
