Hi there,

I am new here but I have already taken FAR and AUD and failed both…

FAR I knew was coming because I didn’t study at all… I just couldn’t find it in me… After getting through a few sections I stopped and the time came and I took it and failed.. Badly..

When I took AUD I studied a bit more and got through most of the material but very superficially… I kept switching study strategies the whole time… And at the end ended up doing only questions over and over in the last few sections which I liked better but felt like cheating.. I got a 63..

I used the ninja audio for audit and I noticed it’s what helped me Remember most of what I actually used on the exam..

Now I am still at square 1.. I’ve only been working for a little over a year since i graduated with my bachelors in accounting..

Lacking motivation severely… I get home from work (full time at a very well known private company) and all I wanna do is watch something dumb or sleep or just lay there and rest..

we have a very busy season from now until February.. But I have to take AUD and BEC before March… Or they will expire (bad planning on my part)..

I am using CPAExcel, but I was always the person in class taking notes like crazy from what the professor taught, then doing problems.. I never read my textbook..

Now I find it hard to read and take notes from there… I want to just do problems but then I feel guilty like I may pay the price later… The videos in cpaexcel are pretty repetitive from the slides so it doesn’t feel like a class lecture…

I am at a loss on what to do… I do enjoy the ninja audio a lot, and plan on using it but when it comes to me review course I’m not sure what’s the most effective way to use it while not spending hours and hours on each section..

I suppose I shall say I was above average in school… Did very well.. But wasn’t always studying.. I studied a few days before a test and did and redid problems and from there tried to grasp each concept for the theory part..

But this exam isn’t something I can study for in 3 days… And I no longer even feel smart… I am just desperate to hear tips, maybe some tough love and inspirational stories!!!

Thank you for reading all that!

Edit: I must also add… I am not married (but do have a boyfriend) and don’t have any kids..

Technically this is my best time to get this out of the way but I lack the drive..

and my main question was… Is it even necessary to read the text? is it possible to pass by doign a lot of MCQs?

AUD - 11/19/15
FAR - TBD
REG - TBD
BEC - TBD
