NINJA Question –

We lost this thread in the forum conversion, so I’m piecing it back together via this Google Doc – which is cool because of the stat analyis.

Doc Link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qxfKqNvZWrKtQ-VfVsy49otykmubeSHOeX4lJlGxVtc/edit?usp=sharing

Going forward, people can post their score info here and we will update it with each score release (once we have this doc updated from the past…there were over 1,000 posts).

Beginning with Tonight’s Score Release… (everything else has been archived)

Please post your…

I followed the game plan I've used for my other sections. I started with CPAExcel watching each lecture, reading, and answering section MCQs. I followed this with the Ninja test bank a few weeks before my test with a focus on weaker sections before the exam.

I used Ninja 10 point combo – I found the PLUS videos to be super helpful, used audio on drive to/from work everyday, and did about half of the sims in the MCQ. Not sure why I hadn't used it for other sections, but I found the MCQ audio to be quite helpful towards my review stage. Plus videos, including one about simulation strategy were probably biggest help in grasping the concepts.

For my FAR retake, REG and AUD, I did all of the Gleim test bank questions and sims. Only sims I didn't touch is the Blaw sims on Gleim. I Went through CPAExcel video > past CPA MCQ at the end of each video > Gleim MCQ + sims > Ninja MCQ + Gleim sims. I try to only use new and unseen MCQ on both Gleim and Ninja MCQ.

I think my trending was in the low 60s this time. I didn't have time to drill near as many MCQs as I wanted (or needed) to but thankfully it's a moot point. I did have a lot of sets in the 80s and 100s there at the end but it wasn't enough to overcome the 50s I started with LOL.

ETA went and looked –
