    I am thinking of going with another user’s advice and get UWorld Roger CPA Review, and just am wondering,

    1. has anyone had success with it?

    2. is it better to watch his lectures and do the homework problems like how he lays it out or watch all the lectures and then do MCQ?

    3. is 8 weeks enough for a FAR retake? (its more around only 6 weeks since I doubt I would get much done on a 2 week field audit)?

    1. Yes

    2. The homework problems are like additional MCQs, so I'd do them (If you feel yourself running out of time, focus on the MCQs included in Wiley)

    3. Yes, just be sure to put the time in.

    BRO YOU CAN DO IT!!! I too will be purchasing Rogers review course. But you have 2 exams left and 5 months to take them before starting all over again. Put the time in, study as much as you can, leave any and all things that don't pertain to helping you pass alone. Don't stress and pass the tests. At the end of the year, celebrate your butt off for New Years that you completed the exams and are on your way to getting your license! PS: don't laugh at my scores lol.

    FAR- ? (3/1/18)

    BEC- ? (6/1/18)

    AUD- ? (9/5/18)

    REG- ? (12/5/18)

    One day I will face that exam.

    I haven't done much Ninja MCQ for FAR, but here is my Ninja MCQ average scores and average trending scores for AUD. Just found out I got a 56 in AUD today, and that is throwing a wrench in my plans. I'm leaning on restudying for AUD.

    1 Auditing and Attestation: Engagement Acceptance… 73% 69.00

    2 Auditing and Attestation: Understanding the Ent… 66% 66.00

    3 Auditing and Attestation: Performing Audit Proc… 60% 85.00

    4 Auditing and Attestation: Evaluating Audit Find… 60% 69.00

    5 Accounting and Review Services Engagements 66% 68.00

    6 Professional Responsibilities 71% 80.00

    I love Roger and I passed FAR.

    Since it is a retake: if you haven't gone through every question in WTB, I suggest doing that. I took FAR before Ninja MCQs was up and running, but thankfully it was enough for me to pass.

    If you don't have WTB and that's too expensive; try doing all Ninja FAR questions, then let the system do the adaptive learning.

    Another thing that has helped me, is every time I get a question wrong, I write down the answer. As well as Ninja notes. And listen to Ninja audio all the time.

    Good Luck!

    R - 33, 58, 73, 69, 81!
    F - 47, 78! 🙂
    After 3 long years, I'm finally DONE!
    I could not have done it without NINJA MCQs.

    Used: Roger for his Videos, WTB, and NINJA Audio, Notes and Test Bank.

    Well, you only did 60% of the AUD questions. If you had done close to all of them and were still scoring like that, I would say a new course is warranted to give you a fresh take.

    I think you need to buckle down and hit the review stage (i.e. you answer every question correctly at least once) before throwing more $$ at a course.

    I passed FAR studying with Roger and doing my last 2-week review with NINJA MCQ.

    Roger worked REALLY well for me as he is engaging and is able to make the hard concepts stick. He helps you understand where goes what instead of memorizing every bit of information.

    I have not gone through AUD yet, but I have heard that AUD is Roger's strongest part.

    Don't give up NINJA! I really think it's an excellent resource! I used the NINJA MCQs for my review and truly solidified what I studied.

    Keep at it! Decide on a particular review and go with it! It's a tedious process, but you will succeed!!!

    Roger worked for me! The key is to repeat the multiple choice problems like crazy.

    Roger worked for me. Did becker twice (self study and in class) and yaeger. The best thing about roger is his lectures. I played his online lectures over and over on my commutes but that was because i had unlimited data. He doesn't go through mcq like cindy at yaeger but he taught in a way that i could understand. Also the dude is funny

    REG-65,71,74,73,70,74,79
    BEC-60's,60's,69,71,76*,78
    FAR-67,66,65,79
    AUD-54,60's,65,83*,69,80
    *expired

    DONE
