On my exam, all 90 MCs were pretty easy; however, it covered A LOT OF of materials, including significant amount of questions related to IFRS. 2 weeks before the exam I practiced all AICPA released questions from 2006-2013. “90%” of the MCs were very similar to those released questions. NONE of the MCs questions were tricky!!!! Also, I didn’t think my testlets got significant harder. Overall, testlets 2&3 had MORE “BASIC” calculation questions.

THEN, sims condemned me from heaven to HELL. I was confident about ONLY 2 out of 7 sims problems. The last hour of my exam I thought I was dreaming and literally saw stars at the comer of my eyes. I had 1 hour and 20 mins to work on my sims, and it was NOT ENOUGH. I spent a lot of time to read through the questions and sometimes questions I didn’t know how to start. I left one sim problem empty cuz I ran out of time….. I felt dizzy when I walked out the testing center.

However, I passed with my 1st attempt!!!! THANKS GOD!!!! (((cry)))) My suggestion for the FAR section is to go through ALL AICPA released questions as many times as you can for preparing MCs. I thought I had enough time for Sims, so I actually double checked all 3 MC testlets. That was my mistake!!!! I would suggest to finish MCs as fast as you can then leave at least an hour and half to two hours for sims. I am using Becker, and it does NOT prepare me enough for simulation questions. Knowing journal entries is critical! Good luck to everyone!

FAR... Passed
Audit... Passed on the second try

@vickyfan can you elaborate on you study method a bit please?

FAR:TBD
REG:TBD
AUD:TBD
BEC:TBD

I am using Becker self study, ninja blitz and Wiley (I am using the paperback version of the testbank)

Brief overview of study method:
1. Skim through chapter quickly
2. Watch lecture videos
3. Take a lot of notes on what the lecturers emphasize
4. Complete half HW after lectures half after rewriting notes

Thanks for the tips! Definitely doing the AICPA released questions now that everyone seems to be swearing by them!

BEC: 73, 81
AUD: 85
FAR: 71, 77
REG: 74, 75...finally DONE! 😀

*This is my 2nd attempt at the CPA exam. For all of you who have failed this exam many times, given up on it, or taken a break like me, remember that it is still possible to finish what you started...failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently 🙂

I didn't feel IFRS was too too heavy when I took it last month, however I got tested on absolutely every topic so I think it's all fair game. I can tell you that I barely studied the IFRS differences and got a 71…so don't think it affected me too much. This time around I am going to make sure I have at least a solid grasp on the main differences.

FAR - 87 2/18/14
AUD - 84 4/2/14
REG - 87 7/23/14
BEC - 78 8/26/14

I'm finally an *official* CPA - TX
