I have read the book, and am now venturing through the Ninja MCQ’s. It’s now Monday, and I am freaking out because FAR is in 20 days! I have been going through the questions and taking down fact nuggets. My study schedule is currently ranging 20-25 hours a week, and I am learning a great amount of material. I also listen to Jeff’s Ninja Audio to and from work (What an ASSET!).

My question: “What would your attack plan be, and would you move the test back 1 more week?”

Note: Family and full-time job at a CPA Firm. I may not be allowed to move the test back 1 more week due to tax season. 🙁

CPA EXAM: DONE!!!!
Ethics Course: Passed
Application Mailed: 3/16/15
Professional Conduct Exam: 97
Certification Date: 4/2/15!!!

Sounds like you have a solid plan. I fully understand the time crunch, that's why my study times were so short, because that was literally all the time I had to study for each of those exams. I too work full time and have a family, so I had to figure out the most efficient way to learn the material for me. My 9 days of studying consisted of 2 weekends and 5 work days. I would study for 2-3 hours after work, then study 12-15 hours on weekends. My projects around the house had to wait, and it took some help from the family, but that was the only way I was going to get these exams over with.

I just took AUD on the 19th of this month, and I only had the weekend before the exam to study for it, because I'm already putting in 12 hour days at work. We'll find out next week if 2 days is enough to pass that exam 🙂

REG - 90 (08/2014) - Study Time = 6 days
FAR - 89 (10/2014) - Study Time = 9 days
BEC - 83 (11/2014) - Study Time = 4 days
AUD - 89 (01/2015) - Study Time = 2 days

Final score released - 2/4/15
Application mailed - 2/5/15
Licensed CPA - 2/12/15
