I chose to start my CPA exam experience with FAR. I figured that slaying the beast first would provided the motivation I needed to push through the 3 remaining sections. Well, after receiving my score last night….I feel like the beast slayed me. Two months of studying wasted on a 54. After a little breakdown about how hard this whole process is, I’m ready to formulate a new plan of attack.
For the Battle of FAR round 1: I used Becker and NINJA. I watched the Becker videos (which I now feel was a complete waste of time) followed by the corresponding MCQs/SIMs. I read the the NINJA notes several times, listened to the NINJA audio, and worked NINJA MCQs regularly. I allowed for 2 weeks of final review. Clearly, that plan did not work well for me.
SO, are there any suggestions for studying for round 2? Also, should I take FAR again in the next window or tackle another section and come back to FAR?
Any advice, words of wisdom, stories of shared defeat, or successful battle plans are appreciated!
Thanks ya’ll!
