Hi guys!
I am new here and I am finally ready to start my CPA journey. I got Wiley course and wondering what else would be useful to buy to pass FAR. I will read a Wiley book, watch all videos, and take MCQs after each topic.
I would greatly appreciate any recommendations and advises.

Thank you!

Good for you for getting FAR out of the way first! It's definitely a beast (took me 3 attempts to pass) but I was SO glad I did it first!

Something interesting I learned: all of the review courses contain pretty much the same material. It's the way that the material is presented to you that is different. When I first started the journey, I tried using Becker, but I quickly learned it was a mistake. I bought Roger and felt like I learned so much more from both his videos and his textbooks. I feel like his textbooks especially made it easier for me to understand topics. Whenever I needed more MCQ/SIM practice, I bought the Wiley test banks, and those were super helpful.

My advise overall is to see which review course works best for you. If you find yourself learning well with Wiley, stick with it! If you need a supplement, NINJA has a pretty sweet subscription deal and it's quite fair price-wise. Best of luck to you on this journey! It won't be easy, but it WILL be worth it, in the end 🙂

Thank you very much, guys!
I am reading more information about job opportunities when you are CPA. If I see on job description – CPA preferred, does it mean to have CPA certificate or to be CPA licensed? Please clarify.

Thank you very much for all your help!

FAR is like the all you can eat kind of exam.
Instead of stuffing it in your mouth you gotta stuff it in your brain.
