    I’ve had a few requests for April/May Study Groups…March will be here before you know it.

    In order to take an early April exam, you should begin studying…now. 🙂

    Bad night oilgas? I suggest you dry off, refill your drink, add alcohol this time and then tackle F3 again.

    MBA,CMA,CPA, CFF?, ABV?

    Pretty bad night…just bought Ninja audio – maybe hearing it verbally (not from the usual guys) will do the trick tomorrow morning? Part of me wants to sleep, part of me wants to stay up for 3 hours listening to audio…maybe I'll isolate what corresponds with my current trouble spots tonight, then move on tomorrow.

    @stoleway and @CPAMommyof3 in the middle of inventory as we speak…I am hoping to be done with it by tomorrow after my first early session. Taking these notes are such a killer, take so much time but it's the only way the material sticks in my head.

    Still have to get my 10 pt combo but caught the flash cards sale and they are a huge help

    FAR: April or May 2014
    AUD:
    REG:
    BEC:
    Scared: 100

    FAR first and only attempt: 2014 Wiley textbook, 10 Pt Combo, and WTB

    I only get one try to have to give it my all and try to get 75 on my first go around.

    @NJPRU–Congrats on the AUD pass! I have found that the more active I am in the study group, the more motivated I am to get it done. I haven't used Gleim so I don't really know how you should lay out your studying. I split up the Wiley text into approximately 75 pages of material a week for the next 5 weeks and left myself two weeks for a cumulative review. Wiley has close to a thousand MCQ and SIMS in the book that I will do as I go through each chapter. I incorporate the notes I take from reading and from MCQs into the Ninja Notes and I listen to the Ninja Audio whenever I am in the car by myself. I hope that helps.

    @CPAMommyof3

    Thank you, I will surely bug you with questions in case I get stranded. Im trying to go through all the inventory measurements and master the retail cost ratios. Im using Gleim which has 20 chapters and I usually spend about 4 days to complete each section. I hope I can finish all the chapters by the end of March, the entire month of April will be used for solving mcqs and also sit for the exam last day of April.

    REG -63│ 84!!
    BEC- 59│70│ 71 │78!
    AUD- 75!
    FAR- 87!

    @CPAMommy – Thank you so much for writing back. I really appreciate it. What I find funny with this exam in particular and after coming from AUD, I feel like I have to completely change the way I studied before. The material is more so work related rather than conceptual which means more time and more work involved, therefore, I have to figure out a way to time this perfectly to finish studying by May. AUD was very easy for me to understand a grasp, I'm afraid FAR is going to be a little more difficult. I just finished chapter one with FAR – Gleim has 20 chapters – and I scored an 83, but only after rewriting my notes 3 times and doing the MCQs over and over again. It didn't seem too difficult, but I think it was because the chapter was more conceptual. Chapter 2 starts the fun stuff! ahh. How is the NINJA audios broken out? Have they worked for you?

    AUD: DONE
    FAR: DONE
    BEC: DONE
    REG: DONE

    IM GOING TO BE A CPA!!!!!
