Hello.

I am looking to start studying for the CPA exams. I will be using the Ninja monthly subscription. I have been out of school for a while and do general accounting/month end close work. This is all I have experience in.

Which section should I start with? I’ve always heard your should start with FAR since it has the most material and it feeds into the AUD material. However, I read that the exams are about to update on July 1, 2021. I saw this advice from Becker.

What is Becker’s guidance to CPA Exam students to help manage these new changes?

Given the addition of newly testable content to the AUD and BEC exams, Becker recommends that candidates focus on passing these two exams as early as possible before July 1, 2021. The FAR and REG exams will both have less content after this date, so candidates should take those two exams in the second half of the year if possible.

What do you think? Should I start with FAR or another section like AUD or BEC?
