So glad to say I finally passed the CPA exam after 2 1/2 years of pure determination. To everyone that is starting or continuing on this journey, know that you can do it too!!! I had many failed attempts over the years and finally got up to 3 exams passed before I lost my FAR credit in July 2016..I wanted to quit rather than take BEC (the reason I lost my FAR credit) and FAR again. I'm so glad I decided not to quit and give the exam one more try and I passed both parts: BEC in October and FAR in December. I still can't believe I passed. Never give up because the next try may be the one that gets you over the hump. HIYA!!

AUD 78 Expired
FAR 80 4th attempt
REG 76 2rd attempt
BEC 77 3rd attempt
AUD 81 and DONE

That was brutal. So good to be done. I started studying in August 2014 and took the last exam on December 5 2016. It's just starting to really soak in that I'll never have to go through this again… Don't let these exams get the best of you! Put in the study time, be persistent, and you'll get through it. The grass is much, much greener on the other side.

A big, fat, huge CONGRATULATIONS to everyone here! This has been a year-long journey for me, and I am so happy and thankful that it is over. I tested as a NM candidate (w/all education requirements fulfilled) and just found out that we are moving to CO in a few weeks. I think that I am going to have to take another auditing course and possibly an accounting ethics course to fulfill my education credits for CO licensure, but that seems so small at this point now that the exams are finished!

Waiting to hear back from cpaes-CO. Anybody else know anything else about this particular type of situation?

Again, congrats to all!!! Hello 2017, I welcome you with open arms!

hi all

[Aracelis]

Jeff,
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I am now done with the exam and well on my way to becoming a CPA!

In late 2014 I finally made the decision to take the CPA exam after a long period of pondering and fact-finding. At the time I had been out of college for about 25 years (BBA, Acctg and Finance concentrations, credit deficiencies addressed) and had no idea how to go about studying for the CPA. So I did a little research (using thiswaytocpa.com, where I found another71.com), decided on the NINJA solution, and started my journey.

I followed most of the suggestions from the NINJA Framework: I re-wrote the notes (once) and took copious notes from the books (once). I listened to the audio every day (Jeff- your voice was my constant companion on my way to work!), and did the MCQs until I got sick of them.

The results:
AUD: 75
FAR: 79
REG. 72 (I slacked off!), 84
BEC: 83

I have been singing the praises of another71.com to anyone who is willing to listen!!

Jeff, once again, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Good luck, everybody!!

Thank you Thank you Thank you Jeff!! Following the Ninja MCQ's I have been able to crack all the sections of the CPA exam!!! This is my second attempt with all the exams after failing with the Becker material. The second time around I followed the Ninja MCQ's and the Becker study material (I did not renew their subscription and just read the books broadly.

Between juggling a little baby (no daycare/help) and the CPA exams, it has been an intensive year. Thank you so much for the guidance and support from everyone here!

The Ninja MCQ's are an immense source of help and got me through the exams!! The relief on passing these exams is incredible, thanks!!

A year and a half and so many, many, many hours. I'm finally done!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Jeff for everything: the forum, the notes, MCQs, etc. Now I can get some sleep.

It's over!!!

Back in November when I found out that I failed AUD with a 67, I wanted to give up. It took me almost 2 weeks to recover from the failure and pick myself back up. I was able to do so, in major part, because of this website and the community of people that share on here. I used my AUD failure as motivation to keep working harder. I ditched my Becker lectures and bought the FAR audio, notes, and MCQs and studied for 4 weeks using only NINJA. I passed FAR at the beginning of DEC. I did the same thing when I started studying for my AUD retake…. Ditched the becker lectures, and went straight NINJA products. I was able to raise my score by almost 20 points, scoring an 85! I will be forever grateful that I found this website during my CPA journey because I really don’t think I could have done without it.

After so many hours of studying, nights after work studying until late, weekends filled with countless MCQs, I AM FINALLY DONE WITH THE CPA EXAM! TIME TO TAKE MY LIFE BACK. THANK YOU JEFF AND THE ANOTHER71 COMMUNITY!

If it was easy, everyone would do it.

A - 85 - 1/14/17,67

FINALLY passed!!!

2 years
1 wedding
1 honeymoon
1 house purchase
1 house sale
1 pregnancy
11 tests

I'm done!!!

Took BEC for the 4th time the DAY before AUD expired and nailed it! BAM!
I'm so happy (and also a crazy hormonal pregnant woman) that I burst into tears on the train when I saw the 80.
I'm so glad that I don't have to spend my upcoming maternity leave reading the baby CPA study materials so that I can retake all my stuff that was about to expire.

Congrats everyone!!!! 🙂
