Hey guys,

So I took my First Reg CPA exam ever about a month ago and failed with a 61. I was very unsure going in and very overwhelmed with the material. Overall, I realized that i memorized alot of stuff and did not understand the underlying meaning of alot of concepts which hurt me on the exam. For my Reg exam I prepped with using the becker self study material stuff and did all the Mcqs and a majority of the sims. Overtime, I thought i was prepared because my scores were getting better on my progress tests ( because I was memorizing the answer and not asking myself “”why?””)…

Anyways, I plan on retaking the exam on October 12th, and I have been stuyding for the past 2.5 weeks using my Becker stuff again and making sure i understand all the topics and writing down notes for topics i dont understand and asking myself “why?”… Overall, so far I feel much more prepared for this exam. However I am about to finish going through all my becker material with all the Mcqs and only one or two Sims ( idk why but i wasnt in the mood to do them)… And I basically have 2 weeks till my exam on the 12th. I wanted to see what advice anyone had for me that had to retake the exam a second time and what helped them the most and drastically changed their score?

I also, plan on buying Ninja MCQS for this upcoming two weeks and using that to prepare and also plan on doing the Becker review Final exams eventually.

So, any advice as to how i should approach these last two weeks would be awesome! And also any advice on how I should use Ninja Mcqs? I have never used it before and wasnt sure if i should go section by section or just combine them all?

Thanks for any help you can give!
