    Took very fist section of the CPA exam, Regulation, and I failed it brutally. Since then, I’ve been very scared to retake Regulation. I don’t blame any prep material or anyone, but myself. I am left with no energy to study after working twelve-hour shift. I have used Becker for REG and there final review as well.

    1. How can I motivate myself to study and don’t give up?

    2. What other material can I use?

    Thank you everyone for taking your time to reply.

    Regarding your #1 – Why are you taking the exam? Use those reasons as motivation. Nobody said this was easy. You just have to push through it and keep plugging along.

    I know about total exhaustion while studying but remind yourself it's not forever. Treat studying like a paying job and do it even when you have zero interest or energy for it. The reward is worth it. I'm a fan of rewriting notes over and over again, and a fan the ninja notes too. And google the pomodoro method! Wish I knew about that sooner.

    FAR- 77
    AUD -49, 71, 84
    REG -56,75!
    BEC -75

    Massachusetts CPA (non reporting) since 3/12.

    lol. A ninja post is when someone (such as myself) was in the process of typing a really sweet response to the OP, and upon clicking “send post”…realized that low and behold, someone else (such as yourself) posted a similar response in a quicker fashion than it took someone (such as myself) to type up their respective post. In other words, I should have typed faster. You have the stealth of a ninja.

    BEC: Passed
    AUD: Passed
    REG: Passed
    FAR: Passed
