Another71 forum was like my second home on the internet when I used to prep for CPA exams.

Stressed? Frustrated? Score release date? this forum was always with me.

It has been more than 2 years since I completed my CPA journey, but I still do visit this forum just like visiting my hometown. In fact, I started CPA exams 3 months after I started working as an entry level, and that’s when I heard of this forum. I saw a lot of great stories of people who overcame the difficulties in their lives and finally became CPAs. As for anyone who studies for CPA exams, I was frustrated by amount of time and efforts invested on the study materials, and the failures. But after seeing the posts here, I got positive energy to push myself forward, and put a period to this journey.

Also, everyone in this forum is welcoming, and make me relaxed. I am currently studying for actuarial exams, so I sometimes go to actuarial forum. I get a lot of information about exams from that forum, but not more than that. I wanted to participate in the group, but somehow I have some feeling that I don’t belong to them (I cannot better describe the feeling that I have in there)

However, in this forum, people are willing to share their experiences with study, and career – just like friends, or family!

So I guess I will come to this forum time to time whenever I am bored, or have difficulties, and get encouragement!

For those who are studying for CPA, or any other exams – you are not alone suffering from exam prep. As long as you don’t give up, and continue studying, you will make it at the end. It is not about how smart how quick you accomplish your goals, but it is about how persistent, patient you are in your prep.
