Congratulations to all successful candidates!

I have been reading the forum silently for over a year but this is my first post. I apologize for shouting but I have a good reason for it 🙂 I AM DONE!!!

Here are my stats:

FAR – 80 (11/17/14)
AUD – 90 (2/28/15)
BEC – 67 (5/11/15, skipped WCs all together, paid dearly), retake – 81 (8/3/15, completed all WCs)
REG – 78 (11/30/15)
Ethics – 95 (12/6/15)
Used Becker CPA Review and Ninja 10 point combo for all sections (used mostly videos and notes); Roger Cram for final reviews for AUD, BEC, and REG; Wiley test bank and Focus Notes for BEC retake.

I think it is not too bad considering that English is my second language.

Another85, Thank you for your tips. I'm just wondering what you meant in your advice to study business law first. What does blaw have anything to do with revising tax formulas?

Also, just for curiosity sake-what field do you work in, and did you find that area of the exam easier?

[Anonymous]

What I meant is that you should study the book (assuming Becker) like that:

Chapter 5
Chapter 6
Chapter 7
Chapter 8

Then

Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
Chapter 4

The reason being, you should study tax chapters last. Start with business law.
If you start with tax and then progress to business las, you'll forget the tax part because it's more complicated.

Hope this helps.

@BirelCPA are you a 99 in AUD person? lol NICE!!

@CPA Slayer Haha, I know, it was the last section, and I wanted to get it over with. Absolutely no time to study + my family will visit for the winter, so there will be no time and I wanted the bonus 🙂

I don't know who asked me about where I work. I work in big 4, in core assurance – audit. I think I will switch to advisory kind of work after I get enough knowledge from audit, like in 3 or 5 years.
