My best study tip is to stay positive and believe that you can pass. I've been taking exams for two years and sometimes I've gone into a section telling myself I'll fail it before I even start studying, which is the wrong approach to take when completing any task.

As a former college athlete, I never would have told myself that I would fail before a practice or meet, so I've started to pump myself up with positive thoughts before I study or take an exam the way I would if I were still playing sports. After you've put all the hard work in, remember to tell yourself you CAN pass.

Definitely keep reviewing old material that you have studied, otherwise you will forget it all by the time you finish all the material.

Also – don't simply rote memorize things, especially if they are computational. Talk it out with someone, even they don't have accounting experience. This will force you test yourself on your understanding of the material.

My exam tip would be to download some notes on your phone. Mainly the ninja notes, or even your own typed out notes converted to iBooks into your iphone. Read these on the subway, bus, grocery line – basically any time you get some spare time to stand around. I do this frequently because sometimes there isn't enough space to take a laptop out or a textbook. It definitely helps out!

Ninja Notes and Ninja MCQ

REG - 75
AUD - 79

Done! Do not give up!

Study tip: Be honest with yourself and think about how you study best. Are you a visual learner? Do you learn better by doing? If you know that and when you're energy is best for studying, you will give yourself the gift of better quality studies.

My best advice…keep going. You're tired? keep going. You're frustrated? Keep going. You'd rather go out for coffee? get your coffee and keep going. You want to go out with friends? Skip it and keep going. Don't psych yourself out, if you want it bad enough you can have it. But you have to want it.

BEC - Defeated me...with a score so horrid i care not to mention it. Retake 5/14
AUD - TBD
REG - TBD
FAR - TBD

My study tip is to NOT procrastinate…it's incredibly easy to say you'll study a bit harder tomorrow to make up for slacking off today but it's not worth it in the end. Suddenly it'll be a few days before the exam and you'll be in full panic mode. Make a study schedule and stick to it!

BEC: passed!
FAR: passed!
REG: passed!
AUD: passed!
