My study tip is to have a set schedule and follow it best as possible. Tip #2 is eat lunch at your desk or if in the field, bring your lunch and STUDY!

Since I haven't passed any exams yet 🙁 (which I really hope to be finished by this year) – I can post any helpful tips as career – related. Some tips for any new grads going to the real world is to believe in yourself and to be confident. It's a tough and competitive business world out there. We don't know everything so don't be afraid to ask questions. Take lots of notes. Remember, one bad day (at work) doesn't mean a bad life.

Studying with a friend if possible always helps!

Always eat a meal before your exam.

Always believe in yourself!

Working in the Big 4, I had a hard time finding time outside of work to study. I noticed that the least work would interrupt me occurred around holidays, so I started planning my exams and PTO for studying around the holidays. I know it's not ideal to study around holidays since it is family time, but my family was understanding and work left me alone so I took advantage it. I studied over Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, my birthday, and the Super Bowl (yes that is a holiday to some people! 🙂 )

FAR: 73 (5/2011), 71 (11/2012), 79 (1/2013)
AUD: 71 (7/2011), 83 (2/2013)
REG: 60 (8/2011), 77 (2/2013)
BEC: 74 (4/2013), 80 (8/2013)

My study tip is to make notes and read them as much as possible. I understand that doing MCQs is also a good way of learning but first you need to have good understanding of the topic. Otherwise MCQs can be really frustrating. Happy Studying everyone!!!

The biggest tip I can give you is to STUDY the NFP (8%-12% – per AICPA site) & Governmental Accounting (8%-12%) – do not underestimate how much they test on these sections!

Who's better than us? NOBODY!

My tip would be (at least for FAR) to really focus on the Simulations. I do not feel that the MCQs are all that helpful in doing well on the sims (and that is 40%!)
