Exam tip: When I started working many people around me were/are sitting for the exam as well. My tip is not to get wrapped up and compare yourself to your peers. Every one will get there, just at their own rate

I have never sat for any part of the exam and I started studying in Jan for regulation on 2/24/14. My advice is to not so wired on caffeine because it makes it very hard to focus. If you have trouble making yourself study when you get home or after dinner or working out, a good way to approach studying is to see if you can stay at work after your shift and use one of the conference/meeting rooms to study. It would be a good idea to pack a small second lunch or something to hold you over until you get home. (Eating before bed doesn’t matter-total macros at end of day do) Chances are it will be completely silent with no distractions other than the ones you create yourself.

The best tip I can give is to make a study calendar, and no matter what, you stick to it (rain or shine)! Make sure you have a good support group (for those working parents with full time jobs, spouses and kids). You will need everyone to help out so that you can just focus on staying on track. Don't give yourself any excuses because you will be only cheating your self!

REG – 80 (07/13)

BEC- 71 (08/13), 79 (10/13)

AUD- 76 (11/13)

FAR- scheduled for Feb 27th 14, fingers crossed!

CPA exam advice would be practice the questions as much as possible and take as much time as needed studying before sitting for a part of the exam, don't limit yourself.

All it takes self discipline and commitment. Strictly follow your well planned study schedules…. read… read more notes and more MCQs then again more MCQs finally back to notes (preferably your own hand written short notes) to sum-up the concepts. Follow NINJA study frame => Nail the Videos, Intense Notes, Non-Stop MCQs & Just Re-Write It. Listen to Ninja Audios whenever you got time for like driving, house cleaning & cooking or doing physical exercise, it helps a lot to memorize major concepts by heart. Finally, be strategic to perform at your best on your exam day.

Career Tip: If you are serious about becoming a CPA, start your career at a CPA firm that will teach you what you need to learn. Don't make the mistake I made by going Corporate!!!

Study tip: Make sure to get enough sleep every night (although it's so tempting to foresake it for more study time). Research has shown that you're way less likely to retain information if you're studying when falling asleep, so it almost becomes counterproductive..
