My best advice is to make a study plan and stick with it! It can be very hard to catch up if you get behind. I used CPA Excel and it ends a full week before your anticipated test date. I felt overwhelmed when I realized that I didn't have very good notes and the exam was only a week away. Luckily, I discovered Ninja notes! I used the final week to re-write the ninja notes (which really did help!) and watched the video several times. I also listened to the audio on my daily commute. Come test day I felt very prepared. I also highly recommend using the Wiley test bank. Practice those simulations and get a feel for them. Study hard and do the simulations and MCQs until you can't stand it, then do some more!

I just came to know that I have failed AUD and got 70…

I don't know what I am gonna do bcoz this was my comeback trail to be a CPA but I just read on somebody's post :

DO NOT GIVE UP…

I keep getting in and around High 70's but never am able to pass it…I gave BEC a while ago and goy 69 there…

So I tried and gave AUD instead…

Best tip would be to go on…DONT ACCEPT FAILURES…..

The best tip I can offer anyone about studying for the CPA exam is take each section in small bites and try not to get overwhelmed. I watch a lecture and then immediately do MC questions while the topics are fresh in my mind. I also allow for an ample amount of time for the simulations – don't think these are easy points because they are not! Just stay focus and keep your eyes on that beautiful big certificate you will have one day!

Sutdy hard but make sure to allow time with your wife (or other kids, friends, etc). Even though they are not the ones studying, they are praying for you. My wife basically takes over all house chores – cleaning, washing, errands, you name it she does it – while I'm studying.

Also, allow time in your study schedule for life's unexpected events.

Best exam tip is asks people who have passed and failed exams on what they have experienced. This will help you decide what you need to do before you start studying.

1. Delete Facebook

2. Dont take an extended break from studying(3+ days) because it's really hard to come back. If you truly don't have time to study say one week at least read one page from your book a day so your still engaged.

Stay focused on the path you have selected. Commit. Do not second guess yourself or let life drama get in the way.

My advice would be to have a plan. Time management and setting boundaries is essential now that we are adults and have lives full of distraction.
