The best advice I received was to figure out what study method works best for you! If you don't learn well watching videos or listening, then an audio/video program is a waste of your time. Utilize the methods that work best for you and most importantly, become a NINJA!

Also, if you are lucky enough to have a summer/semester to focus on the exam before you start your career. Sit down and knock out the exam, even if this means taking 2 at a time. Treat it as your full time job while you're not working and………

GIT-ER-DONE!

BEC: 79
REG: 77
AUD: 83
FAR: May 3, 2014 This WILL be my last exam.

Hard work and a good reasonable plan will not let you down on exam day. But you have to stick to your plan. When you explain and share your understanding of what you have learned it will help in retaining the info.

Keep ninja flashcards with you all the time.

Creating a study plan and sticking to it! Then lots and lots of multiple choice questions – I've also found flashcards to be very helpful when you simply need a break from staring at a computer screen…. Oh, and remember stay positive – you're not alone in the CPA battle!!

Here is my tip:

Take two days off before the exam to completely clear your mind, rather than trying to force yourself to remember equations or hundreds of tidbits of information all at once. On test day you will either know it or not, but even if you don't know it you won't increase your chance of passing if you are stressed.

Wake up, do a quick review or overall review of what you studied yesterday, review again at night. Rinse and repeat. Do this in addition to regularly hammering out MCQs and TBSs with breaks. Do NOT overload on studying. I believe studying becomes less effective when you go nonstop. Of course, this may vary between people.

FAR - 65,84
AUD - 71,74,74
REG - 64
BEC - 74

For those just starting to study my best tip would be to ignore the fact that none of it makes any sense and just keep watching and listening. It eventually does start making sense. I can't tell you how many times I put it all down thinking I'm going to need to pull out the old textbooks, homework, etc. to brush up. DON'T PUT IT DOWN. Just keep watching and listening. I swear it will all start to come together.

I realize after studying for some time that it is best to have a plan and goals in mind in how you are going to study for the CPA exam.

Best tip for REG is to practice the simulations.

If you're like me, you'll focus so much on memorizing the details of the textbook and doing the homework that when test time rolls around, you barely touched simulations. That worked for me on FAR, BEC, and AUD. Then with REG being my last one I thought I could do the same.

Nope.

Failed by 1 point and score report revealed sims were the weakest. I say if you practice the simulations enough, you'll be comfortable with the format of how to approach and think about it. I think REG simulations (next to FAR) are the hardest because the presentation along with the concepts and many rules can overwhelm people.

I practiced sims a lot and felt a lot more comfortable the second time around.

Used Becker and Wiley MC bank.
