Anyone else hate when people say this? Sure you don’t need to be a top student type, but it certainly helps. Nothing funnier than people scoring 90s and saying it is all about memorization, not how smart you are. Yea, whatever you say buddy.

It is true, smart def helps, I would love to be a genius and pass by once. However, most of us take more than once for one part and we just don't stop fighting until we pass all of them. It is about how much are you committee to the CPA. I realize that every time I do my best and study a lot, I can pass.

The exam requires a certain level of intelligence as well as whole hearted dedication. In my opinion, focusing and making this exam your life priority is arguably more important than intelligence. Extremely smart people will likely fail without properly preparing and using a study review system.
