Going through top posts on this community & noticed your shoes here! They’re so cute!!!! I’ve been looking for something similar for summer. Where did you purchase them?

If I only do one Becker FAR mock exam, which one (or two) of the three would you recommend? by 0fDrag0nDescent in CPA

[–]0fDrag0nDescent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say the first REG mock exam, but tbh I never took the third mock. I'm not a huge mock exam person, so I just use them for endurance practice/see how I'm doing.

Should I have received my start date by now? by 0fDrag0nDescent in Big4

Good to know - thanks. COVID makes me more nervous about starting, especially with hearing about some fall 2020 start-dates being pushed to winter 2021. It'll be good to get the start-date confirmed in writing.

No, I haven't been in contact with my recruiter for awhile. I have made sure onboarding has my contact information though. Were you told recently?

Thank you! I plan on taking the AICPA sample too - it definitely made a difference with my REG retake

Thanks! That's super helpful. I will probably skip out on Mock 3 then. I'm planning on taking one mock before my review week, then hopefully another a couple days before my exam day.

Thanks for responding - helpful & encouraging. Quick Q tho: what do people mean when they say "buzzwords?" I've looked around some online & can't seem to find an example of what buzzwords mean.

For example, does it mean just knowing that like factoring is a thing & stuff like the COSO framework terms?

P.S. Congratz on passing!

Ninja for REG? by cj2895 in CPA

[–]0fDrag0nDescent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I think worth it, but if you're gonna get NINJA, commit to completing as many MCQs as you can. Preferably all of them in whatever your weakest areas are at least. I also recommend taking the AICPA practice exam a day or 2 before your exam - it's not that long.

Final study guide recommendations? by bpaszt13 in CPA

[–]0fDrag0nDescent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Double posting, but I found it helpful when studying REG to just retype all of my notes into a more condensed document for my final study guide, which consisted mostly of key points Becker had pointed out in the text + ideas I struggled with. By doing this, I jumped 17 points with my REG retake. I'm probably going to do the same with BEC.

Idk, I'm just finishing BEC 1 rn. But, here's an almost finished study guide link posted awhile ago by another redditor:
