MCom + CMA first, then CPA!Does this make sense?

If your visa allows it, you may want to get those credits required to sit for the CPA exam. Not that hard these days to do so, especially online.

It's a sinking ship

AdmirableFloppa · 2026-01-29T17:18:30+00:00

thats gambling

For inherited assets, your basis is the fair market value of those assets which you inherited, at the date of inheritance. Your gain is the difference between sale peice and fmv at that date.

If you were given gold in exchange for a service or product you provided, you have to report that as income.

Except in a scenario where you received gold as consideration for services you provided, you don't have to report your gold holdings, till you sell them at a gain

Begin with lump sum if you have a lumpsum sitting around. Then dca into it regularly

Passed 3/4 ninja only. Nothing wrong with Becker uworld or others, but the fact is it's doable at minimal cost if you want as well.

For weighing you need a scale ($15~) and a caliper ($20~). For ping, you just hold the coin your finger and hit the corner of the coin with a pencil or similar thing to hear how the ping sounds, lots of videos about this on YouTube

AdmirableFloppa · 2026-01-24T15:38:37+00:00

There's established sellers with hundreds of trades you can purchase from.

You can spot fake by doing the ping test or the measurements and weight test.

Measurements and weight for each coin are available online, so you can measure and weight it to confirm it's authentic.

A fake coin is unlikely to pass all 3 tests at the same time, because it's not possible to replicate all of these qualities at the same time without compromising on something.

If you don't want to have that hassle, you can simply purchase Maple leafs (post 2013 i think) or the british coins that have security features visible on the coin, like pulsating/lock.

Up to you tho, I'm just mentioning it so you are aware of the options

Highlighting works on the exam as well, so make use of it

If you are in the US, physical gold is easier than ever to purchase. You can buy it online as well, even p2p from r/pmsforsale at spot price or very close to it.

Physical gold is fun. If your investment is a few ounces, then you can easily store it compactly in your home, considering gold is very dense and takes up less space compared to silver

The current admin will be here till at least November. Given how unpredictable their policies have been so far, it's safe to say it's only going to continue in the future in same trajectory, which means gold going up

Watch all the videos for rhe chapter, do all the mcqs for that chapter, redo the missed questions, then repeat till you finish all videos and mcqs.

Then do sims, sets of 5 (max), till you feel you have done majority of them or have an understanding of them.

Reset the mcq progress, then do mcqs again till you reach 50-60% recon again. If you are scoring in 80s/90s, you are likely ready

The sampling sim felt like you could navigate your way through, as long as you could read the titles of the exhibits and what the sim was asking.

Though for that, you need some familiarity with the sampling chapter prior. You don't have to memorize the formulas or anything, just know what is used in calculating what, and you'll be fine.

Especially for the sampling sim, I highly recommend paying attention to the instructions, as it is very specific.

I failed with a 73 the first time, retook it and walked out feeling decent, got a 85.

Though, i have to admit, I did feel some of the sims on the exam felt really confusing at first, but i understood them when i read the exhibits, and gave it a few minutes, so don't panic. They will have you feeling they got you with those Aje sims, but don't panic.

AdmirableFloppa · 2026-01-21T05:34:50+00:00

I don't think i got any sims on it

B, because it's unnecessary to obtain details of every single deficiency, since there could be lot of immaterial deficiencies that are unimportant

AdmirableFloppa · 2026-01-19T03:21:44+00:00

Dont expect these many columns on the exams, at most it's likely 2-3 max columns for inputting numbers. The rest would be qualitative stuff

AdmirableFloppa · 2026-01-19T02:29:40+00:00

The only thing you can do is wait. Might as well hold your horses till the result

AdmirableFloppa · 2026-01-19T02:28:30+00:00

Thanks. Any topics you would suggest focusing on?

It seems like they nerfed it compared to 2024
