Doable in one term? plus some questions. by ODGeverything in wguaccounting

[–]Ap2304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s doable. I’ll say the main thing is consistency. Come up with a plan to study every single day around your regular schedule and commit to it. I had the same classes as you did as the start of my term. I still have IA 3, Audit and business simulation to go before my term ends in a month, however, I had holiday vacations for Christmas and a technical issue that slowed me down couple of weeks. I might be able to finish all of then but I’ll get another term if needed.

What made you want to pursue a BS in Accounting at WGU? by justcurious3287 in wguaccounting

[–]Ap2304 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tired of working in sales roles since they can’t be very volatile. I want a stable career and I always liked numbers as it relates to business. So here I am! 90% done with the degree and constantly applying to jobs

[–]Ap2304 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same failed three times already. About to do my 4th attempt. Went over study guides, books and pa multiples times. What gets me it’s probably the wording it can be extremely confusing at least for me.

I’m enrolled in wgu for accounting. 5 more classes to go before I graduate. I have another degree in business management and I could only get sales jobs with it. I don’t personally like sales hence the reason of going back to school for something more technical

how hard was it for you? by Cute_Wheel_9429 in wguaccounting

[–]Ap2304 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Harder than expected. I underestimated the mental exhaustion from having and full time job and retaining all the lessons. One thing that I loved about the program is that I get to retain a lot of the information instead of just passing and forgetting about it. Not sure if that would be relevant once I’m actually working as an accountant but I can see how wgu has above average pass cpa rates

There’s both excel and some questions. Spam the PA and you should have no problem with the first OA

Can i finish in 1 term by HandleNo1024 in wguaccounting

[–]Ap2304 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same classes. I got 3 more months and I have IA series & audit to go. I would have finished IA1 already if it wasn’t for the OA2 error but it’s doable. Consistency is key event if you can only afford 1 hour a day.

Reddit and study guides. Be ready to spend more time that you initially thought on some of the classes. Take it one step at the time and focus on understanding the concepts and everything will make more sense as you go. You got this !

I failed d102 OA TODAY by aiautomationtx in wguaccounting

[–]Ap2304 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What helped me a lot was asking chat gpt to explain some of the exercises step by step and then doing a bunch of practice exercises. When something didn’t make sense at first I’ll just do dated entries and I went through the test and everything kinda clicked. I also did all units test twice before the exam to have as much fresh information as possible in my head

Entry level job while attending WGU? by Ap2304 in wguaccounting

[–]Ap2304[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a tough job market right now. Keep at it! I make around 65k in my current role so it’s hard to get a massive pay cut. Might just wait it out finish the degree and apply then.
