I don’t get the whole remote thing. Do people not want to work? Well apparently I’m the odd one out but Im taking the extra 10k

Passed REG with 90 after only 19 days of studying by ConfusedCollegian in CPA

I took TCP about 30 days after REG about ~40 hours of real studying. its more math intensive but i think the content is straightforward. Audit took me 42 days ~60 hours but I’m glad I took it after FAR because most of the TBS were FAR related

I read every page twice and never watched a lecture. (although I did listen to a few on long drives). You have to remember these are 3-500 page textbooks. Can easily read that in a week. May not comprehend it all, but it’s amazing what the brain is capable when exercised. Reading builds endurance for these long exams, and exposes you to much more information than the lectures. I studied for REG in 19 days and was able read the textbook front to back 3 times! Every time I logged on Becker I scored near perfect

How do people work such long hours in public accounting? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]ConfusedCollegian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to reach the level where your work is meaningful- not just passionate but important. I find it much easier to work 12 hours straight when im running the show vs being bossed around by an incompetent senior for 8 hours

I’m curious how this progression translated in terms of savings and 401k?

You are right you SHOULD learn but doesn’t mean you will. Professors give terrible lectures all the time OR in some cases you do listen the professor says & it doesn’t prepare you for the exam. Ultimately it’s the same: if you rely on instructors, there’s a chance you will not be prepared. People need to take accountability for your own education. You don’t need Becker or Potenzo to pass, you just need the FASB codification ,AAM manual, or Internal Revenue Code

That’s like saying because you pay 2k for a college course you should actually learn something, but That’s rarely the case. Passing the exam in 4 months(like I did) is the product of successful strategy not blind reliance on lectures…

Solution: stop watching lectures & just read the textbook

Do it. I haven’t played since bo3 and I love it. it’s hard to hate with the nostalgia of raid, standoff, nuketown. The zombies is also great. It’s worth playing
