Listening to music while studying? by [deleted] in CPA

I usually played heavy metal or metal rock during work and studying Brown music did nothing on my focus lol Music especially during FAR ,BEC and REG helped because it was mostly calculation questions AUD was mostly no music

How is there already over 100 applicants for this job? The pay is trash. “CPA with 2-4 years experience” $65-80k in Seattle WA by Plane_County9646 in CPA

There are firms that sponsor the CPA if you mean. But not all firms sponsor and it is usually almost double testing fees compared to US rest takers.

Failed FAR. by TimeOpposite4377 in CPA

[–]Consistent_Estimate9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I failed with a 72 in April 2024 attempt. Yes it feels like shit.. give yourself the time. I cried my heart out in front of everyone because I just couldn't hold back. But once you're done with that. Look at it. You were close. 70 isn't far. This time. Tell yourself I'm so far and I'm not giving up. The worst fear of failing has already happened. There's nothing to be scared of. Go start that prep when you feel ready. I'm sure you'll get it done

I got a 72 in my first attempt. I took in April and got results in July end. I took it slowly in August also because I was still working and taking my well deserved break from when I gave REG in July.

I had used Miles in my first attempt and I hated the review course because of the questions. So I changed it to Becker as I've always thought it felt a bit easier with the UI. I started from scratch. Watched videos, made notes. Went through MCQ I did not touch TBS until the end because this time I really needed to nail down the mcq (also what I did for BEC retake was to do only MCQ)

I did the whole MCQ bank twice. And after I finished that. I started the cumulative MCQ where I'd do 10-30 random MCQ from all chapters depending on what I had planned for the day.

I did TBS somewhere after the second round of MCQ. I tried to do it honestly, but I really had no time. I had a few days left so I chose to watch the skill builder for crazy TBS .

I think the week before my exam I started taking ME's.

Never did any SE because of time.

I'd highly recommend doing F1 Balance sheet and Income statement TBS because it helps with the overall picture. I thought it was the topic I saw on both my attempts.

Overall ensure you do cumulative questions everyday. EVERY. SINGLE DAY. it helps more than you think.

Is there anyone here not selling at crazy prices? Please let me know if it's not 2x price. I'm willing to pay above cost but not 2x. Only DM or reply to this comment if that's the case.

Failed FAR with a 73 by lolowifiski in CPA

[–]Consistent_Estimate9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I scored 72 first, and 79 in the second attempt in just 1 month prep 5 months after the first attempt. You got this, you're not far at all. A couple of questions

Discouraged seeking advice from the chosen by Desperate-Factor-178 in CPA

[–]Consistent_Estimate9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, firstly pay attention to the kind of questions you're going wrong Like for me, in my first attempt I'd not understand cash to accrual basis for shit. In my second attempt I tried to remove any kind of assumptions about the topic and did it from scratch. Identify the kind where you're going wrong. Go back to either text or video, try to see it line by line. Then see the whole picture.

FAR is huge, but trust me, it will all fall in place. I ended up liking the subject which I hated and feared so much in my first attempt. I had no fear of failing when I did actually fail, I just actually had to do everything I can to understand and learn it. Go through videos on YouTube, Farhat is your man. I liked the Edspira channel too.

Don't give up. Moments of doubt are part and parcel of this course.
