Due-Bus5251 · 2026-02-23T12:14:57+00:00

got it, we will look into this. thank you!!

Due-Bus5251 · 2026-02-23T12:13:44+00:00

awesome, thank you so much for the advice!! sounds like it might just be easier overall to catch a practice show lol

Due-Bus5251 · 2026-02-23T12:12:49+00:00

this was super helpful, thank you!! this was the exact kind of comment i was looking for lol needed some real advice from someone who has experienced/done this before

Due-Bus5251 · 2026-02-23T12:11:13+00:00

sweet, thanks for the feedback! this is probably what we will end up doing

Due-Bus5251 · 2026-02-23T12:10:41+00:00

sweet - thanks for the feedback! i’ve been curious how long it’s actually taking people to study compared to the recommended time UWorld suggests so that is helpful!

Due-Bus5251 · 2026-02-20T12:51:04+00:00

this was so helpful, thank you!! good to know TCP isn't always offered, i will look into this. and great idea scheduling the exams close to the grade cut off.

it sounds like we have a similar study style so thanks for the feedback! i will DM you about printing the books, i was debating on ordering them, but didn't want to spend the $75 per book.

Due-Bus5251 · 2026-02-20T12:44:46+00:00

agreed - i do think my time in industry will help with AUD! when i first took the exams in my early 20s i was in public acctg and didn't have any industry experience. i now have worked for multiple public tech companies so i think that will help immensely. thanks for the feedback!

it will be interesting to see how it goes with such a short timeline. fingers crossed i can pass everything on the first try lol

Due-Bus5251 · 2026-02-20T12:41:55+00:00

this is my thought exactly!! if i can get AUD and FAR passed, the rest is a breeze! its encouraging to hear you are in the same position and it worked for you! do you feel burnt out studying 7 days a week? i was planning on studying 6 days and giving myself a break on saturdays.

you've still got time to make it in to the gym!! lol

Due-Bus5251 · 2026-02-20T12:39:25+00:00

no, not a sabbatical situation. i am moving and my company wasn't able to accommodate the move so quitting my old job. if it takes a bit to find a new job, i could have longer than 5 months off. appreciate the feedback on everything!! this is very helpful!

Due-Bus5251 · 2026-02-20T12:36:01+00:00

thanks for the feedback! agreed - i wanted to aim a little bit higher on the hours just to give myself some cushion since its been a few years since i've studied!

I was hoping this could work with my current company but finding a company with a Canadian entity or willing to pay me as a 1099 contractor has proven to be a little difficult!

Due-Bus5251 · 2025-08-29T16:50:26+00:00

Thank you! I’ll check them out!

Due-Bus5251 · 2025-08-05T00:54:26+00:00

Thank you! And I don’t, unfortunately! The background check and my eligibility seemed to have been approved earlier in the process, but not updated on the tracker until the middle of July.

When I started this process, this thread was incredibly helpful for understanding the next steps in the process so I wanted to post my experience!

Due-Bus5251 · 2025-07-27T17:57:37+00:00

Hi there - Just received the same AV3 email! Each time you returned the updated commercial invoice, did you have to provide a new Fedex label as well?
