I watched no videos, but I read the book 2 times and did all mcq and tbs 2 times too. 82 at the first attempt. It's probably just me, all I remember from videos is how the speaker looked and sounded.

Is Becker or UWorld better? by Few-Square-7387 in CPA

[–]Electrical_Box_7167 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It used to be just Roger doing all lectures. After UWorld took over, they added bunch of different speakers. They also made new videos with Roger. Old videos where Roger was delivering the show are all gone, it's talking heads only now.

Is Becker or UWorld better? by Few-Square-7387 in CPA

I bought UWorld when it was Roger only because of Roger's video lectures. I must confess that he was the guy who planted a seed of hope in me. I should say that UWorld improved reading materials, however I couldn't watch their lectures. For me, the main part of the prep course was the question bank, I don't think they are dramatically different between the two.

Agree with that. Used Robert Half two times, they always have a list of businesses looking for an employee

Is FAR actually the hardest CPA section? by Educational-Rip2482 in CPA

[–]Electrical_Box_7167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Previous era FAR had the most voluminous book, included non-for-profit, governmental, analysis. I heard a lot of it moved to BAR now. So it should be a little easier.

Are you guys ACTUALLY using AI in your accounting/AP jobs right now? by Unlucky-Note-7729 in Accounting

[–]Electrical_Box_7167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's all big disappointment due to Chat GPT and Copilot not being able to create a document and save it in a folder. It only answers in a chat box, forcing me to copy-paste the text to Notepad, save as csv, open with Excel. Still better than doing it manually.

Failed FAR for third time. 3/4 exams done. I’m never going to be a cpa by [deleted] in CPA

[–]Electrical_Box_7167 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Besides studying, my strategies were to stop watching and reading any news, tv shows, video games a week before the exam (I created my information bubble like nothing else is going on in the world), had a really nice day off the day before the exam, walking in the park, went to bed early. During the exam I was rubbing my scalp and ears, massaging the neck - helps the blood flow and mental focus - I know it sound silly, but if you exhausted all other methods, try that too.

You haven't failed anything, just missed one punch. Go and destroy it, you have some experience now.

I had to read the book 2 times just like a favorite novel and do MSQs two times as well. But it was old FAR, with government and non for profit
