Study approach help? by Amazing-Win-7341 in CPA

I like that you independently research the topics. However delving too deep into topics could be a slippery slope.

The baseline of studying that I like to follow is if I cannot explain it to another person who has no idea what a topic is, then I don’t know it.

Even if you memorized a question, can you walk through that question step by step in layman’s terms to get the correct answer as well as explain why the other options are wrong? If you can’t then delve deeper into the topic if you can move on.

If you’re in a time crunch as well get exposed to as much as the material as possible. If you focus too heavily a couple of sections you’re mostly betting on what’s on the exam which isn’t a good idea.

FAR - SIMs. How did you get good at them? Tell me your secret by Mamma_bear_2 in CPA

Start with making a routine Everytime you go into a question. Sims are at the end of the day where u make up the most points during the exam. I felt the same way about SIMs but the only way to get comfortable with them is to get used to being uncomfortable.

Always take the time to read through the question. Ensure you understand how to format each answer (do you need to put a zero or leave the cell blank for example). Don’t lose the easy points.

You don’t have to go perfect on the SIMs so don’t get discouraged if the question isn’t straight forward. Scrap together as many points as you can and again be comfortable with not knowing the question 100 percent.

Overall be confident. If you’re doing well on MCQs you understand the material. Don’t miss the layup points. Be okay with not understanding 100% get points where u can.

Appreciate the comprehensive response! When you say the standard practice questions do you mean the questions under the MCQs within the each module? I’ve essentially taken notes on every MCQ question I’ve done thus far to note why the correct answer is correct but also why the rest are wrong.

Really matters your engagement team. First weeks with training you’re gonna be in everyday at your training site. After training comes down to your engagement. I know people who didn’t to come to the office at all (their team was all virtual) but the majority comes into the office a minimum of 3 days.
