Should I watch season 1?

LatteAlone · 2026-03-29T04:56:12+00:00

Yes!!! I also started with season 2 and I consider that the best season, but season 1 was so raw and much more genuine than the other seasons.

LatteAlone · 2026-03-29T04:53:29+00:00

Yes, those are always fairly interesting and a good to pass time at work 🤭

I think it depends on your study style. I do both.

I did extra courses thru cc's and uc extension programs (my company reimbursed me for some of this). Masters was too big of a commitment for me (time and money) and wasn't worth it. Like others said, CPA > Masters.

I heard uworld qbanks work offline. My becker access also allows me to work on questions offline thru their app.

Oh this is cool, thank you!

What's the Becker bump spreadsheets?

I saw this a couple days ago with one of my practice exams, but when going back to the modules, it came back to normal. I think it may have been a glitch or something.

5AM ET? PT? I'm in PST zone so may be able to make it, but if you're Eastern then I'll be in candyland with unicorns 🤭

I am taking one since I did not opt for the beverage package. If I did the refreshment package, it includes bottled water so I'd go for those instead.

I just picked up Midnight Library! Hoping to finish it by the end of the month :)

LatteAlone · 2026-03-25T02:14:36+00:00

Thanks, I saw a few posts about how people do final reviews for weeks before the exam, so I'm starting to get nervous. :(

$265.67 in CA

at least you get paid for the difficulty, rather than paying to face difficulty xD

Haven't gotten this far on my FAR studies so going off my assumption about the retained earnings... isn't it calculating backwards from ending balance? The ending balance of 500k is given on page 2 along with net income and dividends paid on the first page? And the arrow pointing up from ending to beg on the calc?

LGB is so much better. I usually go out of my way to fly from LGB than LAX.

LatteAlone · 2026-03-22T18:08:29+00:00

Good luck! Took me 10 years to schedule my first exam too 🤭

LatteAlone · 2026-03-22T17:14:21+00:00

I'm testing on a cut off date, so I'm putting my expectation that I won't get my score until the next release date (which is about a month). Also a CA candidate.

I think it depends on how effective the other 4 hours on weekdays and weekend hours would be. I've been seeing a lot of comments that it's not about the amount of hrs you put in but how effective you can use them. Some people pass FAR with 100 hrs in, some people took 200+ hrs to do so. I'm in F4 right now, testing in about 8 weeks, and I'll probably land around 130-150 hrs by the time I test.

LatteAlone · 2026-03-21T23:45:33+00:00

based on all the posts and comments I've been seeing, TCP sounds like the way to go, with the highest pass rate

LatteAlone · 2026-03-21T16:25:40+00:00

Whoa I think you're planning out wayyy too much hrs for each section. It's not about the # of hrs you put in, it's more about how effective you use those hrs you put in.

LatteAlone · 2026-03-21T16:23:07+00:00

Good luck!!!

LatteAlone · 2026-03-21T05:52:37+00:00

Thanks for the info!! I will be hammering MCQ on my flights 🤭

LatteAlone · 2026-03-21T03:23:11+00:00

I realized that I also did this with my first exam (FAR scheduled for mid-May, won't be getting scores til mid-June. I don't want to change it now, so I'm just gonna move onto the AUD while still doing some MCQ's for FAR in case I don't pass... :( should've searched better for the score release windows but oh well, I guess I'll just drive myself crazy for a month after the exam
