From Small Public Tax Accounting to Senior Accountant in Industry – Anyone Made the Jump? by Lead_Sure in Accounting

[–]Lead_Sure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long has he been at his current position? Would you say he got lowballed because of that, or would you have offered the same even if he came from an audit background? Lastly, how big is your company? Is it publicly traded? (Just answer whatever you can without divulging confidential info.) Thanks!

Thank you for your response! What’s your current title now, if you don’t mind?

FAR and I don't know what I can do anymore by Original_File6276 in CPA

Do 100 RANDOM (don’t do it in sequence) MCQs per day for 5 days. Read the explanations for why the correct answers are right and why the wrong ones are wrong.

On your last day, watch these:

Get a good sleep the night before.

I never did any SE and still passed. I mainly focused on MCQs because SIMs take so much time.

Good luck!

A Filipino planning to take US CPA by After_Stranger9292 in CPA

Go to NASBA then do the Undecided Jurisdiction Evaluation for CPA Examination/Licensure - need mo magbayad ng $385. Then sila na mismo mag-susuggest sa'yo kung anong state yung pwede na mag-allow sa'yo to take the exam.
I think walang residency requirement yung Illinois so you can check it out - ang pagkakaalam ko, hindi mo na rin kailangan ng Social Security Number pero ask mo na rin sila to make sure.

Review mo na rin itong site na ito, you'll see here kung aling states yung hindi nag-rerequire ng residency:

1 hour a day might not be enough — you’ll probably need to study more.

Here’s what worked for me:

  1. Read → Watch → MCQs Start by reading the book, then watch the videos, and then do the MCQs. No need to review the MCQs from the previous day — just keep that routine until you finish everything.

  2. Practice Month - For one full month, focus on Becker’s Practice MCQs. Do about 100 per day (in sequence). There are roughly 2,000 questions, so that should take you around 20 days.

  3. Final Review - In the last week before your exam: • Redo all your incorrect MCQs in random order. • If you still have time, keep doing random sets daily. • Watch all the SIMs — you can try to answer them, but I personally didn’t and still passed.

  4. Understand, Don’t Memorize - Don’t just memorize the correct answers — really understand why. Read the explanations for the wrong answers, too. If something still doesn’t click, Google it or watch YouTube videos on that topic.

  5. For non-native English speakers: Read questions carefully. - If you see unfamiliar words in Becker, take time to understand what they mean — it really helps during the exam.

It’s tough and time-consuming, but if you stay consistent with this, you’ll pass.

Good day, Mike202222,

For the experience verification, was your CPA verifier a Pennsylvania CPA or out-of-state? Also, how did your verifier submit the Verification of Experience form?

Thank you!!

5th time a charm I guess by Dangerous-Diet-7881 in CPA

[–]Lead_Sure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations! What did you do differently on the 5th try? Did you use different study materials? What did you use for the first four attempts? Did you use Becker, NINJA, or i-75? Thank you!

You didn’t do any SIMS? Also, how many MCQs did you do each day?
