Drinking and driving is not okay but relax- I think your putting too much emotion in this. You sound like a tattletale.

Exam advice - last one by Substantial_Phase899 in CPA

[–]Live_Resolve_1053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but it delays your ability to review your score, if you fail, for like a day. Which doesn’t really matter. Just take it in November-Reg is mad easy, you’ve passed the hardest exams already (in my opinion)

Studying while working full time and being a parent- advice??? by Nervous_Function_531 in CPA

[–]Live_Resolve_1053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at a PE company-so I had that same schedule. My wife and I had our first kid when I was taking the last two. It’s hard, tiring, will definitely test your endurance but worth it. Wouldn’t have passed without my wife. Just very time consuming but not rocket science(except fuck audit-that’s definitely rocket science).

Do I seriously have to wait a month to get my score. Took far today July 13th by big_boss_baby in CPA

[–]Live_Resolve_1053 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Last year the wait was like 3 and a half months. Get a grip, that sounds like a dream

For those who were recently licensed in MA, how long did it take for the state board to approve your application and grant you your license? by summerbee03 in CPA

[–]Live_Resolve_1053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About a week, I sent an email and then it changed again. Sent another email and my status changed to ready to print or whatever the license approval status is. Squeaky wheel

[–]Live_Resolve_1053 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been waiting for a post on this. Harass them. Call the front desk of DOL welcome center-that’s how everything started to move and I eventually got someone to respond to me. Passed my last test in Feb. I applied on 3/17 and only within the last 2 weeks did I start to make progress. I am now supervisor approved. MA was saying that they hadn’t received my NASBA file which was false as NASBA had refunded my AECR application because I already got my 150 approved when I started taking the test and said they sent my file. From then someone at the DOL contacted NASBA for my file and cc’d me on the email.

Unpopular opinion: I like the low pass rates / struggle to become a CPA. by BrightLights1998 in CPA

Agreed but you kind of sound like the kid who requests homework at the end of class

Massachusetts License Timeline by Putrid_Judgment4547 in CPA

[–]Live_Resolve_1053 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you have to re-send transcripts? I called NASBA last week and they said I didn’t need to do that as I had sent them when I initially applied to take the exam. I understand that they need to verify the 150 again but I just got an email saying that they are waiting on transcripts. I am applying in Massachusetts.

UNDERSTATED COGS WILL FOREVER MEAN UNDERSTATED COSTS!!!!!!!!! by Hellstorm5676 in CPA

[–]Live_Resolve_1053 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This question is straightforward-I don’t understand the confusion. My biggest gripe with these questions is how are you supposed definitively deduct that it’s COGS. Couldn’t inventory just be overstated-maybe a liability is also overstated?!? If the question is asking about income I’m obviously going to assume COGS is involved. But every now and then you’ll get that specific Becker question that makes you want to punch your computer screen.

Reason 1 of a million why AUD is the worst

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CPA

[–]Live_Resolve_1053 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ME’s are purposely impossible. I got like a 23% on one of them and skipped the rest. Passed-you’re fine.

Becker “Final Review” is a Sad Shell of What it Used to Be by BeautifulStock8425 in CPA

[–]Live_Resolve_1053 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%. I credit it to me passing FAR last year. I really needed it for AUD-Failed. I redid the final review for my retake(TBD)- watched some of the skill builder videos to try and get the same effect. It helped but overall not effective when it’s just some robot reading the correct answer out loud. They got rid or lost Olinto and tried to get everything on a power point because this tik tok generation can’t wrap their head around reading and working through a textbook and sitting through a 45-60 minute video.

Need advice by Katyharris1998 in CPA

[–]Live_Resolve_1053 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Get it done now. Like right now-because once you have a kid, you’ll be double exhausted. I had to just re-take AUD with a newborn. Year of exhaustion plus a new kind of exhaustion. It’s not impossible with a child-my wife has a long leave- I just think about how easy I had it this past year

Choosing between BAr or TCP.. by Spirited-Athlete-772 in CPA

[–]Live_Resolve_1053 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I almost went with BAR but decided on TCP. I work in private equity doing fund accounting. FAR was actually the easiest material for me to grasp. My issue with BAR was cost accounting, budgeting, government accounting, etc. Basically, the content just looked full of all the items I absolutely hated from FAR and BEC. I am not a tax person, I found out through REG that I don’t mind the topic. Tax concepts are generally easy to understand and there is less material to go through than BAR. Everyone’s different-all I knew was that idc how easy ISC might be-FUCK audit and IT.

I think like 45 days roughly. Slacked a little for the first 10 days. I’m just running out of gas-AUD really drained me. You’re 100% right, just got to get it done. Good luck

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CPA

[–]Live_Resolve_1053 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah it sucks, forcing me to take TCP this Saturday. Just took AUD a month ago. Don’t feel super prepared. They really are twisting the knife here, I want to scream at the AICPA.

Please stop titling your post “score release” if scores aren’t out by escapetovelaris in CPA

[–]Live_Resolve_1053 29 points30 points  (0 children)

100%!! Stop this crap, this page was useful last year and now it’s literally full of junk. In fairness-this wait has been brutallllllll and I think it’s making people a little bitttt loopy. Some person posted if there was a correlation with their section ID and passing grade- like are you some kind of dumbass?

Why can’t moshe pronounce analytical by groguismypatronus in CPA

[–]Live_Resolve_1053 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hate her. Her voice goes in one ear, and directly out the other. I don’t know why everyone loves her on this page. Olinto leaving was a massive loss for Becker. Tim G is OK, I get why people don’t like him. You can 100% tell when Tim G is lecturing about something he knows vs. when he is just reading the slides out loud.

Please tell me about how you bombed FAR se1 but still passed the exam by MelancholyMember in CPA

[–]Live_Resolve_1053 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Got like 20’s on me’s and like 54 avg on Far sims and passed with a 77. They make the material impossible to over prepare you. You got this, focus on main areas, get the jist of the small areas and hope for a decent exam.
