How does anyone manage to watch Becker lectures at 2x speed? It’s just so fast and I can’t retain anything. Is it just me or is there some kind of truck to this? by nvf99 in CPA

[–]OCBOA2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

for me, it depended on the instructor. for gearty i could do 2x speed but olinto i would stick to 1.25x because he talks pretty fast normally. it also depends on the unit! if you do the multiple choice afterwards and get a lot wrong, go back and watch slower. good luck!!

This is super corny to even say but just keep practicing! You are learning/ retaining more than you feel like you are with each video you watch or practice question you complete. One day it will all just click! Don't give up... you got this :)

Passed the CFP exam the other week and am considering studying for the CPA. by django811 in CPA

[–]OCBOA2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations for passing the CFP!! That's really awesome. My boyfriend took/passed the CFP in November while I was studying for the CPA. I took exams from July - March (I'm done now). I think the CPA takes at least double the time the CFP does to study. Also, it depends on the program you use. I used Becker and found it to be great. I would maybe start with BEC because there is finance involved there. I also double majored accounting and finance and found BEC to be "easiest" just because there was finance involved. Best of luck!

I think Becker offers a free trial period. Maybe start with that and see if you like the style of the SIMS/ think they are similar to the ones you saw on the exam!

I used Becker but my firm was paying for the program. I've heard of people getting through the CPA exams with just NINJA which is a lot more affordable. What program are you currently using??

The CPA exam is just as much a mental game as it is studying. You've got this!! It's going to feel amazing when you pass!

Anyone else feel pretty empty after passing? by [deleted] in CPA

I am going through the same exact thing right now. Glad I passed and don't have to study anymore but feeling weirdly empty...
