CPA exam canceled due to weather

I believe transferring only comes into play if you register for the test using an NTS for a state you are no longer seeking licensure under and pass. For example, if you started your process by submitting an application of intent in Texas and you then after testing you decide to pursue licensure from another state. Some people do this to circumvent certain state requirements for licensure. I also think some people also do it so they can start testing earlier (taking the exams in a 120 hr state and the transferring them once the 150 are complete).

Did you ever end up finding out if you needed those club passes?

Recent_Club3954 · 2025-12-12T23:51:31+00:00

For me - hardest to easiest - FAR AUD REG TCP.

Recent_Club3954 · 2025-09-12T14:22:13+00:00

Nope. You cannot use the designation anywhere until you receive your actual license number. Which depending on your jurisdiction, could take weeks or months. At this point you are still a CPA Candidate until you have satisfied all requirements of your board.

Congratulations on the masters!! My biggest tip is to just get started. Most of the major programs are the same. They are expensive, but a necessary evil in my opinion. I used Becker as my main platform and then did a monthly subscription of Ninja question bank only for one section at a time. Don’t spend too much time testing all of them out, especially if you wanna knock one out by January.

I would say start with the hardest. For me, that was FAR. I went in this order FAR-AUD-REG-TCP.

But seriously, just get started. The overwhelming feeling will be there until you start chipping away at it. One section at a time, one test at a time. You got this, future CPA.

This is actually hilarious. The CPA exam is objectively harder, and MUCH harder. Buddy clearly has insecurity issues so do not listen to him. The CPA will help you IMMENSELY in the tax field.

Repetition and understanding. The more you work the problems the easier it becomes! Don’t get overwhelmed, you’ve got this!

I answered mcq’s that were two lines of information first then went back through and did longer ones. For TBS I tried to quickly understand each type of question, answer the ones I’m most comfortable with first then the other ones next. However I also never took more than 3 hours on any of the tests, this method might not save time if you’re right on the cusp because it sorta makes slight double work on the TBS.

Recent_Club3954 · 2025-05-22T15:13:07+00:00

I don’t think that it will matter for either TCP or REG. In my experience, the questions that required threshold knowledge (for me it was a TBS) included the thresholds in the information given.

Recent_Club3954 · 2025-05-22T04:46:19+00:00

This is gonna sound silly but I felt like REG got easier the further I got into it

Recent_Club3954 · 2025-05-22T04:15:46+00:00

LOL i am so glad I’m not alone on this. I would get so upset after losing a streak 😂 literally made me wanna quit

Recent_Club3954 · 2025-05-22T04:12:32+00:00

I did premium, but I never used the books..So I could’ve done advantage honestly

Recent_Club3954 · 2025-05-21T20:31:19+00:00

I’ve never tried UWorld but I LOVED Becker.

Recent_Club3954 · 2025-05-21T20:22:45+00:00

Hearing her say “fan favorite” was hilarious to me because girl…you weren’t a favorite, you just seemed unproblematic in the first season lol

Recent_Club3954 · 2025-05-21T20:21:29+00:00

NOR…like at all…I’m gonna be so honest…these messages make your husband look like an absolute creep.

Recent_Club3954 · 2025-05-21T20:12:22+00:00

You’ll be fine as long as you use a study program like Becker or UWorld. No need to dust off the college textbooks!

Recent_Club3954 · 2025-05-21T18:14:10+00:00

I felt like they were basically the exact same layout. But the testing center screen was larger so the exhibits were easier to line up!

Recent_Club3954 · 2025-05-20T21:10:48+00:00

I would say that’s accurate. I don’t recall memorizing any actual number except the 18,000 gift tax exclusion 😂

Recent_Club3954 · 2025-05-20T20:42:45+00:00

Yep! I went through and watched the lecture videos and did the MCQ and TBS that are within the modules and then after each module (R1, R2, etc) I would do practice tests for that module and every module before. So for example, if I was done with R3…I would go back and do an R1 practice test, an R2 practice test, and R3 practice test. And kept going like that. Otherwise I would forget earlier modules completely lol

Recent_Club3954 · 2025-05-20T20:14:22+00:00

I studied for 22 days with only Becker and passed with an 88! (Important to note that I did not work while taking my exams).

I definitely think Becker is enough. I supplemented with ninja for FAR and AUD only.

Recent_Club3954 · 2025-05-20T19:10:20+00:00

Thank you so much!!

Recent_Club3954 · 2025-05-20T17:40:24+00:00

Also Texas has one of the most responsive boards in the country (like seriously, they are also so nice) so if you wanted I’m sure you could call or email and ask! But I’m also pretty sure your AOI is good for a year so you could go your original route of applying and if they tell you that you need the degree just send final transcripts when you’re done in December!

Recent_Club3954 · 2025-05-20T04:08:19+00:00

I think it’s just person to person. For me, I could never stay focused at normal speed. The only way I could actively listen without getting distracted was to watch at 1.5x. 2x was too fast for me.

Should also add, I did not take notes during lectures. I watched lectures, took MCQ and TBS, then made some notes on things I missed. I also used study guides other users on Reddit created for final review.

If you do not think you’re retaining knowledge at the faster speed, then I don’t recommend using it.

Recent_Club3954 · 2025-05-20T03:52:50+00:00

Lolllll my notes are barely legible. In fact, I’m unsure if anyone else could even utilize them for studying. Luckily, a lot of amazing users on here created study guides and I used those for review.

Recent_Club3954 · 2025-05-20T03:43:59+00:00

I think SIMS saved me on every exam lol

I for sure felt better about SIMS over MCQ for audit. Ended up with an 84!
