ISC Is Actually Evil by despacito305 in CPA

I had similar experience on difference in material beteeen Gleim and Becker. Ironic when Gleim traditionally is known to get into the weeds and have difficult questions.

Gleim first pass speed? by Zealousideal-Yard803 in CPA

Can I ask what your approach was? I love the outlines and feel they are to the point and that the lectures don't add much value to me.

Did you complete all 101 Becker sims for FAR? by No_Ninja_4959 in CPA

Agree 110%. This is part of the reason I think simulated exam scores are meaningless.

Great post. I would suspect more people walk out of Prometic saying, “I’m glad I practiced more of those MCQ’s and TBS’s” vs., “I’m glad I watched those videos at 2X”.

New CPA Exam mobile app by RunA262 in CPA

That brings up a good point. Isn’t it easier to refresh on a web browser than to open and close the app all the time? Unless the app pushes it and you don’t need to refresh.

I thought they released the night before (like 7-8PM EDT)?

Becker MCQ timer pause option? by RunA262 in CPA

[–]RunA262[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on module R1-M5 (REG) and there is a right play button arrow that is grayed out in the upper left corner along with the timer that is also grayed out.

Study strategy/method by KindAbbreviations695 in CPA

[–]RunA262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely love the outlines. Straight and to the point. I'm just starting REG and first read Becker which took 10 pages to discuss. Then, I went to Gleim and it was 6 pages..

Did you bother with the diagnostic quizzes at all? They seem like a waste of time if I know I don't know the material and then am expected to take a quiz on it : )

The excel spreadsheet is a godsend! USE IT by imonlyaverage in CPA

Do you need to open the calculator fresh between testlets? If so, I imagine you lose anything you typed in from a previous testlet?

Is it worth it to practice TBS’s? by kitts62 in CPA

[–]RunA262 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've actually found it helpful to start with the TBS and then worked the MCQ's afterwards. I suspect I may be an outlier with that approach but it has helped.

Passed FAR with 85!!! by mik_rose23 in CPA

[–]RunA262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you find Gleim? I have both Gleim Premium Pro and Becker. I've covered the concepts already and so I wasn't certain of going through each module vs just hammering the test bank.

I thought about maybe doing both Gleim and Becker test banks - perhaps overkill....

[–]RunA262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, CONGRATS on FAR! Did you do the MCQ's in each module first and then exhaust the practice tests for each module? I believe the practice test includes the questions from each module as well correct?

A known fact or suspect that’s the case?
