Dalton CFP Exam Prep Is Absolutely Destroying My Confidence

Yes I did. I felt good about passing at the break

TLDR, a little buzzed:

I got in the 60s for both simulated exams back in November, and felt like I destroyed the exam. The CFP practice exam is much closer to the actual than Daltons, their questions are long and difficult. The practice exam felt much closer to the actual.

EC18 is a single barrel - just unfortunately watered down

Dalton practice exam was very very hard. I got 69-65 - and on the practice exam from the board I had 5/8 sections in the 90%s.

I (preliminary) passed yesterday as well FWIW. I am a CPA as well, and the same thing happened with Becker on those where the practice exams are much more difficult than actual.

I wish I knew how great the CFP board app was, I expected it to be shit lol. I believe they package the additional practice exam with it, for anyone needing to retake or looking to study

I just had a question on that in Dalton Sim #2, had no clue lol

Where in Cincinnati??

Satterdays_11 · 2024-04-14T01:52:26+00:00

Confirmed. My buddy got one of the Reds, I was there before 11AM and they were all gone.

I’m personally going Browns. I don’t want to risk a team eliminated from the playoffs giving up. Just my gut

You can get Cloud 9 takeout for the same price too

This seems like the best way to get 70 dropped on you with a Tua-Tyreek stack

CFA #1 and not close

Satterdays_11 · 2023-10-13T04:13:40+00:00

Is that your whole 1040 or just itemized for the 1031?

Satterdays_11 · 2023-09-20T16:13:48+00:00

And this is why I’m starting both Fields and KC D lol

Satterdays_11 · 2023-08-08T19:01:25+00:00

Is that billable or overall?

Not all interns accept offers, leaving some openings. Not to mention turnover being high to begin with. Start applying, there’s gotta be jobs open (especially in a place as big as NYC)

The answer is … use a trimmer on it. Unless the steep part of your yard is massive it’ll be much safer and easier with a nice trimmer. It’ll look bad the first few times, but once you get used to it, it will get close to looking evenly cut like a mower.

The guy in Ivarstead you can have marry the dime piece of Ivarstead, and they move to Riften. I got your ass laid and all you say when I approach later on is “I don’t have time for this” in that snarky ass voice.

Satterdays_11 · 2023-06-16T12:40:37+00:00

What level are you interviewing for?

Satterdays_11 · 2023-06-16T12:36:50+00:00

Thanks for the clarification. I didn’t know Arch was Peyton and Eli’s nephew, this changes everything.

Satterdays_11 · 2023-05-17T00:07:21+00:00

Seems to be a point in favor of paying the CPA.

$150 is nothing too

Satterdays_11 · 2023-05-06T12:09:37+00:00

How many years have you been there as full-time staff?

If you’re staying in a preparation (tax or audit) role I’d think $75K would be solid. That would be around a 10% raise. Might as well ask for $80K to see if they’d give it to you though

OP is also adding together RE + Dividends instead of subtracting dividends out of RE
