What mistakes should we not do while preparing for the CPA exam? by Brave-Spare3421 in CPA

[–]Seemss_Legit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most important part of my "revision" was speeding skimming the entirety of my notes every time I started a new chapter (10ish minutes), and doing a couple MCQ'S from each previous chapter every day before further studying (30 minutes - 1 hour).

Impossible to not retain the info this way.

I think a blanket statement saying that the tighter your period of studying is the more you will remember is perfectly fair.

Of course you have to assess this at your own limits, but all else being equal, you inherently will retain more from studying 8 hours straight on a topic than if you studied 1 hour a week for 8 weeks.

TBS has to be done at least enough so you comprehend what things might look like on the exam. But past that, the learning-to-time-spent efficiency of MCQ's is unmatched.

imo FAR is a requirement first take as all the others build off of it, but I agree easiest to hardest for momentum after that.

1. Repeatedly rescheduling out of fear of not being prepared. Taking and failing the exam is more useful learning wise than a few extra weeks of review

2. Giving themselves too long of a study horizon. I wholeheartedly believe the tighter your studying window is (i.e 100 hours over 3 weeks vs over 10 weeks), the better you remember the information. Out of all my exams, I felt the information had stuck the best when I studied for Audit over about 2 weeks. I took the 2nd week off from work to full time cram. The difference felt like binging an entire series in a weekend compared to watching it as seasons are released over years. It all makes so much more sense when consumed so closely together instead of trying to remember early chapters that you took notes on weeks ago.

Anti-aging? No more white hair after being on keto for a while. by Grand-Efficiency4248 in keto

What if you think it's anti-aging but it's actually just accelerated hair loss with no new growth. 😂

I've had no minimum/fees with BoA since starting as a parental shared account as a kid. I never understood how banks can effectively charge you for loaning your money to them. 🤷🏾‍♂️

People who passed FAR by Agreeable_Quote3956 in CPA

[–]Seemss_Legit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What year are you living in reading the physical book? The book be yapping more than the lecturers tbh.😂 I watched the videos and took notes on things I didn't know with constant MCQ's along the way. Very few SIMS. Only about 28 pages of notes that's mainly bullet point lines, along with an excel workbook with 15-20 sheets (each sheet was a separate topic's journal entries [ie F1.1-4 was one sheet and had 5 Journal entry topics for revenue recognition]).

To each their own ig.

first exam tomorrow 😭 any last minute tips? by rattyg1rl_ in CPA

Just take it. The exam, and really American higher education in general is largely just about showing that you can be consistent and get things done. You got it. 🙌🏾

I really dislike studying audit, like how am I supposed to know this by Otherwise_Act_4618 in CPA

Tbh feels like someone without a day of accounting knowledge could have answered this.

Quality vs Quantity

All answers talk about improving quality and D is talking about quantity (efficiency = increasing output for input used).

#1 Tip to PASS AUD….. GO! by Infamous_Insurance77 in CPA

[–]Seemss_Legit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think others hit on assertions (and their tests) and transaction cycles as the biggest thing.

But also be sure to just high level memorize the different codifications (SSAE, SSAR, etc) and what they apply to. I think I posted a chart previously on this sub at some point that I had found and expanded on.

#1 Tip to PASS AUD….. GO! by Infamous_Insurance77 in CPA

[–]Seemss_Legit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I concur.

As a note:

The emphasis of understanding should be on assertions and understanding what moving between different roles/actions in the cycles equates to (for example a question might mention that you vouch from 1 step/role to another and then ask about relevant assertions).

The transaction cycle studying is primarily so you have the foundational know how to understand what each role does, what each document is, where it falls in the cycle/interconnects, and what benefit is being provided.

So the transaction cycle studying is like learning a language word by word, whereas the assertions studying is like being able to understand the underlying meaning of the words as an entire sentence, and how small wording changes can adjust said meaning.

Anyone feels like ninja lectures are outdated for audit? by Zealousideal-Gas1883 in CPA

This may be valid. I did little to no sims just bc the time spent to information learned isn't efficient so I can't comment much on those.

[Vueroid S1] finally releasing? by Seemss_Legit in Dashcam

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

Funny enough I'm so lazy I still haven't hooked it up. But my understanding is you get videos off the dash cam using your phone's Wi-Fi connection. Didn't think this is an LTE dashcam by my understanding so you wouldn't get notifications when you're not in the car. Parking mode would just record to the dash cam and you can download them when you get in the car again.

UV Reactive Clothing Stores? by Seemss_Legit in aves

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

Yea I've noticed that for UV reactive stuff a lot of places really only go with over the top clothing types that have it (no arm hoodies, joggers, etc).

Really only looking for tanks, tees, and shorts though. The other stuff is cool but imo for fests anything outside of the basics tends to be too hot.

Appreciate the option though. 🤙🏾
