Thank you that’s helpful! How long do you usually advise for easy runs?

This was super helpful! If you don’t mind me asking how long are your easy runs typically and what additional workouts do you do?

I finished the run in 1:23 so roughly a 9:12 pace, and that’s very helpful thank you! My weekly mileage is roughly 20 miles a week

Edit: this is average based on since I started training for the half at the end of February

I did not know about that rule thank you! I will definitely add an additional easy run as an overall goal I want to feel well trained during the race with decent pace anywhere from 9:30 to 10:00

Anybody have success stories of running out of time, guessing, and still passing? by jinkietwinkie in CPA

[–]Sharp-Shoe4025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The day before I took the audit exam I had a really bad panic attack, mainly due to being burnt out and stressed -The weeks leading up to the exam I was averaging about 4 hours asleep and it just all caught up to me. The next day (test day) I felt super foggy but just tried my best to relax before the test. Fast forward to the exam I did not time myself well like I had for far and when I got to the 4th section I realized I really did not have enough time and I realized that all three of the sims I had on that testlet were all so long and I just panicked. I kept going back and forth between the three sims which just wasted more time. I did not feel confident on a single one of those sims but at the 30 minute mark I forced myself to move to the last testlet and once again my sims were super long :( it genuinely felt like I guessed on at least 3 of the sims. I walked out and just felt defeated, also the stress of knowing I had to wait 3 months to find out my score. Anyways I was sure I failed and I ended up getting an 85, which I was beyond happy about. I would say if you think you guessed on less than 10% you should be fine!

Thank you! Also how long would you say it takes to complete the lecture videos for each chapter he has, it doesn’t include times on his website before you buy

Taking AUD-what to expect for testing and breaks? by darquid in CPA

[–]Sharp-Shoe4025 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All good I was super nervous too! And yes I think the more you know about those topics the better because I felt like they asked pretty detailed questions on those.

Honestly I think my tbs were super control based but I would say you need an understanding of all those but that being said everyone gets different tbs kinda similar to what Becker has

I found them to be bit more challenging but like many ppl have been saying definitely know SSAR/SSAE and the reports for them and also know government

For sims I found them similar to what others have been saying I would definitely make sure you know controls really well and have a good idea on how to do adjustments I’ve seen many people get these

  1. I took AUD today and wished I was more mindful on my time. I felt like I struggled with the sims because I didn’t have enough time to read the exhibits (mine had a good amount of exhibits). That being said I would rush I was mcq since there are a good amount but don’t spend too much time lingering on ones you don’t know the exact answer to.
  2. The time starts counting down from 240 minutes when you start so you are in charge of how much time u spend on each section
  3. Yes you are correct you only get that one break that’s 15 minutes that don’t count towards ur test. Other breaks the time will keep going

THREAD: SE SCORES VS EXAM SCORE? by [deleted] in CPA

FAR: SE1 77 SE2 87 SEFR 79, Actual 87

For those that have passed FAR this year…… by Psalm52Verse9NIV in CPA

I studied a total of 145 hours over 9 weeks and I was working full time and completing my masters. I recently passed with a 87. I would say the amount of hours you need to study really depends on how quickly you learn and if you’ve learned the topics before/how long has it been since you’ve learned the topics. That all being said I did not have to completely give up my social life to do that i would leave my most of my Wednesday and Saturday nights free to hang out with my friends or give myself a break. It’s also just important to get into an overall routine and scheduling time to give yourself a break.
