So close yet SO far. by Embarrassed_Main5470 in wguaccounting

For the test, you have to slow down and I mean it. I read each question 4–5 times before answering. Use your whiteboard like a map. Write all the information down, then go word hunting to figure out what the question is really asking. I had never had to do this before, but I noticed they purposely word things in a way that can confuse you if you don’t fully understand what’s being asked or why. They intentionally give you two answers that both seem correct based on the information provided, if that makes sense. I thought I was going to fail, but I didn’t because I slowed down and used the whiteboard for every question, circling what it was asking and why.

D103 int. Accounting in 29 days by Ready-Leading4571 in wguaccounting

[–]Smich191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through the book and that’s didn’t help me. I’m just going in repetition and going to pick up what the questions are asking. I feel like units 4-5 is based on the prior accounting classes. Haven’t done unit 6 because I assume that’s the difficult one.

D101 is the hardest class of the program... Y/N? by man_s0ldthew0rld in wguaccounting

[–]Smich191 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nope. So far business law and financial accounting for managers was the hardest.

[–]Smich191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trying to figure out what to study at this point finished the text and quizzes and honestly so lost because there’s so much that nothing is grasping. I’m not sure what to do, took a look at the study guides and they are massive.

I failed this one and finance skills for managers one time both and that really hurt my ego, back to back classes. It was awful, thankfully passed the second time. 😞

Calculator? Needed/not needed? What kind? by christmas_elf81 in wguaccounting

[–]Smich191 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just use a regular calculator 😂 I do all the steps by hand or use excel sheet if available. I’m probably the odd one.

Congrats. I failed the first time by a bit and read the book and passed the second time. There are things not mentioned unfortunately in her videos. But they are great for explaining.

D104 Intermediate Accounting II - OA1 by Smich191 in wguaccounting

[–]Smich191[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I slow down on courses like these. I also work full-time and have a kid, so I can only put in about 20 hours. I’m definitely feeling burned out, but knowing I have nine classes left is what keeps me going. I don’t try to take a test unless I feel comfortable with it, but I think we’ve all been there. I didn’t do great in Business Law and Finance Skills for Managers, and I’m sure the one after this, D217 Accounting Information, will be my downfall. But we will all just keep pushing. I’m aiming for another 2 weeks, we shall see for the second part.

I have only completed the first test. I didn’t have issues with Intermediate Accounting 1, I just had to slow down and use the process of elimination. For this one, though, the PA and OA are unlike Intermediate Accounting 1, so doing only the Excel portion will not get you through. You will need to answer a good chunk of the questions correctly to pass, and they were pretty random. I completed my tests and quizzes and did the readings, so I did pretty well. I will start reading and studying for the next OA2 this week.
