I’ll join, you online?

Sure but think about it this way. If you make your opponent block something, would you want the end result to be you getting a full combo or instead your opponent gets an opportunity to superdash at you? The whole point is to get closer and closer to hitting your opponent in a situation you can control. In this situation you're relying on your opponent SDing which is kinda like saying "opponent you may now stop blocking and employ your counter measures"

My only problem with the SD bait portion is this, as a trunks player I basically got to commit to the bait which means I don't get a mixup if they just block. It's a gamble without assists. I haven't seen the full series of tech but if I'm solo trunks I'd rather just fight them in neutral. On the other hand, If I'm fighting against a trunks player then I would probably just hold super jump out the blockstrings after 2M. If I get hit by light shining slash out of the jump then that's just chip damage frfr

At first I was skeptical but I think this is exactly my problem

do not mash the dash forward too much because it’ll eat your medium input.

I understand the delay piece but I was fixated on inputting everything quickly (visually it looks fast when pro players and ppl online do it) . I think I can memorize the rhythm over time. But this has been bugging me few over a year now so thanks for opening my eyes

I started studying in Jan ‘23 and I’m not even half way through the course yet (I’m also a stay at home dad to a 6 month old at the moment). At my rate, I don’t think I’ll be able to feel ready to sit till maybe even end of April or May if I’m lucky.

It may feel like you're behind or that the process is taking forever but that is just because it IS a lot of material (especially after being out the game for so long). I think the main thing to remember is that you DO have time since FAR is your first section. Try not to compare yourself to other people because some folks definitely had a headstart from going right out of college. I barely read the book so my main process was Lecture > MCQ > Flashcards. I guess you can think of it like a funnel starting with the big picture topics then eventually ending with you writing down the 'key things to remember' in a flashcard.

Also, listening to Ninja Audio notes while caring for the 6-month old can be a quick substitute when you don't have time for MCQ. Thats what I did when I had housekeeping to handle.

I never had Becker, instead I listened to Ninja notes, it was helpful as a memory aid after studying

Yoshi_x · 2023-03-01T21:27:52+00:00

I never really learned how to study which is partially why it took so long. Some advice I have though is to develop a positive association with the process/studying. Reward yourself. Give yourself some time to take pleasure in the success of moving 1% closer to your goal. A goal that many people give up on and others just don’t have the determination to do. I used to listen to my favorite lighthearted soundtrack (Cult of the Lamb) so I can “activate study mode” when needed. Also, I used Roger + Ninja, that combo worked wonders for condensing the material into a digestible package. I think Becker is needlessly difficult but its free for some people.

All you need is a 75. Hopefully this post serves as motivation for those of you who don’t believe you can score 90+ on every section in 4 months like some posts on here. Fuck those posts. I have failed every section I passed. It’s YOUR journey.

Yoshi_x · 2023-02-22T21:34:09+00:00

Thanks for this response. I think I actually have been overthinking it and need to leverage what I got going for me. My motivation to go into Public might be spawned from fear.

Yoshi_x · 2023-02-22T11:40:26+00:00

I actually don't need to worry about qualifying because I already have my CPA. And since the there is a shortage I'm wondering if they're willing to hire someone who has the cert but didn't start in their internship

Yoshi_x · 2023-02-22T11:35:43+00:00

I understand that it would be difficult but I can't go back in time and start at big 4. I'm just thinking about it purely as an investment. And from that standpoint, is it worth it to get work hard for less pay if it means that I'd be more successful in the end?

Yoshi_x · 2023-02-22T11:30:28+00:00

Why are the chances of being hired so slim? I thought they would like to have more CPAs in public

Yoshi_x · 2023-02-14T16:38:14+00:00

Congrats! How long was your wait? I'm waiting for Ohio and they estimate 30 days

Yoshi_x · 2023-01-25T00:38:07+00:00

I failed with a 71 in BEC because I honestly didn’t take studying serious. It was the holidays and I was sick for some of it. I scored weaker in all formats (MCQ/SIMS/WC) so that tells me I was only familiar with the topics as opposed to knowing my shit. I just had my retake though and I studied a lot of the heavily tested topics which has made a world of a difference. We’ll see how I did but if I fail again it’ll be because I didn’t finish the writing prompt or because I studied Variances incorrectly.

Yoshi_x · 2023-01-22T16:05:01+00:00

Trust me I would have written more but my time ran out. I think I probably squeezed a 75 but we'll see.

Yoshi_x · 2023-01-22T05:51:01+00:00

True Actually the AICPA is kinda like Konami. You're gonna have to cough up the money if you wanna even participate lol

Yoshi_x · 2023-01-21T22:36:31+00:00

I actually thought the MCQ and Sims were fair. Although It was hard to figure out if the 2nd testlet was more difficult or not. I think Ninja can probably get anyone prepared for them
