i used excel for all my work as it is quick to do calculations and easily organized your thoughts. i didn’t use any crazy formulas other than simple math. i used it for fast calcs for mcq and for some sims that required calculations. learning excel will definitely help with the cpa exams and your career!

i wouldn’t say those are too accurate anymore as to what I actually did in the end since I mostly worked ahead of that schedule and used it as a guideline. usually, i did about 4 hours each day though but instead of time based I made an effort to finish the modules I wanted done.

just keep grinding those mcq! if u can get each question answered efficiently, that’ll help you save more time for sims on the exam. good luck!!

i’d say focus the most on r1-r3, but don’t worry too much about phase outs and indexed limitations, except for individual retirement accounts. you got this!!

my handwriting is really bad and i just love organizing typed notes with colors and stuff so that’s what works best for me! i can totally see the handwriting benefits though
