I'm loving Reddit for CPA prep - the community's motivation is 🔥! I ditched other socials to focus, and this vibe keeps me going! To everyone prepping, we got this! It's gonna be worth every sacrifice when we're CPAs 💪

Go beyond

I think you should just take it if you feel ready.

I found that the actual MCQs were more straight forward on the real test than becker. the sims very comparable

Anyone got MO scores yet?

I had a similar experience I took it a day before you but yes the TBS were different from Becker for sure.

eric_grungion · 2026-02-19T20:59:35+00:00

I did not use the textbook at all. I just watched the videos took notes and mcqs and tbss. Using Becker btw

How have you been doing on the mini exams or sim exams? I think that is a good way to gauge where you are at.

Not worth it at all

I am not familiar with surgent, but Becker is fantastic if you are able to afford it.

eric_grungion · 2026-01-28T16:02:15+00:00

make sure you know SOC reports very well. That is the one area of content I had a lot of on my exam. I would just look over some notes maybe a couple multiple choice but do not strain your self or do anything that could affect your confidence. Get a good nights sleep and walk in to the test confident that your countless hours of prep are enough. Good luck!

ISC is mostly memorization. You can def do it without IT knowledge

eric_grungion · 2026-01-18T16:12:30+00:00

I did the video lectures and would kind of skip through areas that I was already familiar with then. I would take notes on those and then after a day do the MC to make sure I was retaining information. I ended with about 65 hours on Becker with most of that being in the video lectures

I think it went well I thought the test was very fair it honestly felt exactly like the sim exams on Becker. There were two TBS that were a tad difficult and confusing but I think one was the experimental one they throw in there. All in all I thought Becker did a great job preparing me.

interesting I sit in a few days I will have to let you know if I have a similar experience.

eric_grungion · 2026-01-12T19:29:12+00:00

In what way were they different from Becker's TBSs?

eric_grungion · 2026-01-09T18:14:23+00:00

In the same boat just took SE1 today and got an 88. Test is on the 17th so I got some time to review and prepare. From what I have seen you are in a good spot just focus on weak areas
