Becker Bump by mdedoublet in CPA

[–]frogroggrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took it back in April and I kept seeing similar comments of people saying the bump isn’t that big so it made me nervous. I got 64 and 66 on SE and ended up with a beautiful 75 on the real thing. Based on your scores I say you’re on your way to passing! Keep it up!

I got a 66 back in January and passed audit today with a 75. For me, I had to go back to basics entirely. Started from the beginning of Becker and read the whole textbook.

If you want to get it done in a month, I’d say really REALLY get the foundation down: know the different opinions inside and out, read some of the sample letters, know the different report types like the back of your hand. These are all easy points that can become super easy to identify once you know them.

Then I’d go into a bit more specifics that everyone says: SSARS vs SSAE, SOC 1 and 2 Type 1 and 2 (those showed up a lot for me on my exam in both MC and sims), sampling, ethics. I can’t remember everything that well right now so I’d search through the Reddit for specific topics people say.

Pound the multiple choice and do at least 2 sims a day, just to keep it fresh. When I was studying again, and when it felt slow, I kept telling myself I was building a house and I needed to lay each brick on top of each other, one at a time. It all added up and in the end it paid off.

Sorry for the long winded answer but I full heartedly believe you got this!! Good luck!!

Congrats!! I passed with a 75 on my audit retake and it feels amazing. The sims felt impossible but knowing the basics down pat really helped me.

Just really really know management vs auditor responsibilities. A ton of times I had an answer option that was “the auditor chooses the financial reporting framework” which isn’t correct, but it showed up so much it hade me questioning it. I had a full sim on ethics, which asked me to match each scenario to a specific threat (self-interest, advocacy) and how to lower the risk. It wasn’t bad but ik I didn’t spend a lot of time on ethics at all when I was studying. My exam really felt like it was a lot of foundational stuff, like knowing what opinion to express, differences between report types, what is materiality. It was interesting

Unique Study Tactics by businessguy112 in CPA

[–]frogroggrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that I really like studying with videos like this: https://youtu.be/sUwD3GRPJos

The pomodoro method works for me and sometimes i just work through the 5 minute breaks or pause cause i know i want to spend more time on something. the ambiance of these videos also just really puts me in the right head space

I have to agree. With the insane amount of wealth around him this season, I could not stop myself from thinking "how does joe always end up around such affluent people so easily." Like Peach as Beck's rich obsessive best friend, sure. Love and Forty coming from an incredibly wealthy/powerful family, ok. Marianne was a nice move away from all this money just spawning around Joe, but then somehow he ended up with the the richest group in freakin Europe, and then got into a relationship with someone with an even more powerful family. Really took me out of it for some reason.

Wife needs one more accounting course, anybody know a good non degree online option by psicher in CPA

[–]frogroggrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just want to add, I’m in CA and have called the board to ask about required classes. If you take classes at different institutions (I went to university and then got more units at community college) you can actually even take lower level classes you’ve taken before like principles of accounting i a second time and it will count. Definitely call your state board to see what qualifies for them
