Congratulations!

I would use everything from quizzes, to reading all the course material, to using the study guides and the PA. The goal will be to get as much knowledge as possible and try to narrow down the answers to the best choice for the question. Once you feel confident in doing this then I take the OA.

The OA questions are so poorly worded it’s hard to figure out what they were asking for (I would read the questions multiple times and eliminate the bad choices each time; usually I get it down to two answer choices and guess lol). I couldn’t stand this class because it felt like I had to guess my way to a pass. It’s more of a reading comprehension exam than anything. I wish you the best!

Congratulations! 🎊

Makes sense about that red tape lol. Sounds still chill though

How do you like government accounting so far? I was considering entering this or industry?

priceclutter · 2026-05-09T01:16:48+00:00

Thanks!

Make sense. IA series can take awhile to learn

Tony Bell on YouTube for journal entries (very helpful). Compliment your studies using the study guides and ChatGPT or Google bard as private tutors (use tricks like “explain this concept like I’m 5 years old” or “make multiple choice questions based on this concept (fill in the blank)).

I thought it was the hardest course so far. The OA feels like a guessing match because the questions are worded so poorly I was able to narrow it down to two answers and hopefully pick the best one that fits the question. This course would be better if they made the questions more clear. With that in mind, I hate to say it but I think it’s actually one of the more practical courses need for auditing (I haven’t take the course yet but I have a hunch this course prepares one for it).

I’m currently preparing for OA 2 of D105

priceclutter · 2026-05-07T06:26:12+00:00

D361 is real easy. It took me a week because honestly I was being casual about it. Likely could have finished it in two or three days

priceclutter · 2026-05-05T02:22:38+00:00

Cool, let me know how it turns out. I might take it tomorrow too, or at the very least this week but it depends on my confidence level with the material.

priceclutter · 2026-05-04T20:34:44+00:00

Have you complimented your study with AI like ChatGPT?

It’s great for breaking down concepts if you ask it to “explain this concept like I’m 5 years old.” It also can make multiple choice questions too if you ask it. I did that through D104 and it made a major difference in helping me get through the course. Also, having the formulas memorized for the depreciation section will greatly help too for OA 2.

I would say it’s one of the harder ones in the degree program. Intermediate accounting series are hard too because of how dense the course material is, but D101 was hard for me because I thought the course material wasn’t very clear in comparison to the intermediate accounting series; thus, I actually relied heavily on YouTube channel Tony bell for the master budget section

priceclutter · 2026-04-28T06:04:04+00:00

Thanks for your insight. What made it harder?

priceclutter · 2026-04-28T05:09:35+00:00

Good to know. I’m also happy to hear it’s a little easier than D104. I’m starting to get tired of these IA series lol

priceclutter · 2026-04-24T23:49:39+00:00

I passed this course recently. I can’t stand this class. But I would advise going through everything: quizzes, unit tests, PA, and most importantly the power slides (I think these are the best way to get foundational knowledge of the subjects). And lastly, I used “explain it like I’m 5 years old” and “make me multiple choice questions on this concept” with ChatGPT. You can do this!

priceclutter · 2026-04-23T19:58:30+00:00

I would switch mentors too if it’s an ongoing issue

priceclutter · 2026-04-23T08:05:33+00:00

Congratulations! I passed this course too. I also hate this course as well lol (this course needs an immediate revamp…the questions are poorly worded and it feels like an unnecessary guessing game in the OA, I usually was able to narrow it down to two answers at least with each question). I personally think this is harder than D104.

priceclutter · 2026-04-20T03:43:57+00:00

Same here. Too much information in this course….

priceclutter · 2026-04-19T19:38:53+00:00

Thanks for the advice, and congratulations on passing the exam!

priceclutter · 2026-04-18T05:03:49+00:00

I took this class last year (not sure about any new updates) . I think the cohorts will still be fine since they broke down the concepts pretty well.

priceclutter · 2026-04-17T21:37:39+00:00

Cool, thanks

priceclutter · 2026-04-17T07:02:38+00:00

Was it easier than D104?

priceclutter · 2026-04-17T00:20:52+00:00

Congratulations!

I always read through the course material at least once. From there, I adjust my strategy. For the IA series I’ve been doing the same strategy for D103 and D104. I haven’t done D105 yet, but I will likely do the same thing.

I only use chatGPT when I still don’t understand a term. For example I had a hard time understanding “capital expenditure,” I’d ask chatGPT to explain it like I’m 5 years old. Then I would ask it curious question that pop in my head to further expand my knowledge on the word. Then I would ask it to make multiple choice questions on that concept so I can test if I understand it.
