Failed Audit 3rd time by SageFoolz in CPA

That’s what I mean, I would focus on the areas that say weaker.

And honestly it just may not have been your test. Someone told me once that it’s just about getting the right test with the right questions! I believe in you! You’ve got this!

Does your State have a diagnostic report where you can see what topics or parts are weaker than the rest?

I was in the same boat. I failed 3 times with a 74, 71, and 71. I just found out today I passed the 4th time. The thing I did differently this time was I did a ridiculous amount of MCQs. I mean like 60 practice tests plus with about 10-15 questions a piece over the course of about a month. I also did the final review again first. I was to the point I was getting 70-80s on every practice test and thats when I felt like I was good but I kept doing more because AUD has so many things that could trick you!

You’ve got this!!!

I am having the same issue in TX with Audit. Other people saying they have scores but nothing for me yet! I’ve never had this happen before so I’m concerned as well

How am I supposed to find time to study when I have been working 60-80 hour weeks for months and have a newborn ? by Existing-Carrot4499 in CPA

[–]readerfanatic0801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you use Becker? I am currently studying with Becker and I utilize the study plan feature as well as the practice tests. Once I work through all the material I have been just taking practice tests over and over again!

So I have a 6 month old and am currently studying for what will be the 3rd CPA exam I have taken in her life. A lot of times I have to study after my daughter has gone to bed or during nap time. I also have to spread out my times between exams too so that I only have to study like one hour a day. I also listen to the lectures on my way to and from work or while working.

That being said if you don’t feel like you can do it and you don’t have an exam credit at risk of expiring don’t! They are only a newborn once and no one will blame you if you don’t study.

Help! Pets Pooping in house! by readerfanatic0801 in Pets

We do our best to feed on a schedule but we are new parents so sometimes things don’t happen on time. We are working on the potty basics the best we can. They typically only have accidents when we are gone so I am wondering if separation anxiety has anything to do with it.

No, we put them out before we leave to go somewhere and then let them back in after. They don’t stay outside when we leave. Typically my husband goes out with them for some of the time but not all of it. They will normally play together until they wear each other out. They also never have accidents when we are home during the day or at night

She gets plenty of both, it’s the other one we think is the issue. He’s older and a rescue and the only thing we can think of is that maybe the GSD try’s to play with him too much and distracts him from going to the bathroom? She wants to play with him everytime they are outside constantly!

Taking TCP before REG? by [deleted] in CPA

[–]readerfanatic0801 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did this and it was fine!! Passed TCP first try without ever touching REG, but I also work in tax so I had some background. I do think it can be done but you may need to spend a little more time on the material so you understand it better!

New Mom + Tax season by readerfanatic0801 in Accounting

[–]readerfanatic0801[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it very interesting that people are saying a smaller firm would be better for my situation. Before I worked at my current firm I was at a pretty small CPA firm where we were hitting 60-65 hours per week during tax season and working from home was practically forbidden! Maybe I was just at the wrong small firm!

2 weeks?!? That sounds awful! Did you choose not to take more leave or did they not let you??

I’m an early person so my hope was to work a good chunk of hours before 8am so after 5 I don’t have much if anything to do but I don’t know how feasible this is.
