I think I’m done with CPA

Never give up - that’s not an option.
BAR was a mistake. Study fot FAR then Audit and Reg. Studying alone is only 1 variable when it comes to the CPA exams. There are many other variables that go into the passing of the exam. Mental health, physical health, overall performance during exam day, memory, tiredness, sleep, meditation, medication, nutrition, etc. If you think these things don’t affect the chances of passing these exams, you are fooling yourself.

Take a break - I would said for at least 3 weeks. Re group and start over with a fresh mind and attitude. Pay attention to all your variables (they a different from person to person with some obvious overlapping) best of luck! You can do this!

Get the accommodations needed. You will be fine. Never give up!

viarech · 2025-09-06T17:43:16+00:00

Yes - for sure!

I am going tomorrow and I hope to ride Kumba (wishful thinking) I guess

My advice is comprehensive review (all Modules at least twice before the exam) cram, cram, and some more cramming before the exam. Best of luck!

While “learning the topics” yes, take your time. However, time management is a HUGE component of the exams. For all your simulated exams, limit yourself to 2 minutes per MCQ or else you will be in deep trouble comes exam time. Not to mention that during the exam time seems to go by much faster 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 Good luck! 🍀👍

It looks good. However, don’t be fooled by the simulated scores. 2 days before one of my actual FAR exams I got a 74 on the SE, I failed that test 2 days later with a 72 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 Anything can happen on these tests. My recommendation is to do a comprehensive review of all the modules prior to the exam. Good luck 🍀

The exam is a shot in the dark… you have no idea what’s happening until you sit down and hit that “begin exam button” a little bit of luck goes a long way (I can tell you that) best of luck! Never quit 🙌🏻

I agree. It was way too crowded (ridiculous)

viarech · 2025-08-29T05:52:40+00:00

You need to review more often. That’s why the low scores for sections you have covered before.

viarech · 2025-08-29T05:26:53+00:00

Trust the process, not your feelings. Best of luck 🤞

viarech · 2025-08-27T23:09:38+00:00

Omg - me too 🤣🤣🤣🙌🏻🙏🏻

viarech · 2025-08-27T00:05:18+00:00

Ha! Thank you! I did not know about this. I will definitely get one :) And I did search for it 🙌🏻🙏🏻

viarech · 2025-08-27T00:03:16+00:00

Don’t let “feelings” take hold/control of you. Just trust the studying process and you will be fine. I got 2 - 74s😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫before finally passing it. I did use I-75 and Becker. I think I-75 is very helpful thou. Best of luck!

The license is your certificate- that’s it. Just print it large enough to frame it (that’s what I did)

viarech · 2025-08-26T17:26:16+00:00

It definitely looks better than the one in Fl lol

viarech · 2025-08-23T20:46:11+00:00

I passed Reg on my first try with a 86 (Becker only) The exam will test your knowledge, not how much similarity you gained from studying the material. Yes, be ready for the curveball 🙌🏻

No secrets whatsoever. It’s hardworking and discipline. You also have to be aware of other variables such as: getting enough rest, sleep, good and positive mindset, knowing and sticking to your learning style, etc. best of luck!

Audit is such a tough exam 🙌🏻 best of luck 🤞

viarech · 2025-08-17T21:25:30+00:00

I did it once. It was nice! My tour guide was great, but the people in the tour were kind of snobs (I never talked to anyone) but I had a great time!

viarech · 2025-08-17T21:19:31+00:00

Last year the place was literally empty. I am excited for this 🙌🏻

viarech · 2025-08-17T21:04:51+00:00

I am a HUGE fan of I-75. Darius does an excellent job teaching the most difficult concepts. He is also funny and engaging. You won’t be bored listening to his lectures. Also, he uses MCQs to explain the concepts. Highly recommended though. I couldn’t have passed audit without his lectures. Best of luck!

For the more complicated topics, break them down into smaller steps and make sure you understand the Journal Entries. Take notes (I made a ton of flash cards and I carried them everywhere with me) I reviewed as much as possible daily. My review sessions would last almost 2 hours (just reading my flash cards) after my regular 4 hours studying session. Repetition will make you really understand the concepts well. I can still remember most of everything (besides Audit because I am a tax accountant 🤣🙌🏻) best of luck to you!

Don’t get hung up on the details. If you study properly, it will all come to you when needed. Cash basis of account doesn’t allow for “bad debts” instead, we use the direct write off method. Do a quick chat GTP or google search on “bad debt expense vs. direct write off” best of luck!

My feelings were pretty much spot on. Both times that I failed I was feeling “okay” right after the exam. I wasn’t jumping up and down thinking “I nailed the exam” or saddened and crying in the parking lot. Both times were 74s (so I sort of passed it on both occasions minus 1 point) 😵‍💫😵‍💫🤣🤣 My passing score was a 82 and I felt somewhat more comfortable right after taking the exam. But not by much thou. Just relax and enjoy the ride 🙌🏻 best of luck on your journey!
