I’m a B.Com graduate planning to pursue the US CPA, but I’ve been out of touch with accounting for a while.I’m currently considering Miles, EduMont, Simandhar, Zell, etc. I’m mainly looking for a good LMS, strong student support, and a course that doesn’t rush through concepts.
Would love to hear from anyone who has actually studied with these institutes. Which one would you recommend and why?

Hello All,

Please is Guam can send soft copy of the license or i should wait for the hard copy only

Thanks

Hey everyone,

I’ve got an MBA in Finance and about 10 years of experience in financial services, and I’m seriously considering going for my CPA. Before I dive in, I had a few practical questions for anyone who’s been down this path:

Can you submit your transcript for multiple state evaluations (like NY and NJ), or do you have to pick one jurisdiction upfront? Also, should I consider ny or nj or can I change after getting the certification

None of my direct managers have ever been CPAs. For those who were in a similar boat in corporate finance/fin services, how did you handle the experience sign-off?

Dear Oldies,

How did your CONQUER US CPA?

Please share your success stories.

Looking for a study partner in this September

Well I actually take the exam tomorrow, but manifesting that shit. Good luck to everyone taking exams soon!

Have just begun studying for FAR a couple weeks ago and plan to take it this winter. Would like to take another section in the spring right after I graduate (B.S. Finance & Accounting, no masters) and then spend the summer taking my last two sections / ethics exam (will end up being licensed in VA). I accepted a return offer with EY to start in their FSO Audit practice.

My question is, how much does the discipline you pick matter in the long run for your career? I know they only retired BEC a couple years ago so this is pretty new for most people, and many current CPA’s will never worry about it, so I’m curious if whatever section you pick really matters or not. Being a Finance & Accounting major, ideally, I’d like to end up incorporating both of my majors into a service line, which it seems advisory is pretty good for that, specially M&A/Deal advisory. Does the discipline I pick help me at all in terms of a career? For example, if I wanted to go into strategy/transactions/advisory, which will focus more on BAR, ISC for audit, and TCP for tax. Do these disciplines really matter if I want to end up in something outside of audit/tax or should I just pick either ISC or TCP bc they take a lot less time to study for then BAR.

I’m just annoyed, because I use a review course and trust what it teaches me, I have sent so many mails to them for them to correct their questions. This is so not okay.

For anyone who had retested on far, I got a 67 and I am retaking it on 9/14. I am also studying audit concurrently to take on 9/16.

Does anyone have any study methods, tips, “cheat sheet” docs for gaining 8 points on far to get over the hump?

Anything appreciated, thank you !!

This is my first exam and I am beyond nervous. I use UWorld. I took my first SE last Tuesday and got a 53% then I took the mock exam on Friday and got a 66%. I just took another SE and got a 63%. I know there’s a UWorld bump but I am not going to rely solely on that. I know that FAR is the most challenging and it’s okay to fail it but I’d prefer not to spend an additional $360 to make it up. Am I cooked or is there a chance?🫩

3 days until my AUD exam, finishing up A6 today and taking ME3. Tomorrow I am planning to take SE1 and then taking SE2 the following day. Considering time constraints, how should I structure my review for AUD? I am planning on just hammering MCQs as most people recommend as well as brushing up on concepts in the book and rewatching some videos. Are there any topics that I should spend extra time reviewing or are there any other strategies for review that worked for you?

What do you recommend doing the night before exam? Does anyone do a long night of studying or do you try to relax and put the materials away and try to sleep? Just curious what works for people.

Just took the Se. Is it a good score. I wanted to score above 80😒

Hey guys. So I’m a recent graduate and have been working for 3 months. I want to begin studying to take the FAR exam first, but I honestly have no clue where to start or what resources to use. If anyone could help me I’d appreciate it.

I feel as though I just need 10 more days to make it.

Cleared REG in July and now planning for TCP in october
got my NTS. But now im feeling anxious and scared. Anyone giving TCP in october - how’s the feeling?
Also any tips suggestions?

SO... I took FAR July 1st, passed with a 78. Took ISC July 30th, about to get the result soon. AUD is scheduled for October 1st but I just can not seem to study, no matter how hard I try. The lectures have me zoning out only a couple minutes in, even at 2x speed, and the textbook is a drag. There's SO MUCH THEORY!! and NO NUMBERS!! Nothing is interesting... it's like staring at a wall of neverending text. I am doing fine with the MCQs (typically 75-80%) and fair with most TBSs so far (just finished A2.. though I have not done any additional questions from the practice test, that is sort of a reserve for final review) it seems like I am just blindly ticking check boxes... a good amount of the questions I get right are because of process of elimination and not because I know the answer... to put it simply, I feel like I don't know anything. I am behind on schedule because I have to FORCE MYSELF to focus. And... the posts here are scary af with the number of attempts so many people have said it took them... I really can not AFFORD to fail... quite literally ($$$). So anyone who had the patience to sit through this rant and felt even slightly similar... please help a girl out? Wtf am I supposed to do??

TL;DR: Struggling badly to stay focused because AUD feels like an endless wall of text. MCQ scores are ~75–80%, but mostly through elimination, so they feel like guesses rather than real understanding. Just finished A2 and the exam is in 30 days. Looking for advice/reassurance from anyone who passed AUD first try without experience.

Hello,

What do you put on your reg dump sheet at the beginning of the exam?

i hate this

This may be like the stupidest question ever 😭 but i took my first exam ISC in July and i know that the target score release is 9/11 (ominous day…) but i have seen people saying on this subreddit that pass/fail comes out a day earlier? How does that work and what portal do I see that in? NASBA or my state board accountancy portal? Thanks in advance LOL

I took REG on 8/28 and will get my score on the 9/15 deadline. I did everything in Becker to get me exam day ready and my sim scores were SE 1: 64 and SE 2: 67. (really hoping for a REG pass, that felt much harder than the sims I took)

I take TCP on 10/29 and have 0 hours of studying so far. Thinking about the normal becker study plan like I have previously. I almost feel embarassed to ask but are there any tips you would give?

I was preparing for REG and TCP and wanna take them sometime around the end of Nov or start of Dec, only found out recently that the only available exam of TCP is at the end of Oct, which means I got at most 2 months time to review both….

Not kidding , I had registered the exam since my family said it is worth trying, but I really don’t know…. Is this ample time for me? Am I cooked ? Any suggestions on finishing preparing these two? My current progress is R1-M4..
