CPA exam isn’t that hard. Most just don’t have the discipline to study.

Not arguing that. My man is just coming hot. I prefer to say “the CPA exam is more about determination and perseverance, than intelligence”.
Both are saying the same thing.

That's precisely what makes it difficult. It's 4 giant cramming tests that you need to pass in a certain amount of time. And people often try to pass it when they have other obligations like school, children, and/or or full time jobs.

Also likely many cheated through undergrad courses, so studying for the CPA exam was the first time they actually had to learn the material.

I know I wouldn’t want those cheaters as my CPA.

I feel like this is true for a lot of things - weight loss, learning a new language, writing a book, etc. Big things take time and dedication that most people aren’t willing to give

False. Most don't have the desire to go into accounting and therefore choose not to sit for the exam. #shotsfired

Feel like that’s a separate topic vs. the exam itself being difficult.

It’s not just about having the discipline to study. There is a thing called test anxiety that makes test takers nervous and not perform well on the tests even though they have studied the material inside out!

Yep, need discipline and a good study aid. I passed the CPA exams (went to the brink) without accounting experience. 75,76,75,76. What perfection!

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!

Hi Everyone, I need your opinion.
I met a girl 2 months into my 6month exchange in NYC. I enjoyed her company and we had fun together. She is really busy (IB) but we made time for each other. so it was late night and weekend hangout. When i was leaving to my home country in UK, we said we would try to make it work. Now that i am home, it has become difficult. I have lots of friends (girls), therefore i am always with them when not working, and she doesn't like it much as my ex is among (TBC)
