Does my study schedule seem doable? I’m starting with REG and TCP because it’s my strongest area as I work in tax and most doable during my busier time at work. I work 30-40 hours a week during non busy season and 40-50 hours a week during busy season. No kids, one dog.

I’m in FDD… I know I signed up for this but there’s something about the anxiety that comes on a Friday knowing that we still didn’t get access to VDR .. and how that anxiety grows as you enter the long weekend knowing that access can happen at any minute (or not) and you have to tippy-toe on the idea of potentially cancelling on your memorial weekend plans. I know the unpredictability of our job but phew 😮‍💨

When potential clients tell you they’ll hire your firm but they want to be 100% reimbursed from you if you aren’t able to get them the outcome they want - how hard is it not to laugh?! 🤦🏽‍♀️🙄

What companies do you recently regret not investing in?

People joining TCS at Senior Consultant designation with 12 years exp, with no MBA degree or even from with exceptional experience in niche technologies is truth these days.

Existing employees with 20 years exp working on presales consulting, winning millions of dollars of projects in RFPs, delivering multi million dollar assignments are still not getting promoted and paid in peanuts

Makes me wonder if companies are really enjoying so called great resignation period. What's the thought ?

Any recommendation on gym/trainers around union station? I checked FFC and few others around this place and they all seem very expensive.

Anyone here taken the LSAT and the CPA? Which one is harder?

I’ve taken FAR a few times at this point. I got two 74s and this past one I got a 70. I felt like the last exam (which was a few weeks ago) was extremely harder than the other ones. Has anyone else noticed the exam getting extremely tough? Or do you think I just got a one off?

I took FAR in Aug and AUD last week. Didn’t pass FAR and feeling like I may have passed AUD. My original NTS for them runs out on dec 18. If I get a new NTS for one of them to take before busy season do I have to wait to take it until after my original NTS runs out?

Planning on retaking reg in three weeks. Got 62 and weaker on all the main section in Q4 2017. I didn’t do well on the time management and sims. Any suggestions? Is it enough time? Need motivation.

Can anyone please advise on the process of obtaining a license in MA.
I passed my exam and need an experience certificate from my former employer but they want me to send over a state application form which they would fill out but Massachusetts does not have ang such form.
Has anyone faced such issue before?

Would it be wise to start NFP/GOV modules first for FAR since they are heavily tested ?

Just took FAR for the fourth time today 😂 LOTS of not for profit questions and even sims were not for profit!!!!! Definitely more than 5-15% Becker said!!! I got like 60% was based on NFP!

New York folks:
Are you aware of the CPA exam credit extension to 2021 for NY CPA candidates impacted by COVID19? It’s on a person-by-person basis and you need to request the extension. Has anyone tried doing this yet? Can anyone shine more light on this? The extension would really help me, but I’m not sure what more to tell them in my email than the fact that I couldn’t sit for the exams this Spring/Summer due to test centers closing in NYC.

Jusr took 2nd practice exam for far on becker and got a 68, exam is next week... what should i be doing other than hammering mcqs?

Taking my REG retake in one week. Got a 71 the last time. I purchased ninja and was planning on drilling MCQ, sims, and reading ninja notes for the next week. Do you guys think this will be sufficient?

How does someone remember so much. I feel like I spend a lot of time trying to remember things which I think in return hurts me

Just started studying for audit and there’s a small section about intro to excel/data prep in excel and was wondering if this was part of the new material change? Just wanna know if I can skip this section. Thanks!

I only have Reg left. I failed it once before. For those who have passed Reg what were some of things you focused on? Also if you have any study tips I would really appreciate it, tax has never come naturally to me.

Anyone cram for FAR?

Can anyone share their study schedule for FAR?

FAR is my first exam. I plan to start studying 3/1 (25-30 hours/week) and have the exam scheduled for 6/26. Becker’s study schedule seems so....fast?? I also have the final review books.

Scheduled to retake AUD in 4 weeks and take REG 4 weeks after. Ready to finish this beast!

Constantly wanting to leave work and go study for the CPA. I am distracted and bored while at work. It’s putting me in a meh mood. Ugh

I’m starting to study for the CPA exams. Do you think I need to watch the lectures?

I've taken all the exams twice and only passed BEC... got a 71 on REG and 66 on FAR. I really feel like giving up. What are some tips to stay motivated?

Taking Reg this Friday so wish me luck
