Good luck on the path to CPA! I passed in 15 months working in tax, with 2 busy seasons per year. Schedule that exam in!!

Good luck. It seems daunting at first. Once you get that first one under your belt, it gets easier.

Good luck! One thing that has helped my studying is just committing to a date once done the lectures. I found that if I “waited until I was comfortable” it was easy to rationalize pushing it back further.

Wait until the morning of the exam...

What do you guys think about apps like BetterHelp and Talkspace? I understand they might have real therapists working on their content, but a lot of the marketing I see is so vague and broad that it feels like a lie. Seems like "This app got rid of my anxiety with a 30-minute automated text questionnaire" is the new "This tea made me lose 20 pounds in two weeks!" Just seems a little fad-like and money grabby to me. Thoughts?
