You could just buy a question bank. I’m talking one with thousands of questions. Becker was good, but the enforcement of material with questions is what’ll get someone to pass. I did questions over and over again until I knew the questions by heart. When I got to the exam, it was almost like muscle memory. The questions were so similar to the study questions my hand moved to the right answer. I’d still get a study prep material with at least an explanation of concepts. You could study everything and miss 1 thing and that’s what you’ll be asked the most on the exam. Good luck!

Why would someone do that?

Hit the blueprint up against the AI and have it make me questions in small batches. Go through the blueprint like 5 times (aka rounds). Watch simulation videos on youtube.

I’m mid 30s F. Recently started seeing this guy, where he is “good enough”. Good conversations, decent time together, he has a good heart, but nothing about him shines. - not fit (I work out everyday and play sports), meh social skills (he doesn’t have best friends, just few he hangs out with), bit less energy than me.
There is a feeling in me that says “he’s going to be a comfortable life partner” and “he is just good enough, but if I break up I won’t find someone for a long time”
Do I stay?

Oh my god. I am finally done with the CPA.

If you’re struggling please don’t give up and don’t compare yourself to someone else. It will eventually happen for you if you keep pushing!
