I’m really struggling to pass any of the CPA exams 😭 I’ve taken FAR, AUD, BEC and BAR over the years.

I do believe I have an understanding of the info but when it comes to the exam I just choke or can’t apply it. My understanding/memorization is good but my application/analysis must be trash lol I feel like I’m missing something!

Anyone struggle to pass any of the exams then made a shift that they think helped them finally pass?

Looking for any tips you guys might have!!

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

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?

Exam scores are up!

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

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?

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!

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.

Used Gliem for Reg and Roger for BEC and Aud. Really liked Roger though but heard its not good enough for Far.
Please recommend any good review course for FAR

Anyone cram 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.

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
