Check out the Reddit/Facebook groups to find out what you should be focusing on. Right now, it looks like the exams are IT heavy with a lot of variance and COSO/ERM mixed in. Is there something specific overwhelming you?

Curious to hear how others create a SOW for a video where the concept isn’t created yet. e.g. a startup asks for a proposal/estimate for a 60-second brand video with little input and a vague budget range. We’ll create the concept and produce it. My Co. seems to have challenges with getting the SOW right: either goes very basic or doesn’t scope enough because creative development is baked in but eats up time. How do you do it?

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!
