Trying to pass the exams as quickly and efficiently as possible. Would Reddit and other forums on the exact topics be the best route? I’ve taken this exam 7 times across FAR, REG, and BEC but cannot pass and would really like to get it out of the way in about 4-6 months.

FAR, assuming you have becker, non stop mcq and sims. Do this non stop. Keep hitting mcqs, and read the explanations. Do this in interval of 10 qs. Anythin more you will just rush to get it over with.
Download the app, I really loved the UI. It was great for doing this on the mta, when I commuted, or while in the gym dying on the eliptical.
Use a tablet or if you have a foldable phone, use that. (This one is just a preferance)

You failed the exam 7 times and you want to pass it in the next six months? Maybe try and pass one or two by end of this year and get the rest done. Read the book do your homework and take the SEs and you’ll pass

Don’t rush it. I’m assuming the rushing it part is what is leading to you failing. You truly have to understand everything (or close to everything) before you are ready to take the exam. For some people they can do it quickly. Others aren’t as lucky, which I was in that boat. It just depends on your learning style. And I’m gonna assume you need to slow it down and take longer before you sit.

Oh my god. I am finally done with the CPA. It took me 5 years and I failed so many times, lost credit, spent thousands of dollars on different study materials, coffees, pens, etc. I can’t believe this day has finally come for me. 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!
