I passed it three years ago and I'm retaking it Monday. I remember there being a variance SIM with journal entries, and my friends have confirmed it's still on the exam. And the best part is becker doesn't cover variance journal entries 🙃 there's some decent videos though by Darius Clark on YouTube

Apparently ERM/COSO, IT and variances are big ones.

The CPA exam group on Reddit is super helpful. Becker was my last exam to pass the CPA and that group told me the topics to focus on. It changes often, so I used to check leading up to my exam when people would post what to study.

So Becker was supposed to charge me $600 to update for unlimited access since my account was due to expire in March. I called them in December to make payment. Now 8months later...they reach out to me saying they only charged $35. I just checked my bank statement and they are right but i don't have $600 sitting around...What do i do? Thoughts?

I’m so happy to say that after about 5 years of being here, I’m finally done with the exam!!! In a world full of internet trolls, it was so refreshing to be on this thread while we all cheered for each other and pushed each other to climb over our failures and discouragements. Thank you for all who have posted helpful comments, asked poignant questions and left their encouragement! If I can pass, you will pass! Best of luck everyone!
