What study methods and strategies help you focus the best? I have such a hard time focusing for long periods of time. Feel like I need some structure in my study sessions.

Check out SuperFastCPA. Their study strategies helped me a lot with this. They have a free 1 hour seminar where they explain their study method, I would highly recommend checking that out and from there you can determine if what they say makes sense to you

Hi All,

I had an offer from CGI for 14lpa two months ago. I rejected it as I received an offer from a product based company for 19lpa+5L stocks. Now I am not able to handle the pressure in this Product company and want to go back to CGI. Can I apply to CGI again? Will they take me? Is there any duration to apply again. Please help.

Studying for FAR and it gives me so much anxiety. There’s just so much information. I’m taking notes and reading. I don’t plan on listening to the lectures but I feel like I’m moving so slow. Advice?

I’ve taken FAR a few times at this point. I got two 74s and this past one I got a 70. I felt like the last exam (which was a few weeks ago) was extremely harder than the other ones. Has anyone else noticed the exam getting extremely tough? Or do you think I just got a one off?
