CPA Reviewed Podcast #27 – I Didn’t Click “Quit Exam”?
Get the podcast on iTunes. Intro Music: Until That Day - Mitch Langley Yolanda - I have five kids and a full time job. Can I possibly pass this exam? Eldo - I scored a 74 on FAR. Is it worth a score review? Julian - I spent an entire year studying for FAR and failed with a 68. Should I change review courses and consider getting the Wiley online test bank? Shawn - I failed REG, and Im starting to study again. Should I rewrite my notes, or can I use my old notes for review? Robert - I failed BEC twice after not doing any of the writing. I dont have any grammar or writing training. Can I pass BEC without doing any writing, or should I take a writing course? Lisa - Do the testlets get harder if you are doing well on the exam? Jason - Im studying for my third attempt at FAR. Do you think I should watch all 51 hours of lecture videos again? I dont know if the videos help me as much as working MCQs. Mike - Im done with school and not working right now, but Im finding it hard to study with so much time on my hands. Do you think I should get a job to help motivate me? Astrid - I started the CPA Exam and passed FAR while living in Puerto Rico. I recently moved to New Jersey and wonder if I am eligible to sit in New Jersey. Do you have any advice? Elizabeth - I wasnt able to officially exit my exam and I'm worried that my score wont be processed. I exited the written communication screen and was kicked out just prior to exiting the last screen. Do you know if the scores will still go through? Jenn - I have the 2011 Wiley CPA Review book for Regulation. Is there a need to get the 2012 version, or has there not been that much of a change? Stephanie - I'm studying for BEC, using a video review course and the NINJA method. I keep finding that the homework takes much longer than my course says and more than I have budgeted in my time to study each week. What is the best way to adequately prepare and stay within my study time limits? Javier - Are the FAR simulations and long and difficult as the ones provided in review materials? June - I just failed AUD for the fourth time. Im coming close to the end of my 18-month window and dont know what to do to pass it. Do you have any suggestions?
