The life of a CPA candidate
There is definitely a difference in the way I am studying now as opposed to the previous course I took. I love the “notes” feature of Yaeger’s course! When I’m done with a module, I print them out, tape them in my notebook and then do all the multiple choice and sims that were assigned. [...]
Students helping Students
This week the temperature is supposed to finally get up into the 80s and stay there. A few weeks ago we had about a week of nice weather, but then it got cold again. Hopefully summer is here to stay this time! Anyway, May is going to be a big month. I hope to receive [...]
So I’m back to square one
So I’m back to square one. My name is Alison and I’ve been a CPA candidate for about 2 years now. I graduated Brooklyn College in 2010 and have had my head buried in textbooks ever since. I’ve learned, and quite quickly, that if you want to succeed at this, you have to give it [...]
Tornado’s and the CPA exam – both scary!
So, I have a long night of studying planned tonight. One of the quirks of living in Oklahoma is our weather. Not alot about our weather is ever normal. You can only get used to the hot temperature in the summer. Last summer, I think we had two weeks of over 110 degrees in a [...]
On to my next section, BEC
Well, I took the FAR exam last Friday. It was not what I expected at all. I went in very intimidated and I feel like I almost gave up a few weeks before. Tired of getting up early to get my daughter ready, going to work for 9 hours every day, going to pick up [...]
CPA Exam is easier said than done
As of today I am 2/3 way completed on my Yeager FARE Review and I have to say…. The preparation and dedicating the time as well as committing every spare minute of your life to pass the CPA Exam is easier said than done. Yes! I know that from the beginning and I thought I [...]
Pushing My Exam Date Forward…Again!
Exam: REG Exam Phase: Module 24 “Professional Responsibility” Emotion Phase: Exhausted If I can study the way I work, I would be done with this exam! I’ve been working 7 days a week and have not had a break! We will be filing extensions soon so it should be slowing down. I am not trying [...]
2 Days until exam
Well, only two more days until my FAR exam. I am feeling a lot of different emotions. I am ready to get this section over, so I can start focusing on my next section. The financial section is just a ton of information and it will be nice to leave it behind me for a [...]
Cannot Stay Focus
Exam: REG Exam Phase: Module 23 “Professional Liability” Emotion Phase: Upset I allowed one complete week to pass by without any progress. I say “allowed” because that’s exactly what happened. I believe I only studied two days last week with the other days being spent stressed because I haven’t studied. I was on a [...]
9 days till FAR
The FAR section is coming really quickly. I feel like everything is working against me when it comes to studying. It just seems like my family obligations make it very difficult to get in a lot of studying time, but I am still trying to do all I can do. When I first decided to [...]
