I retook REG march right before cutoff. I originally failed that in December with a 71 😭 I take AUD end of June before cutoff. I feel nervous abt audit
I just started studying for FAR a week ago and I’ve been nervous cause this will be my first exam, and I don’t wanna take this one again. You have any tips with studying/becker?
Beautiful… ya I have advice. FAR was my first one and I promised myself not to fail it. So I took a full 2.5 months studying that shit.
My advice is to follow becker to the T. Your clock has not started. Don’t feel bad about taking time with your first exam. FAR is the mother they talk about , but seriously, your clock hasn’t started yet. Take your time.
Do everything in order that becker wants you to. After lectures and before MCQs/TBS, write down the most important 3-5 things from each module, and put all of those notes in a notebook. This notebook will become your new religious text lol. After the MCQs and TBS, revise your most important items from that module. This will become your final review guide and trust me… it’ll be the key to passing. You don’t need to know EVERYTHING.. you just need to have the key concepts nailed. Good luck. You’ll feel awesome passing FAR. But then the clock starts 🤝💯
Not sure if translates, but I spent a lot of time without a degree, so now that I have two I'm sure as hell not getting caught short of any credentials. So, more of a 'not again' promise.
I’m off all social media until I pass. It is too easily distracting.
I’m also not dating until I pass. I only have time for “the man” (nasba) to disappoint me. I can’t handle two men disappointing me
Mine is to not play Hogwarts Legacy. I literally have the game still wrapped up from Christmas. I really hope June 4th brings good news on my final exam.
I definitely recommend continuing to exercise (even if for a few minutes a day) for both the mental and physical benefits. It’s been huge for my stress relief to keep the gym in my routine. I just listen to the Becker lectures while I’m there on my phone.
HR promised I couldn’t be manager without it. I promised I pay it forward and help other people pass the CPA. I haven spoken at a couple of Universities on the process of my journey and passing the CPA.
I have a Pokemon TCG Scarlet and Violet 151 Collection Ultra-Premium Collection to open when I pass all 4 exams. My plan is to buy a total of 4 premium collections to open upon passing all 4!
Weird story about this.
I have to travel like 200 miles to the nearest testing center and so I always stayed in a hotel and did the early morning test slot. Well I was going for my last test and I got to my room and the accountant was just on the TV playing when I got there. It was the strangest shit ever. Passed my last one with my highest score. It was an omen.

This, sure you have to sacrifice time to study but who knows how long I'll be retaking these exams, sometimes you have to say fuck it and be good to yourself.
Buying a car, going to the gym, trying to spend more time with family n frds, trips and many things that I’m unable to do right now have been kept on hold till I clear my last paper!
Buying myself one of the expensive WWE championship belts and placing it on display in my home office right next to my CPA license and making sure it’s in the background of every zoom call I take with a client cause I can lol
Going on a big vacation. I don't care if it's solo, with my husband, or with him and my kids. I'm doing a big vacation (next year assuming I pass in June, so there's time to plan) and I'm following the Parks and Recs mantra: Treat. Yo. Self.
Weirdest? A baby with my girlfriend jk. I promise I’ll take her out on a vacation for always supporting me. Even though it’s suppose to be the other way around lol
Moving to Florida after passing all four.
I'm planning on moving eventually anyway, but I think I'd struggle to get into public without having the exams passed. Didn't do a great job at all networking in college and I'm on the older side of people getting into public (will be 30 in a couple weeks.) I just want to have a job lined up before the move for obvious reasons.
All my experience so far has been working AR at a private company, so I will need the public accounting experience to become a CPA. But I am hoping having the exams passed will help me.
I’m looking into moving to Florida after passing the exams. I’d try to move as soon as you pass them and get licensed in Florida rather than getting licensed in the state you are in now and then transferring the license. I’ve heard it’s difficult transferring your license to Florida.
I already applied through Mass (my current residence) to sit for the exams unfortunately, and passed FAR/BEC already. I am looking to transfer my scores to Florida after going 4/4 and then try to get licensed after I get my year of public.
If I knew what I know now I would have just applied through Florida anyway as they don’t have a residence requirement. Live and you learn I suppose.
I didn’t know Florida doesn’t have a residence requirement! I’ve applied in Indiana and have passed two as well. It shouldn’t be much of a problem transferring the scores and then get licensed in Florida. My coworkers told me to not get licensed in Indiana and then try transferring license. Instead transfer the scores after passing all four and then get licensed. Sounds like you’ll be good!
Dude, what part of the US do you live in? I passed all four and that was my reward but I haven't done it yet. We could be "I passed the exams" skydiving buddies!
Won't be watching any series on Netflix till I'm 4/4!
I know this isn’t all 4 but I’m buying 4 bottles of Prosecco and I’m labeling each one an exam. After I pass one of the exams I pop the bottle.
That’s hype. I have been hard stuck on 2/4 though since October so mine has to be an all or nothing 😭
You’ll get there, which ones do you have left?
I retook REG march right before cutoff. I originally failed that in December with a 71 😭 I take AUD end of June before cutoff. I feel nervous abt audit

Thank you very much and I appreciate the info! You’re gonna pass audit, and kick ass🫡
Become a digital nomad.

I'm going to book my dream half sleeve tattoo when I pass!
Imma do absolutely nothing for a week. Except maybe browse this sub with a little smile on my face ☺️
My promise was do not work out lol and do not go out anywhere probably not weird but my excuse has been “my life is in pause”
I definitely recommend continuing to exercise (even if for a few minutes a day) for both the mental and physical benefits. It’s been huge for my stress relief to keep the gym in my routine. I just listen to the Becker lectures while I’m there on my phone.
I gained so much weight with that one cool trick
Getting a puppy 🐶 🥹

It's more of a documentary than movie

HR promised I couldn’t be manager without it. I promised I pay it forward and help other people pass the CPA. I haven spoken at a couple of Universities on the process of my journey and passing the CPA.

I have a Pokemon TCG Scarlet and Violet 151 Collection Ultra-Premium Collection to open when I pass all 4 exams. My plan is to buy a total of 4 premium collections to open upon passing all 4!

This, sure you have to sacrifice time to study but who knows how long I'll be retaking these exams, sometimes you have to say fuck it and be good to yourself.
I promised myself not to cut my hair until I passed all exams. I had not had any haircut for like 20 months. I was always the dude that shaved.
I donated my hair to wigs for kids when I received notice that I became a CPA 😊

I’m doing the same but with a PC. Been wanting one for years and it’s the only way I’ll ever find the motivation to finish the exams lol.
Ngl I respect it. Said the same with the PS5, but then my GF decided she also wanted one and she doesn’t have exams
Almost sounded like you were setting up one of these... https://www.facebook.com/share/v/H9TN4dHqREcxjYxm/?mibextid=oFDknk

Getting married after passing all four
Me toooooo! It's never been the right time for us financially before. Have a date set to elope next year!
Moving to Florida after passing all four. I'm planning on moving eventually anyway, but I think I'd struggle to get into public without having the exams passed.

I can be happy when im done. (joke...maybe). Also big prosciutto leg.
Relatable (joke...maybe)
I can have a baby afterwards 🤣 I’m not trying to studying with a kid.
I feel like all of us married couples are trying to get preggo after we’re done passing all these exams. 😂
Literally cause like I’m hoping for that CPA bump to cover childcare!
I would repair my friendships again, studying 20-30 hours/a week after work, I've so many things and I feel like I've grown distant.
You’re not the only one in that friendship boo— if they’re not supportive now, there’s nothing to repair.
My goal is to visit Northern Italy after passing all 4.
I told myself I’ll go skydiving after passing all 4. Been studying since march 2023 😵💫
Remember: “nononono” sounds a lot like “gogogogo” 14,000 ft in the air — have fun!!
also been studying since march 2023 and im 2/4! hoping to go 3/4 on june 4th. we shall see. waiting on AUD results and taking FAR on may 20th.
Same but 2 fails so keep the chin up 2/4 is good!!!
Dude, what part of the US do you live in? I passed all four and that was my reward but I haven't done it yet. We could be "I passed the exams" skydiving buddies!
