I just write down my own summary of the things I often make mistakes on or don't know quite well. At the end of the studying, I always have a good 3-4 pages of bullet points. I study those pages right before the exam. It has been working for me. Occasionally, I include the cards with nice summary charts in my "pre-exam-cramming-session-package" (lol), but those charts are in the books anyways. </p> <p>I find going through flashcards is a hassle. It adds a bulk of study time. </p> <p>I also did not have time to do any of the final exams for BEC in Becker, and surprisingly, it went OK. =) I now think as long as I study the practice MCs and chapter simulations well, I'm all set. </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/pls-somebody-should-answer-me-what-review-flashcards-worked-for-u-i-need-to-b#post-16250 Wed, 10 Feb 2010 13:32:23 +0000 magic_8_ball_did_i_pass 16250@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>Elsie.</p> <p>I too have never heard of flashpoint. I use Becker flashcards as they were the review company I decided to go with. However, I didn't purchase my flashcards with my package because i knew ebay had them cheaper. I love my cards because I can look at them during my hour long commute on public transportation.</p> <p>Good Luck to you </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/pls-somebody-should-answer-me-what-review-flashcards-worked-for-u-i-need-to-b#post-16141 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 11:55:11 +0000 75 CPA 16141@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>The only exam that requires 100% memorization is Audit.

I would definitely say more than Becker. The website doesn't specify how many there are, and I really don't know without going threw and counting each section. Just call the number on the webiste and I'm sure they will be able to tell you. The website says they are for 09-10, so they must have been updated. I bought my stuff in June and they were 08-09. </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/pls-somebody-should-answer-me-what-review-flashcards-worked-for-u-i-need-to-b#post-16115 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 17:27:23 +0000 elsie 16115@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>tag thanks a lot...................how many count was yr kaplan flashcards????? is it also 250 cards each like becker? besides they seem expensive</p> <p>are they 2010 updated? </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/pls-somebody-should-answer-me-what-review-flashcards-worked-for-u-i-need-to-b#post-16114 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 16:57:10 +0000 tag 16114@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>Elsie - I've never heard of flashpoint flashcards. That doesn't mean they might not be good, they are just not mainstream or popular like Becker. I used flashcards a lot for BEC, but not as much for FAR. They are only really usefull if you have extra time in the day. I would focus more of my time on the MC ?'s and simulations. But if I had to recommend flashcards, I would again recommend Kaplan's. Another good thing about Kaplan is that you can purchase each sections flashcards seperately for $60 each. I think you can only purchase all four sections for Becker, but I could be wrong. Kaplan is also slightly cheaper for all four sections flashcards ($240 Kaplan vs. $295 Becker). </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/pls-somebody-should-answer-me-what-review-flashcards-worked-for-u-i-need-to-b#post-16111 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 16:07:00 +0000 Jeff - another71.com 16111@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>Elsie - please only use one thread for this topic...if people have an opinion, they can share it here.</p> <p>In the end - it's your call as to what product you go with...a few people have chimed in on their experiences. </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/pls-somebody-should-answer-me-what-review-flashcards-worked-for-u-i-need-to-b#post-16107 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 15:31:02 +0000 elsie 16107@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>thks jeff, but i do take notes as i watch phil, but question is for flashcards to carry and memorize as supplement to notes and others leaving no loopholes and covering stuff skipped on notes too </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/pls-somebody-should-answer-me-what-review-flashcards-worked-for-u-i-need-to-b#post-16106 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 15:26:41 +0000 Jeff - another71.com 16106@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>I personally think that you should take notes - you will absorb the info better.</p> <p>You stated that you were going to purchase some flashcards and that you weren't going to take notes - so your mind was made up.

Chances are, people who are purchase these flashcards are doing so when they purchase their study software. For example, I use Becker to study so I purchased Becker flashcards. They worked for me, so I have no frame of reference for other flashcards because it wasn't necessary. I have never heard of the particular brand that you are asking about, but I would say stick to the flashcards that supplement your study materials. I think that would be the best since it would be consistent with what you are learning. That is just my input. </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/pls-somebody-should-answer-me-what-review-flashcards-worked-for-u-i-need-to-b#post-16090 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 10:26:53 +0000 elsie 16090@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>are flashpoint flashcards any use? pls any answers out there???????????????????????? </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/pls-somebody-should-answer-me-what-review-flashcards-worked-for-u-i-need-to-b#post-16089 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 09:43:51 +0000 elsie 16089@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>tag.......thanks for the info ever heard of flash point flashcards???? </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/pls-somebody-should-answer-me-what-review-flashcards-worked-for-u-i-need-to-b#post-16083 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 21:10:14 +0000 tag 16083@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>I have both Becker and Kaplan flashcards. I feel the Becker flash cards are pretty good, they just cover topics and concepts, whereas the Kaplan flashcards cover the same things as the Bekcer ones and also have miniture problems that you can easily solve without any paper or pencil. I'm not a huge flashcard person, but I would definitely consider looking at the Kaplan flashcards. The Kaplan flashcards are a great source to use while studying at the office or on the road if you arn't drivng. </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/pls-somebody-should-answer-me-what-review-flashcards-worked-for-u-i-need-to-b#post-16080 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 20:40:05 +0000 skiw97 16080@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>For FAR, I used them a ton.. late night, when I couldnt do any more q's, I'd go through them chapter by chapter, a few at a time.</p> <p>As time went on, I'd set aside the ones that became more important, so before exam time, I had a nice stack of about 30 that really helped me with subjects/concepts that were tough.

I never used flash cards in college or high school to study either. If that is truly how you study, you are probably better off making your own cards so they stick in your head better. If you normally don't study using flash cards they might just be a waste of your time/money like Patrick909 said above. </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/pls-somebody-should-answer-me-what-review-flashcards-worked-for-u-i-need-to-b#post-16043 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 08:14:15 +0000 Patrick909 16043@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>Making flash cards was cumbersome and time-wasting, and buying them seemed a waste of money........so I ended up not using them. </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/pls-somebody-should-answer-me-what-review-flashcards-worked-for-u-i-need-to-b#post-16041 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 07:04:06 +0000 CPAWannaBe 16041@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>I tried to make my own flashcards and it got too cumbersome for me, so I ordered Becker's.

That was convenient. There were some chapters I knew the cards well and others I never even looked at. </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/pls-somebody-should-answer-me-what-review-flashcards-worked-for-u-i-need-to-b#post-16040 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 01:54:29 +0000 elsie 16040@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>PLS HELP!!!
