    I'm back at is and so serious about the CPA exam in 2014. I have taken all the parts in sometime in my life and in a range from 2-8 points from passing. That actually motivates me. I know ANYONE can pass this exam. I lost 80 pounds last year and my biggest secret is consistency. I have never been consistent with my study strategies. I've used Backer, Wiley and Gliem. I currently have access to all 3 and have decided to stick with the one NINJA based study model.

    N/I – Take notes on Becker Videos. I like all the memorization tools.

    N – Do all the MCQ's in Gliem. There are 20 chapters in Gliem so you can really focus on smaller chunks of topics @ a time.

    J – Rewrite ALL my notes. I have 1 book for Becker Notes and 1 book for Gliem nots from the questions.

    A – Do Wiley questions for my weak points 5 days before exam. I memorize questions/answer with out even thinking so I'll use a second test bank to give me a fresh look.

    I know if I stick to this program I will pass the exam. My goal is a 90% but I'll be just as happy with a 75%.

    FAR - 05/2015
    AUD - 75,11/2014
    REG - 07/2015
    BEC - 09/2015

    Taking AUD for the 3rd time in April. Just found out I failed BEC for the 3rd time. trying out the live class with Becker, hoping to meet some other people in the area studying for the same exam. Every time I fail I consider quitting but I really really really want to pass this time so I can finally say I passed and say goodbye to it! Time to get my study on, hello AUD goodbye life!

    BEC 66, 70, 67
    AUD 55, 71

    Planning on taking AUD in mid to late May, depending on my FAR score. I should know Mar 7th if I'll be re-studying for FAR or jumping on AUD.

    Not going to lie… AUD scares me. It was not my favorite class in college and I often found myself confused. And I have zero real world auditing experience/exposure. Here's to hoping CPAExcel, the 10 point combo, and this board will be enough!

    FAR - 73, rematch in early April
    AUD - 5/14
    REG - 8/14
    BEC - 11/14

    HI samiam468

    I am not a fan of the live Becker classes. I found most people did not have a test date and were just doing the class for course credit. Plus you end up having to re-study everything anyway because you are so tired in class. Check http://www.meetup.com to see if there are any study groups in your area. Also try other social media like Facebook/IG and Google Plus. I actually got better test scores when I just parked my self in Starbucks for hours at a time.

    Good Luck !

    started Aud yesterday. Using Becker and getting extremely bored. I am trying a variety of tools to get me from dozing off in btw readings. I am trying to listen to lectures, read the section, repeat it out loud as if I am explaining it to someone else..lol (not sure how long that will last) and then writing the imp points and lastly, going over the flash cards before tackling the

    MCQs.

    Wow.. I make it sound as if I hv it under control. I am only 10 pages into the book :-/

    Here's to hoping it gets better and easier. I am determined to do this. And I shall do this. I am planning to take Aud early May and will be sitting for Reg early April.
