Becker Question –
I just started studying for the CPA exam on 2/4/14. I am taking the online course which covers about 2 chapters a week. I am only on chapter 3 (just finished, currently doing a progress test on b1, b2, and b3 for review). I am studying about 5-8 hours a day, 6 days a week. I am feeling pretty stressed and worried, trying to stay positive. I don’t know how some people do two chapters a week, it seems like it takes me about 4-5 days to finish one chapter (watching lectures really helps me to understand the gist of the material because obviously when we get to the homework it expects you to be an expert at it, doing all the homeworks not really caring about the % score (usually 60%+) and doing progress tests and reading the chapter.) I mean how much more studying can we do? I still feel like i’m going to get a crazy calculation question on the exam and not know what the heck i’m doing.
Any advice? I still don’t know how some people can work full time have kids, etc. and still manage to study for this thing only 2-3 hours a day. I need some advice to see if i’m on the right track, studying 6 days 5-8 hours a day and doing all MCQs and reading material and watching lectures & doing progress tests. for some odd reason, the homework always seems a lot harder than whatever is taught in the book and some topics aren’t even on the book.

I definitely wish I was one of those people who got all 4 exams done in 4 months, but unfortunately LIFE (being a newlywed, stress, adjusting to newlywed life and cpa exam study life, as well as starting a job with a Big4 which I am very happy about) got in the way, just happy that I am passing period!!I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!
