CPA Excel MCQ’s

    I have been studying FAR for the past month and I am taking the exam at the end of August. I started out watching videos (which I like a lot), reading the book and then doing all the MCQ’s and Simulations. The problem is that I am not even half way done and I know I need 2 weeks to revise at the end. That leaves me 3 weeks to complete about 70% of the course. I feel that doing the MCQ’s trains my brain to think in a certain way, which is good for the exam. By only studying the chapter and watching the lectures, I get only about 60% of the MCQ’s correct. However, the problem is that I don’t have much time to do these MCQ’s and carry on at this pace. I will probably not be able to either complete the whole course and/or do the last couple of weeks revision (revision is extremely important for me). So, I am thinking that I will just watch the videos and study the book during the week and do random MCQ’s and simulations from each of the chapters one day during the weekend. Also, when I study and watch lectures, I try to do the question that is on the book and write the JE’s. (I do have a good understanding of most JE’s and can understand them). I think this way, I will be able to finish the course work in three weeks and also do some MCQ’s.

    What do you guys think about my approach? Thank you all and keep working hard.

    PS: This is my final section. My credit for Audit expires on the 23rd of November so I will have one more chance during the 4th window.

    CPAexcel user here too. I am taking my FAR exam on 8/31, and started studying on 6/1. I most likely will complete all of my assignments, but I've struggled with having ANY time for a review of the older material. I am sure I've forgotten most/all of it. I am not sure what the answer is, other than trying to squeeze in review of older stuff here and there. Like you, I've done all of the MCQ, PQ, and SIMS, and read the study text. Most have told me that the real learning comes during the review, so I definitely plan to hammer MCQ and SIM questions for the next month up until exam time. It is a LOT of material, for sure. Feel proud of 60%, since my average the first go-round seems to be only a mere 50% (sometimes less).

    What do they call an accounting person, who only managed a 75 on all four parts of the CPA exam....you got it, CPA!!!
