    I am considering it. Taking the Becker review course right now, or trying too. Finding it very hard to stay motivated to study. Waiting for AUD score release on Tuesday is killing me. Something inside of me is saying don't study FAR until you know how you did on AUD. . . I am my own worst enemy. Then I keep telling myself I can just study and catch up over vacation. HA

    I'm scheduled to take it on January 11, but at the moment I feel under-prepared. I'm very motivated but have so many distractions that I feel like a crazy person sometimes. Last weekend I sat my husband and my daughter (14), in turn, at my desk and had them click through all the material I have yet to cover in Wiley. That helped a bit, I have to admit. They've been much better about leaving me alone when they see me at my desk pounding away at the calculator and muttering to myself.

    I am scheduled to take the exam January 17th. I have only made it through 1/3 of the Roger CPA materials so hopefully I will have time to finish and review comprehensively for a few weeks. I don't know since it is my first exam and I am trying to learn as much as possible.

    FAR- 53, next time 5/5/16
    B: 7/30/16
    A:TBD
    R:TBD

    And right now I am trending 65%.

    @Track55

    I'm just curious how did you jump it up from 74 to 99 in AUD and so in Reg?!
    could you share it with us pl.

    Qarnism, here is an answer I posted months ago when asked:

    You know how in school you remember everything from last week but NOTHING from the beginning of the semester? So you hoped your professor didn't have cumulative finals? That's what happened with me with Gleim.

    I followed the study plan over 3 months and did the 5-day review at the end. But I honestly didn't remember the stuff from the beginning. Both times I didn't finish the exams and failed. I assume the other review courses have set study plans.

    Now I do Gleim but added Ninja MCQ. The questions are mixed so you are reviewing all topics at the same time. For REG I attempted all the questions but didn't hit the review phase. For AUD I did answer them all correctly and hit the review phase. I did all the SIMS once for both tests.

    That being said, I was unemployed from May to August so all I did was study for AUD. Also, Mondays seem to be better testing days than Saturdays. You have all weekend to study.

    Go to the AICPA website and take the sample exam. I didn't do that the first 2 times. Also, if you have Ninja there are 50 free AICPA questions you can print out.

    That's a long answer to a short question. I hope this helps. — M

    Question? Has anyone ever flagged and skipped a number of multiple choice questions on rhe cpa exam. I thought that if I skip the ones that I was uncertain about I would be fine. I did that on all three mcq testlets in FAR. I guess that's not the case bc I was at least 95% sure on all others except the ones I skipped. And got thru all my Sims just fine. And then I got the results back and failed my FAR exam. [Now] I will not leave any stones unturned.
