Hey folks, I’m indecisive about the possibility to clear these exams considering I can neither sit to study for long hours nor am I a genius.
I was never a topper or a nerd. I believe that I’ve got an average IQ. But old studying habits – specially the ones like studying a night before the exam, not memorizing anything, etc. surely do not work for the CPA. Even though the material is fairly easy to comprehend, its tough to sit through it. And its even tougher to reach the finish line considering the poor educational work ethic I’ve developed over the years.
1st BEC attempt – viewed 50% of the lectures with 0 practice questions – scored 60
2nd BEC attempt – viewed about 80% of the lectures with about 20% practice questions – scored 68
1st REG attempt – Viewed 8% of the lectures – scored 40
1st AUD attempt – viewed about 15% of the lecture with 10% practice questions – scored 26
Started my journey in February 2013 – Time’s flying – Material expires in July 2014
Next attempts
1st May – BEC
27th May – AUD
3rd Jul – FAR
I have 16 days to crack BEC from Scratch
About 26 days to crack AUD from Scratch
About a month for FAR and I’m relatively weak at accounting. Therefore left it for the end.
And I plan to repay to extend the REG material and attempt by the end of Aug.
I plan to just make it a point to sit for about 6 hrs a day at the least. I personally believe that it shouldn’t be a herculean task (passing all of these in the 1st attempt) as it seems. Specially when someone isn’t working. With a fair amount of hard work and practice, do you think this is unachievable?
