Hi everyone,
I just registered but have been lurking for a couple of months semi-regularly. I've had two REALLY disappointing scores so far (FAR – 60 and AUD – 49). I am stunned at my Audit score, I really thought I did pretty well on it…I even thought I'd nailed at least a majority of my simulations. Which makes it worse that I have no idea what I did wrong. I've heard of the theory that you should go back and try to face what you failed immediately – but I don't know if that's smart for me personally. I really feel like I will be better off if I try and move on and not dwell on what happened before. That's why I'm moving on to REG on July 31. I just know I'm not doing something right, clearly. I go through my whole book (I'm using Roger…is there a reason so few here don't use him? Or either that or most just don't say?) and I run the multiple choice questions…but I know one thing I'm changing for Regulation is to spend more time doing multiple choice questions as I go. I haven't been doing that as much – the bulk of what I do in that regard is at the end (last 2-2.5 weeks). I'm seriously considering spending the first month or so on Taxation, which is 9 chapters in the Roger Textbook. That's half my study window…which I think is probably smart. I'm so relieved that I took a business law course in the Fall, too, otherwise I'd be totally clueless on that.
Anyway…that was a bit of a ramble, I just wanted to introduce myself and get any kind of advice to revamp my studying? Like what kinds of materials are out there that I could add to Roger (for really cheap or even free). I'm definitely going to look into CPA Excel. I've heard of it but have not looked at it as of yet. Anyway…time to pick myself back up, yet again, and start going for Regulation. Hoping the support here will help. š
