I don't remember any really long MCQ, but yet it took me two hours to get through them. I left an hour and 45 minutes for SIMS last time I think and this time I only had a little over an hour for all 6 SIMS. Luckily those weren't awful this time around.

CPA Exam - Finally DONE (November 2014)
BEC (08/10/13) 80
AUD (08/24/13) 65 (11/13/13) 85

Hello people!!! I am supppppper excited to say I will be starting to study today for my LAST CPA EXAM! I am a little excited!!!!!!! I am also a tax person so that is why I saved REG for last. I know it will be very challenging, but I am looking forward to learning the material since it applies to my career! Good luck to everyone out there studying and I look forward to discussions and quizzes to come!

Planning to test in February but I am not sure when yet. I know this month will be challening around the holidays to study so I want to give myself enough time.

AUD - 73,91
FAR - 79 - Thank you God!
BEC - 73,79!!!!
REG - 92 whatttt??!

I used Becker review + flashcards, Ninja Audio, Ninja MCQ supplement on BEC and REG.

Done! Praise God!

@lauren congrats! were you in my AUD study group? Maybe BEC?

Anywho, waiting on my FAR score and looking forward to starting on REG! Best case scenario- I passed FAR and will take REG beginning of Jan. Worst case, I re-take FAR beginning of Jan and take REG end of Feb.

How much time are people alloting to study? It's pretty slow around here during the Holidays, so I'll have some time during the day to study…was thinking 6 weeks (20-25 hrs/week) should suffice.

Gabe, I have 2013 book. Only differences I have seen in first few lectures are some of the exemption amounts and limitations which are updated in the ebook and I am correcting in my hard copy book. I have heard those amounts are not tested heavily? I think you should be ok.

AUD - 73,91

REG - 92 whatttt??!

Is there a general consensus on the hardest material to get down for Reg? I understand everything is fair game but I'm simply curious which areas might require extra effort and focus. Thanks.

New to this… I took BEC last week, scheduled REG for Jan 31. I have reviewed this material all once before but came down with pneumonia/3 week hospital stay and had to cancel. I am using a combination of Wiley/CPAExcel, Ninja MCQ's, and Bisk circa 2010 but haven't seen how heavily certain areas in REG are tested (BEC had financial management at 18-24% so I focused a little more heavily on that only to have more in-depth questions in Information Technology).

BEC - 84
REG - 88
FAR - 75
AUD - 71, Nov 2015

Im having hard time understanding employee stock options.

Should I focus on this small topic or move on?

FAR - 76*, 73, 85
BEC - 69, 72, 78*, 80
AUD - 72, 71, 90
REG - 71, 74, 85

AFTER 3 YEARS I'M DONE!!!

[Gabe]

@fun same here. Right now I am moving on, if it becomes a big issue later I will google some videos about it. There are literally only 5 questions in Becker…haven't looked at Ninja yet
