Any of you have used UWorld Roger CPA Review FAR course? I’ve watched the lecture and worked on WTB to prepare for the exam in Feb and got an extremely low score.

I am now restudying for the exam in May. Do you suggest me to re-watch Roger lecture again or read the Wiley textbook instead?

If you received an extremely low score, then there may be quite a bit of material that you need to brush up on. After my first take, I re-read the text and re-worked homework problems. I spend a lot of time on Governmenal and Not For Profit since that was my weakest area. I followed that up with several weeks of work with MCQ's, which helped a lot.

I'm not a big fan of the Roger test bank, but I do find the explanations helpful- since they tie into the Roger material.

OP – when you used the WTB to do your practice = were you scoring low in all the topics or some of them ?

I would do a mixture of watching his videos and reading the Wiley book.

Lets say you are weak in Bonds – then rewatch the video and then write your little nugget notes – go to the Wiley Book (if you have it) and do some Bonds questions – then do them in the Wiley test bank. You should notice a increase on your performance and score a lot better.

Normally the first time I do the questions on a topic I just learnt I use the book just to get warmed up and start getting a feel of how questions can be asked. After that I use the online Test bank to practice over and over again until i know it well.

Hope this helps 🙂
