    I got a bachelors degree in finance then took some accounting classes at a community college to meet the requirements. I financial actg, managerial actg, intermediate actg 1 and 2, auditing 1, taxation 1 and cost accounting. My community college offers auditing2 as well as taxation2 i was wondering if i should take these as well or should i just start studying for the cpa exam? Will i run into alot of concepts while studying that i will not know at all or should i be good?

    I would start studying for the CPA, especially if you are looking for a job. The more exams you pass, the more marketable you'll be. Becker does an excellent job in teaching as if the candidate did not have any prior experience. Yes it will take more time and effort to understand the material, but it'll click if you put the time in.

    I agree w/ @foreseeable. The review material has what you need to know ( I use yaeger).

    Also I've not taken the 2 classes you mentioned and have done OK so far.

    Think its time to begin your CPA journey!!

    I don't see any reason to invest time and money on pre-CPA course, unless you need more education units.
