    I started this journey since 2007 on and off. There have been obstacles left and right and it felt like I was running the Gauntlet. Recently, by passing the CPA exams, I have been able to breathe a bit.

    After getting laid off in 09, Recession, and working at Crappy retail jobs, I was at a point where I starting doubting myself. I took 2 of the exams in 2013 using the Wiley books but failed miserably. That made me doubt myself more but also killed my morale too. All that change when I finally got fed up with my retail job and it was what gave me the motivation.

    With very little job experience and being out of school for so long, I knew I had to get them done. It was a “Go for Broke” kind of deal. The good thing was that I had a lot of support from friends and people who I considered mentors. Also reading all the stories on A71 helped out too.

    Going back to my fails in 2013, I decided to switch CPA review course and spent the money for Gleim. I was previously using Wiley’s and Bisk books and Lamber’s CD’s. I couldn’t pass with those materials. I was studying like a Madman hoping to get my first pass. Once I got my first one in October of 2014, that was where the momentum shifted. I got the next one a month later in November. Then I nailed the third one in July of 2015 and my last one was this August 25th.

    Why am I telling you all of this when there are hundreds of similar stories here om A71?

    For one reason.

    EVERYONE WHO IS TAKING THE EXAMS HAVE MORE THAN THE INTELLIGENCE, CAPABILITIES, AND THE WILL TO PASS! NO QUESTION ABOUT IT!

    If you are able to graduate with a Bachelor or Masters degree, you sure as Hell can pass the exams. I realized that when I was passing the exam. Part of it was just needing the right materials. Not only that, but I was actually understanding the materials.

    SO IF YOU START TO TO HAVE DOUBTS, STOP IT. REMEMBER, YOU CAN PASS.

    You have find what study method works for you, sacrifice a little, and go through it like you are running the Gauntlet. The only failure is quitting. Remember, you have both the Intelligence and Capabilities to pass the exams. It tooks me 6 tries before my first pass. It has taken other Candidates more. If I can do it as well as others, you can too.
