Major CPA Exam Changes Proposed by AICPA
The AICPA recently released a document titled “Exposure Draft: Proposed Content and Skill Specifications for the Uniform CPA Examination“. The PDF is a long (45 pages) read and it’s crammed with information. Some sections will be changed substantially, while others (FARE) won’t be affected as much. Keep in mind that these are only proposed alterations.
REG – After Sleeping on It…
After sleeping on it (and thinking about it all evening), I’m thinking/hoping that I was getting tripped up on test questions (i.e. fake questions that don’t count – the AICPA just uses them to gauge whether or not they’ll use them in the future as “real” questions). I felt like I knew the material pretty
Back from Prometric
I took REG this afternoon and it was an absolute MONSTER. It goes down as the most mind-blowingly frustrating exam experience I’ve had. Every tax question was hard. Complex question after question. It sucked so bad that I looked forward to the next business law question. I didn’t finish one tab of my last sim.
One down…one to go.
I took BEC this morning. It took me about 40 minutes of waiting to get checked in, but oh well. I think I smoked the exam…we’ll see. I felt this way with AUD and that turned out OK. You never really know, though. Financial Management has always been my weak area. I’ve never wanted to
Tomorrow…
BEC is up first thing in the morning. I can roll out of bed and score a 71 on BEC, so to end my streak, I’ve been hitting areas that I’ve always ignored (Financial Management…I hate studying for it, so I go into the Exam and try to fake it). I did 307 IT questions
Yaeger CPA Cram DVD: REG Partnerships
I began Wiley module 35 – Partnership Taxation this morning. I worked an hour and a half holed-up in a conference room during lunch, and then another two hours after work. I was proficient at some aspects of partnerships, but after watching Yaeger‘s cram DVD section over it and working through the Wiley book with
Hell Week: CPA Exam Edition
I’ve done the math and mapped out my final week of studying/cramming/praying and it goes something like this: (keep in mind that I’m not a very structured person…I have a tendency to live by default and not design, per se, so this may be difficult for me). This is hardcore (to me it is, anyway),
CPA Exam CRAM DVDs by Yaeger CPA Review En Route
I have 2 sets of cram DVDs from Yaeger CPA coming in the mail and I am very excited about them. I also purchased the Wiley CPA texts that go with them. The “cram” courses cover all of the important topics covered in the Wiley textbooks from start to finish. I’ve been doing a lot
CPA Exam Simulation Research format change coming 3rd quarter of 2008
Starting in the 3rd quarter of 2008, there will be a new research format in the simulations. A tutorial will be available at cpaexam.org sometime in the 2nd quarter of 2008. Supposedly the new format will make it more simple to navigate. Personally, I don’t think it would take much to improve the current interface.
