    NINJA Question –

    We lost this thread in the forum conversion, so I’m piecing it back together via this Google Doc – which is cool because of the stat analyis.

    Doc Link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qxfKqNvZWrKtQ-VfVsy49otykmubeSHOeX4lJlGxVtc/edit?usp=sharing

    Going forward, people can post their score info here and we will update it with each score release (once we have this doc updated from the past…there were over 1,000 posts).

    Beginning with Tonight’s Score Release… (everything else has been archived)

    *This was the second attempt. First attempt was 1500 ninja questions. Second attempt was 1500 Wiley MCQ, followed by 300 Ninja questions (reset). So take those averages with a grain of salt.

    I put in 80 hours of time reading books and using online MCQ programs.

    Thank you Ninja. I wouldn't pass it if I didn't use ninja MCQ for audit.

    Hey ! Missed this post.

    Additional Comments:
    Bought Ninja MCQ for FAR 1 week prior to exam. Only had 24 hours with it / answered 500 questions, so I didn't make it past the assessment. Should have more data on Regulation.

    To prepare for this exam I studied for approx 200 hours across 6 weeks.

    This is my second attempt at the CPA exam, my first was in 2011-2012. I gave up when my scores started expiring in 2012, after I had failed FAR three times, with a 74 EACH time. By the time I had gotten the third 74, I had found my first salaried job. The commute was over an hour, and I couldn't bear to have to take FAR a fourth time and then (at the minimum) have to retake AUD (which was the first one I passed, in 2011).

    I primarily used the WTB for this section (which I do not plan on using again, unless I do not perform as well on REG with Ninja).

    I've always found to study best by answering MCQ (it's the most engaging way for me to study tedious material,) I almost always look at answer explanations and reference materials, especially when I get the question wrong. If I do not understand why it is wrong, I do further research and/or reading.

    Also listened to Ninja Audio twice, had my manager's 2015 Becker textbooks for reference materials, and the 24 hours on Ninja MCQ.

    It's weird, I could never stand to listen to any of my professors back in college (when I even went to class,) but for some reason, I don't hate listening to Jeff (this is the sincerest form of flattery!) It's very hard to keep this stuff straight and interesting, and the Audio definitely makes a good summary of things you need to know, without getting too detailed for an audio tape.

    I also had the Ninja Plus presentation and audio while the MCQ was down the weekend before my exam, and while it was also just as good, I did not notice much of a difference between the audio and the bonus content, only the format is substantially different in my opinion.
