Intro Music: “Free” – Mitch Langley

1. 1. Ruijing – What is your opinion on the breakdown of how much time to spend on the multiple-choice testlets and simulations for each section of the CPA Exam?

1. 1. Lee – I got a 65 on my first attempt at AUD. I’m very disappointed because I thought I knew the information. Where do I go from here?

1. 1. Lisa – I have taken AUD three times now. I don’t feel like I have time to rewrite the notes like I have on other sections. Do you have any advice for me?

1. 1. Angela – REG is the last section I need to pass, but I have failed it three times now. Do you think a personal tutor would help me?

1. 1. Samantha – I failed REG for the fourth time. My plan is to do more questions, take more notes, and focus on a few more areas. Is there anything else I should do?

1. 1. Dury – I just graduated from college. My GPA wasn’t very good, and I have poor credit due to some large debts. Will these factors affect my chance of getting a job with a Big 4 company?

1. 1. Richard – I have passed the CPA Exam, but I do not have enough hours working for a CPA to obtain my license. I do not want to take a pay cut to work for a CPA firm. Do you have any suggestions for what I can do?

1. 1. Mary – Can you give me some insight on how the FAR simulations are graded?

1. 1. Pam – If I take a governmental accounting job, will I only be able to take jobs in the government sector in the future? How marketable will I be if I move out of public accounting?

1. 1. Carlos – Do candidates receive a score analysis if they receive a 75 or above on an exam?

1. 1. Lauren – How long should I study for each section?

1. Brandon – I have passed all four sections, but my supervisors are all inactive CPAs. Do you have any ideas how to get my work experience requirement?
