NINJA CPA Review

Hello NINJAs!!!

June is almost gone, and where am I?!?!?!

I have been working lots of MCQs and SIMS. This week is one of those weeks that I have decided to finish with this process and be done with REG. My date with REG is fast approaching, July 7 (7/7). I am not superstitious, but I hope to have a lucky day at the testing center.

A recap of my month … 20 +/- hours of studying every week and a little of the NBA finals on the side, just to support the Heat (I live in South Florida).

To be honest, this time I feel more prepared than before. I added a cram course to my study schedule. Some of my “gaps” with topics like which amounts go on the Schedule K and how it flows through the K-1 are now making sense.

Also, business law is making more sense now, not sure if it is because of repetition, or it’s all about the cram, but anyway I am a happy camper.

I still think that the simulations are my weak area. I scored 70 the last time and my biggest weak areas were business law and taxation of entities. I guess with those two areas as weak, I had no chances of passing.

My plan for the next 2 weeks is to keep working MCQs and SIMS on Wiley MCQs until 7/6. I have to push myself this week as much as I can because having the 4th in the middle of next week is going to be a little distracting.

Good luck to all of you, especially to those of us taking the exam for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc…time.
