I’m working my way through Yaeger CPA Review’s Regulation HomeStudy program and I’m finding that I need to make notes of rules/exceptions so that I won’t forget them when I take the Regulation Exam in a month. This practice will work with any section of the CPA Exam, but is especially helpful I think with […]

I peeked into the mailbox yesterday and sure enough some spam from some company called “NASBA” was in there. I opened it up and before I looked (true story) I prayed “God, please make this say that I passed” (or something to that effect). Instead, my eyes zeroed in on some heartless line about “no […]
Read MoreHave you activated your subscription to the Professional Literature?
For all of the NTS renewals I’ve done over the last couple of (gasp) years, I have yet to subscribe to the professional literature access offered by NASBA. I’ve paid enough $$ in exam fees that they should give me a lifetime subscription. If you have a good study package, this is probably just a […]
Read MoreWaiting…and waiting…
The good news: REG scores are out. The bad news: I don’t have mine. The weird news: A friend of mine who took the exact same section in the exact same room on the exact same day had his score yesterday. My score must have been so fantastic that they didn’t think posting it electronically […]

Read MoreMajor 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. […]
Read MoreREG – 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 […]
