CPA EXAM Q&A

[@pcrose5163]

I love that someone asked about using the AL for non-AL questions. I did that on REG and it was a huge benefit. I knew I hadn't memorized something and when I saw it on a SIM my heart stopped for a few seconds. Then I remembered that all the answers would be in the AL. I was so thankful.

[@parrisnia72]

What exactly are the Authoritative Literature questions anyway?

[@pdolsk]

Thabks for posting your videos. I’m taking AUD for the THIRD time in the morning. Passed the other three on the first try. Your videos gave me hope and motivation to study.

[@HeavensAudventure]

You're in the same boat I was floating in then - audit is hard! Hopefully you knocked it out and can be done! It took me four tries to get through that exam :') Glad I can help inspire others to make it through!

[@johnoloyede4153]

Your answer to question 5 gave me so much hope just now, I took intermediate 1 and 2 during COVID-19 and I had some online help during my exams along with knowing how to do it myself and really trying to study hard. Our professor gave 15 questions for 1 and half hours and it scares me sometimes. I just want to be sure I am smart enough. Then my sophomore year I failed like almost every tax quiz lol. This helps me a lot I want to really study for my exams effectively next year. I know i can do it just in my class she gave us way too much for limited time.

Passing the CPA exam is when you study hard, if you can’t study or you don’t have time for your studies I’d advise you get yourself a help like Mr Albert

[@AndersonWingate-kh9hn]

I passed my exam on my first try thought Mr Albert help!! 8/7/23! Those simulator exams are on point! Do them over and over !.Study my state specific laws!

[@brownJackson-dc8xw]

People keep talking about albert all over KZbin, he must be a very awesome help

[@johnfred-hw2wk]

I've heard good reviews about this same man on Facebook I had interest in working with him but I was discouraged by my family out of ignorance.

[@freddalot2043]

I have reaching out to Mr Albert for help, thanks guys for the recommendation really appreciate lot

Hey Heaven, I love watching your videos, and you are such a great personality. You really give me positive feelings towards the end game. I started my job at a big four back in June in NYC. I really dont like the work, the busy season has been absolutely insane. 70 hours a week on average since July. Thank god its over on september 15. Im in investment management group and i really dont like the work. Id like to eventually leave NY. I love the south, and id like to get some kind of government job. Hows the job market in knoxville? Im thinking about working for the IRS or US army as a managerial accountant. What do you think? Are there jobs in tennesse? Also btw- i passed far and reg. But still need audit and bec. I hate audit, i failed it miserably but i plan to take it again in october :). Also fyi- im treating myself to a vacation in nashville (again) in december :)

[@HeavensAudventure]

Thank you! I'm in the process of editing a video talking more about my job as a State Auditor and what all it entails. It may help answer some questions you have. I hope you're able to find the right job for you here soon. I don't know how anybody works those long hours for so long. But it's great for the resume. Enjoy your vacation to Nashville!

[@allisondriayoung9518]

Just a warning if you do take the CFE exam, after taking the first part you only have 30 days to take the rest the first time.

[@johnclinton8435]

Hi there, i have a random question. How do you get all your notes in one place in a note book? We have notes taken from the lecture, read the book and practice questions into one notebook? I see all the CPA students have one note book and have all the notes in one place. Can you please share some ideas.

[@HeavensAudventure]

I never took many notes. I kept my laptop with me for the lectures, and the textbook for writing down what the lecturer recommended. I've seen where people keep a separate binder for each section of the exam and keep notes in there. Or they keep a spiral notebook for each exam. Either way, there's a lot of material to keep track of!

[@bobbybangura5016]

Thank you so much for answering my question, Heaven! Have a great time in Africa. I grew up in West Africa and I know first hand Africa will love you. Safe Travels. God Bless! One last question regarding Becker's simulations. How do you approach these? Do you practice them two weeks before the exam or practice them after completing all the modules in each unit? Please advise.

[@HeavensAudventure]

Thank you so much, I am so excited for my trip to Africa. I practiced the simulations as I came across them in the module I was studying. Then, as I reviewed at the very end before my exam, I redid all the simulations. Occasionally, I would add SIMs in my practice test for additional practice. Good luck!!

[@majidiroc2614]

How many attempts did you make regarding the 4 exams? What was the total time in between first and last exam ( where u passed last) ?

[@HeavensAudventure]

Maverick Supersonic I started studying for the exams January 2, 2018 and passed the last one on June 19, 2019. It took a total of 18 months but that includes the first 3 exams I failed. I passed all 4 within a 9 month window.

Being 42, do you think it is still not too late taking the CPA? In US does an older CPA could still get you good opportunity or could they stand against the younger CPAs?

[@jacquelinebaptiste4614]

I did it at 47. You can do it. I got hired after graduation with a mid-term firm. It is worth it. I was not concern with getting hired. I did not compare myself with any one else. One of the reasons they hire me was because I was older and had life experiences, i.e. I'm a mom. LOL. Bottom line, go for it if you really want it. You are your only hindrance.

Hey Heaven!!! I’m about to freak out about my REG exam. My test is on February 10 and I’m developing stomach ulcers.

[@HeavensAudventure]

Katravia Lynn no fun! But I definitely had that same level of test anxiety. So bad that I had to race through my third audit exam because I was about to get sick. Lol you just have to study your heart out and let God take care of the rest!

Can you send me your Regulation text book please? The Wiley textbook driving me crazy.

I'm keeping all of my textbooks, they were very expensive. It wouldn't help much anyways, I took REG before all of the new changes took place. 6 of the 8 units have been updated since I took it. But good luck!!

John Clinton I never really took any notes except in BEC - and those notes were only pages of loose computer paper that I kept in my textbook. I just always had my textbook and laptop to study. I wrote side notes in my textbook but never kept a separate notebook of notes

Heaven's Audventure thank you so much Heaven. You are so inspiring. Thanks for replying to me promptly
