Accounting: CPA Exam - REG impressions

[@cristina14k]

Thank you for the study tips. I'm starting to study reg today. I'll keep this in mind for sure!

I believe at one point you said your undergraduate degree was not in accounting. So did you have to go back to school to get 30+ hours of accounting courses, covering all respective areas for the state of Michigan.

[@FrankProvo]

Yes indeed. I started this journey after I started taking random business courses at community college. I found I really enjoyed accounting, so I clawed my way through almost all of the courses the school had. In all, I have an associate in accounting, a bachelor in psychology, and a masters in accounting.

Did you use Gleim in the manner Gleim recommends? Just curious about your study method. Good videos!

[@FrankProvo]

I did. It was brutal, but worked. I'll do a study method video soon. Just got a new webcam.

[@ag12thman]

That would be great. Thanks. I have Gleim, but struggling to get through it all. It's tough!

[@FrankProvo]

Gleim's method is trial by fire. If you feel beat up, then you're probably doing it right. Each of my actual scores was 6 to 10 points higher than what I got in gleim's practice exams. Gleim is all killer no filler. I felt Wiley's test bank was more representative of the actual exam, but Gleim prepares you for the worst case scenario.

@@FrankProvo Thanks! I totally agree with what you say here. It seems very tough, which is probably a good thing. What did you think of the textbooks? Or did you focus more on lectures?
